Forward Motion

I don’t go back, at least I try not to. What I mean is that when making life decisions I don’t consider going back to what once was. I’m looking forward – like, “Where to next?” In the early days of our marriage my husband and I had a lot of financial troubles. At one…

Struggling to Make It to the Finish Line

I’m in the home stretch desperate to make it to the finish line. I’m packing, I’ve signed a contract, but there’s many more steps to go before the final move-out and closing. I’m praying it all goes well and I have the energy and clarity to see it through. In the mean time, I’ve just…

A Time For Everything

I’ve been quiet these past few months, but busy, and a bit overwhelmed. I flew back to the US at the beginning of March to face the life I had left behind. It was inevitable I suppose, but daunting, nevertheless. After both my parents were gone (2012) my brother never let me back into their…

Reborn and Golden for 2022

At the moment as I write this on New Year’s Eve, I don’t feel reborn. Perhaps I will tomorrow? Maybe that’s my New Year’s resolution – to experience rebirth and feel golden. I’m at a low point because I had felt hopeful after completing my vaccinations in November, and the lifting of NSW’s lockdown in…

Angelic and Heartful

I think of Angels as being non-judgmental helpers who respond to genuine needs. But there is a catch here, in that we have to ask for help in some way. Or maybe someone else is requesting the help on our behalf. The point is: If you’re not receptive how can anyone help, and if you…

Create the Day eBook

In the early days of my blog I created a series of posts called “Create the Day”. These posts were based on my philosophy that we are the co-creators of our lives, so with love and intention we can create a better life and a better world. Recently, due to my continued study of inner…

Elated about Joining Creativity With My Heart

This word “elated” felt slightly frustraiting to me. Why?, I asked myself. I struggled to figure out why I felt no inspiration about this prompt word for week 33 of Intuitive Collage. I didn’t even want to do it and I thought about skipping the week. Hmmm…. As usual, when I struggle with a word…

This Really Happened

June 2018 I was scheduled for a business trip out west and planned to visit my daughter during my trip. I was headed to Arizona and Washington State. Two days before my flight I got an email from my sister-in-law in Australia saying she had taken my husband to the emergency room because of blood…

Dinnertime with My Cousins

That’s a really big salad! When I ordered the Taco Salad I didn’t expect to get such a huge meal, I’m not that big of an eater. I couldn’t exactly send it back, especially with such friendly service.Dinner is so much better with a perky waitress. It had been almost 3 years since I had…
