Life From My Perspective.
Fourteen years ago when my daughter was 3 years old, she took a dance class. She’s been twirling ever since. In dance school(s), she took ballet, tap, jazz, and hip-hop. Though she resigned from the classes a few years ago, don’t ever doubt that she’s still out there somewhere twirling her beautiful heart out. You’ve …
“Follow your dreams.” “Chase your dreams.” “Go after your dreams.” Though well-intended, I think this is terrible advice. If you want to live your dreams- STOP CHASING THEM! That’s right- STOP CHASING YOUR DREAMS! Rather, get out there in front of them and allow them to chase you. Become the person that such dreams would …
The following is a piece written by my late grandmother, Dorothy “Dott” Adair (08/13/1931 – 11/14/2012). A woman of compassion, creativity, talent, intelligence, class, beauty, and entrepreneurship. One of my life’s greatest and grandest teachers. My grandmother and my daughter A Thousand Lives I know I’ve lived a thousand lives And I will live again …
I frequently consider how incredible men are. Father’s Day seems like a fine time to put these thoughts and this gratitude into written form. International Men’s Day would also be a great time, but I’ve chosen to indulge in this opportunity as well. (Pictured below are a few prominent men in my own life.) Happy …
To all those who’ve lost direction and hope along the way- You are not alone. He forever saw the beauty in the outside world around him, But never saw the beauty that he carried deep within. He begged for peace that never seemed to come, For he’d long forgotten that peace comes only from within. …
I dashed out the front door early in the morning prepared for another day’s work. A step or two down my front walkway I couldn’t help but notice the web that’d been built overnight in the butterfly bush that I hadn’t trimmed back at the end of last season. I stopped and checked it out. …
I passed by, camera in hand, one snowy afternoon in March just as the sun peeked through as if asking permission to come out now. I glanced over and she immediately caught my eye- I had to do a double take. Seeing her standing there dressed in white- so perfectly imperfect that it in fact …
Does anything but love last forever. And what is forever anyway. Thoughts to ponder not questions to answer. If energy cannot be created and cannot be destroyed then what is life and what is death? None of us are here forever, or are we? If we are energy {which we are} then we can’t be destroyed. …
Winter Solstice again upon us, my heart is filled with joy, excitement, and anticipation. So much to look forward to! The shortest day of the year- that in and of itself is pretty darn cool! And the knowing that each day is getting longer for the next 6 months is both a reminder to enjoy …
So I’ve almost never gambled. Almost, because I once quit a job after two hours. I left on my lunch break and never went back. Instead I stopped at a local convenience store, picked up a Pennsylvania lottery ticket, and proceeded home. And don’t you know it- I won! I mean the ticket was a …
I know we’re not supposed to do this since The Great Curse of 2020 (and apparently 2021 also!). And in fact I’ve never done it before. But… WHAT IF.. What if I did? 2022 is going to be MY YEAR! Sparks’ll be flyin’, my heart will be singin’! Whispers of dreams long dreamt will transform …
I was out on my nightly jog last evening with my best friend Jackson. He wasn’t talking much so my mind began to wander. I was recalling a recent conversation with a few acquaintances. I had mentioned to them that I used to tell people I didn’t go to college because I “couldn’t really,” because …
