Just For Today – I Will Not Worry
Reflections on Love This morning I am thinking about love. How love feels… Soft. Gentle. Calm. Compassionate. Peaceful. Letting love sit, within… Just for today, I will not worry, I will love. Let Gary Barlow’s Sing fill your heart with love, and light and hope….. S, ❤️
Just For Today – I Will Be Kind To All Living Things
Thinking About Love I think a lot about love. I believe it is my purpose. Well, it is everyone’s purpose, isn’t it? I think about situations where I easily open my heart, other situations I struggle to open it. I think about love’s give and take. I think about how confusing love can feel when…
55 Rules For Love – Rule #10 – Accept Honest Criticism, It Is Good For Us
Accept Honest Criticism, It Is Good For Us No one likes to be told their faults, especially from those we love; even constructive criticism has a sting to it. I believe no one really likes to be told their faults, because deep down, it really does matter what other people think of us, doesn’t it?…
Just For Today – I Will Be Grateful For My Many Blessings
I’m sitting here, right now in the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, on my way to Huatulco, Mexico. I’m sipping a glass of Pinot Grigio. I’ve had eggs benny. At 3:00am this morning I received a call from Airbnb that they cancelled my reservation in Mexico because the location is not available. My taxi to the…
Just For Today – I Will be Grateful For My Many Blessings

Mararikkulam North, Kerala, India – My 50th Birthday!
A month ago, if you would have said I’d be celebrating my 50th birthday at a rustic homestay in a small coastal village of southwestern India, I wouldn’t have believed you because of the busy life I was living in Qatar! But life, like an ocean has small waves and big waves. Michael and I…
Little Ditty About Love
Here, at the age of 49, I’ve had another “aha” moment about love. A more mature, deeper “aha” moment. A new understanding of the many dynamic layers within an authentic, healthy love. Love, according to Stephen Covey, is a verb – an action word with the resulting emotion, feeling of love that blossoms from…
The Beach and First Glimpse of a Few of the Many Streets – Karon Beach, Phuket, Thailand
The rain stopped after a few hours, so early afternoon we went down to the pool, chilled, then went for a walk along Karon Beach. Karon Beach is the third longest beach on Phuket Island, so we rock-paper-scissored to decide to walk the left half or walk the right half. We walked right. There is a…
Paris – See You Again, My Friend!!!
EVERYTHING IS BETTER IN PARIS!!!! Well, here I sit with a coffee, back home in the desert where the sounds of the Muezzin’s call to prayer have replaced the sounds of cathedral bells tolling across the heavens of Paris…. I have truly enjoyed looking over our pictures this morning of our stay in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Saint-Germain-des-Prés, we came…
