Wisdom in everyday life

relationships

  • There is a sensation in my chest, a sense of urgency. It’s the feeling of ‘have I forgotten something?’ It feels like the sensation of an answer being on the tip of your tongue but not quite in your consciousness. Something feels off. What the hell? I could look for someone to talk to about… Read more

  • No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both he is twice blessed indeed. A disturbing trend I see and hear about is the breakdown of the duties of the wife and mother, (good God read on before you roll your eyes). Face it and you know it,… Read more

  • Mother’s day

    Funny how life is…  I was a mom at 18. The mother of 3 at 23. My life is nothing like I thought it would be. It is so much more… Inside of myself has always been an awareness of the importance of my job as a mother. The responsibility that was mine because well,… Read more

  • Breaking dishes

    There is no doubt that life is frustrating. In appreciation to this fact I would like to start a national breaking dishes day. A much-needed, pretty straight forward approach to releasing frustration. Why take drugs, or sit endlessly in front of a tv or electronic devise, why drink until your blind or eat until your… Read more

  • Digging Deep

    Funny how life becomes a teacher when everything you need to know about yourself is revealed in the moment your dog tears up your special something, or your child displays disruptive behavior, or your partner embarrasses the hell out of you. Lose your cool and you will find a lesson ready to be learned right… Read more

  • Training days

    I recently got myself a puppy. That’s a picture of Zeus. At first I was not sure what was I thinking. My eldest son had given me the idea when I was in France having a melt down about being lonely and all of that jazz. He had suggested getting a dog as a companion.… Read more

  • Spring is coming?

    This is a tough time in northern Minnesota for me. There is still quite a bit of snow on the ground and the air can be quite cold. No need for a spring jacket its cold as hell outside. The silver lining, the days are at nearly 12 hours of sunlight meaning, the snow mountains… Read more

  • Facing your fear

    Recently I moved back into my house after renting it out for a few years and I am facing a few fears as I get ready to do some much-needed remodeling. The house is small and perfect for one person, awesome. Not so awesome, the mess that needed to be cleaned before my Virgo self… Read more

  • Weeding through thoughts

    I took this picture of these flowers while in France. Roses are one of my favorite flowers and I thought it was cool to see roses in bloom in December. The gardener of these grounds keeps them up even through the darkening of winter and the flowers rewarded the gardeners effort. Tending these grounds is… Read more

  • Now what

    Ok so it’s 2013, looks like we made it and all of that jazz. We lived through all of the scary dates like 11-11-11, 12-12-12, and the end date of the Mayan calendar 12-21-2012. Whew that was close!  And because of all of the hoop-la, I am expecting great things from 2013. I just know… Read more
