Goodbye 2009

“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.”
- Hal Borland
May you find peace in whatever life brought your way in 2009 and may you discover all possibilities life holds for you in 2010. Most of all, may you hold [...]

Celebrating Forever on the Dance Floor

One of the summer’s sensations on YouTube and one of the best and most heartwarming real life celebrations of love, spirit, and true friendship. Brings tears of joy to my eyes.

My Wish For You – To Know What It Feels Like…

There is magic in empathy.
To stand in someone else’s shoes.
To see through someone else’s eyes.
To know someone else’s happiness, triumph!
To feel someone’s pain.
There is sorrow, joy, and comfort in all of it.
But most of all, understanding.
I wish for you a way to connect with others in a meaningful way that will not only give to [...]

Love means never having to say you’re sorry?

Is it true? Do we really never have to say we’re sorry to those we love? Even if we unintentionally hurt someone we love, do we not have to say the words, “I’m sorry for hurting you”? I’d like to think when we do get it wrong, we try to make it right.

Love: Friendship Never Ends

The video below recaptures the story of two who adopted/rescued a lion cub from it’s cramped cage, raised it lovingly, then released it back into the wild.  What is amazing is that no matter how life changed, the heart remembered love no matter how long it had been, how far apart they were or are, [...]

Love: Devotion is its own adventure

Often, people speak of love and devotion romantically. Like swans mating for life or when Phoebe explains the relationship between Ross and Rachel on Friends as “He’s her lobster.”
But devotion in and of itself is more than some romantic notion. It’s love personified in many forms: A mother or father devoted to [...]

My Wish For You: Crisp Autumn Days

Today I wish for you crisp autumn days…the kind that make you want to take hayrides, pick pumpkins, and get out your sweaters and boots.
I wish for you…
…Fall foliage beyond compare
…Crunchy leaves under your feet (instead of in your gutters)
…Hot cocoa in red plaid thermoses
…Football games
…Warm blankets
…Crackling fires to keep you cozy
…And skies as clear [...]

Love: Pay Attention

“Attention is the most basic form of love; through it we bless and are blessed.”
– John Tarrant
While life flies by, it’s easy to get caught up in the to do lists, the schedules, the hectic lives we all lead.
We text while we talk, we surf while we watch TV, and we talk while we [...]
