6 to Fall-Pride/Ownership/Identity

I have been asked to address the topic of ownership/identity as it applies to familial ties, and that is what we will do. Your children are often a source of pride, and sometimes a source of disappointment. While this is not really accurate, some people see it as such, their identity is so deeply tied to their children, that it almost becomes a point…

7 to Fall-Personal Growth/Spark!

I am utterly clueless. I have no idea where you are in life, what your journey in life entails, and yet, I talk to you every time as if you know where I am, where I have been, what I have learned and how I have grown…at least in certain areas of my life. I speak to you, as if you know, as if…

8 to Fall-You aren’t a golfer…

Nope, you aren’t a golfer, therefore you don’t need any irons. And since you don’t have any irons, you definitely don’t need to put those in the fire. You get where this is going today, let’s drive on!😉 I remember a fellow massage therapist once described a mutual friend as having too many irons in the fire. I thought, well yeah, she has 3…

9 to Fall-Philosophize Them

Yes, this is where I am, where I have been trying to be for so long, where I intentionally walk towards every day. Enduring difficult personalities has cost me a lot. Peace has been hard won. I had to take a break, to take a step back, to let go and eliminate what didn’t belong. If you don’t belong in the building phase, you…

10 to Fall-The Act of Perfection

Do you know those people that you address issues with, and their follow up is typically, “Well you aren’t perfect either!”? Let’s address those folks, shall we? This won’t hurt a bit, but then it might. There is no such thing as perfection. Whew! I said it. 😅 No one is perfect! What a relief!!! Perfect practice, indeed, does not make for perfection! Let’s…

11 to Fall-Solace amongst the dead…

We get one shot at this life. We can make the most of it, or we can squander it away. I won’t lie, I absolutely love the fact that we as humans love a good come back story. I think the reason for this is that we do come back, we do grow, we do change, we do morph, and we do become differing…

12 to Fall-Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, In the Future

Written yesterday, with dread in mind. We all have difficult and toxic people in our lives, people we have not interacted with for years. Absence can give you a reason to self reflect and change, or it can harden your heart even further. Communication and understanding is key. Boundaries are for everyone, and you do not have certain rights, just because you assume you…

13 to Fall-Sonflower

A couple days ago, Sonny was playing and ripped a nail down at the nail bed of his paw. He was limping and crying, so we knew he needed to head to the vet. He also added an additional back leg limp when his dad got home from out of town work this week. Yesterday, he and Bill headed off to the vet, this…

14 to Fall-The Progressive Human

Do you ever find yourself making friends in unexpected places and unexpected ways? I think when we are seeking to find like minds, we are willing to look, or find those people meant to be in our lives, no matter the distance, no matter the source of introduction, and no matter the differences. It truly is the common things that pull us together, establishing…

15 to Fall-Hobby Lobby, part 2

The things purchased at Hobby Lobby: I sourced all feathers and eucalyptus from Amazon. And my antlers came from Chillicothe Antique Emporium. Yes, we do have a third dog, Berrie. She is a golden oldie at almost 12. Berrie is a bit camera shy, but doesn’t ever fall picture need a hound somewhere in it? Check out all of those roses! Two fresh bouquets…
