Chaos
What the hell happened? She could get through anything – many, many anything’s. She had had her share of ups and downs and tried to view them as a nice roller-coaster ride. Surfing waves, ups and downs. Not recently. It had been a not fun kind of roller coaster. She was no longer surfing those… Continue reading Chaos
Happy New Year

I had taken the time to re-energize or re-align myself. I felt like I was in touch with me again.… Continue reading As good as it gets

I had reserved a two bedroom cottage, The Beachcomber, at the Old Shipyard Campground, Spencer Island in Nova Scotia. Instead, because my daughter was feeling… Continue reading When plans change
Wherever you go, there you are
I went to Cuba, not to explore the culture, but to take one week of time to myself to sit and relax by the place I love so much – the ocean. The thought of waking, meditating, swimming and just being by the ocean for one week felt like the perfect thing for me to… Continue reading Wherever you go, there you are
