Life From My Perspective.
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 …
You’ve got this thing about you. It’s in your smile, in your passions, in your laugh. It’s in the spring that’s in your step. It’s in the sparkle in your eyes, it’s in your giggle and in the way you get lost in the things you love. It’s your muchness, that’s what it is. Don’t …
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. …
Ever have an inspired thought or idea? I’m guessing so, I mean who hasn’t! We allow most of our inspired ideas to come and go, never following up on them. Never taking action. Oftentimes it’s because we don’t know the “how’s,” or we think it simply wouldn’t be possible. The voices in our head throw …
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. …
A 10 Year Challenge- Is this actually a thing? Over the last week or so, opening social media has meant seeing photos that your friends are posting of themselves 10 years ago and a photo of themselves in current times. Not feeling engaged in it, I hadn’t partaken until now. A bit more fun to …
I want to share with you today what it might look like to reclaim your own power. I am sharing just two examples- two that hit close to home for me recently. Sometimes life is going to kick your ass. And if it doesn’t, it might be safe to assume that you need to get …
It was the last of the week, but first of the month, the first of the year. Welcome 2022, please- have a seat right here. My over-the-top magical optimism about 2022 was put to the test before the year even showed up. The test had the nerve to continue through nearly the entire first day …
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 …
