Warm Fuzzies Abound!
When I share a meal with friends, it is not unusual for me to ask everyone at the table what they are grateful for. I love doing this because it gets others outside of themselves and whatever “chaos” may be going on in their day to shift focus onto everything that is right, perfect and just plain … Continue reading »
I AM my home.
I’ve been assembling this blog post since the airport in Missouri… so it has bits and pieces of exhaustion, change and anyway.. this is how my adventure has been thus far: Last night and this morning were CRAZY.

Teeny Tiny Little Miracles Abound!
Today was a very windy and cold day here in Los Angeles. It was also a day in which I had to deliver flowers.

A Tiny Beautiful Little Miracle!
Last night, when I realized I needed to put gas in my tank, I got in my car and followed my instinct to drive way out of the way to buy some gas. I had no idea why I wanted to go where I did for gas, I just had an urge… so I followed … Continue reading »
