I Have All That I Need
Lately, I have pushed abundance aside…much to my dismay…and an astute onlooker to my life said to me, “You have all that you need.” My first thought was, “No, I don’t. I don’t have __________, or _______, or __________, or _______.” (I stopped writing gratitude in my journal in January, so when I do write, [...]
“Take a stand; make a change…”
Donna requested, about two months ago, that I write about new beginnings. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Let it never be said that the mPower bloggers never did anything for the people! Change is an interesting thing. It can be exciting. It can be scary. It can be welcomed. It can be [...]
Something So Right
As a mother, I sometimes wonder if I ever do anything “right.” There are days when I realize that I must have done something right. Others who observe our family, remark on the “good job” Mark and I have done in raising our children. I give credit to my children. I think that each of [...]
Water, Water Everywhere!
We have recently experienced a lack of water. There was a leak in a pipe. No one can uncover the cause of the leak, but this much we know. It started very small, perhaps just a drop coming out the pipe every now and then. The pipe was covered by dirt and grass and plants. [...]
Live!
Okay, did you just read that title as “live!” (as in a band plays a concert and records the music as a collection of “live” music) or “live!” (as in you get to wake up each morning with a new opportunity to “live” each day to the fullest?!?!?!?!) Well, I was meaning the latter pronunciation, [...]
I Just Love You
There are times in my life when I say something that I know is absolutely true. A feeling comes over me and I just have to say it. The one we talk about the most is “I don’t do subtle.” My husband and I were riding on an elevator. I don’t remember the conversation we [...]
Do You Know How Amazing You Are? (Part Deux)
I was talking recently with someone very, very dear to me. I forget exactly what we were discussing, but he said to me, rather unprovokedly, “You’re one of the most amazing women I’ve ever met.” And I sat there completely dumbfounded. I expressed my shock, and asked him why on earth I fit into that [...]
That certain thing called…
…the boyfriend! (Note: if you can tell me where that song comes from, you will go down in my Book of Awesome People until the end of time. Family members don’t count because a) you’re already in the Book and b) that’s kind of cheating because…well, it just is. Just sayin’.) See, I’ve been pondering [...]
Tribal Unity
So–the subject of family (or, for the purpose of this post–the experience of living tribes) has occupied my thoughts lately. Each of us is born into some type of family, though not all will reside with mother and father and siblings through childhood. Then, whatever our home life experience, we have opportunities to build a [...]
Love Letter #2
My dear friend: How excited I am for you! You are finally beginning to understand just how wonderful you are! During the last few years, I have watched you as you were hurt over and over again by people who claimed to be your friends. I tried to help you see that they were not [...]
