I’m not sure what to title this one. I’ll decide after I journal. Awhile back, I went to Highland Retreat for a spiritual retreat. I went by myself with tons of opportunities to read, create, sing, and walk in nature. One particular morning, I went for a walk that was recommended by the center’s manager….
Squeezing in some fun
With the sun out longer, squeezing in some fun after work is totally doable. Sometimes you have to change your mindset from “I’m tired” to “Let’s go!”. Here are two AMAZING activities to consider in Richmond, VA. North Bank Trail Link to the trail on All Trails, which is a great place to find the…
Three Little Birds
There are God spaces in the universe. The portal between heaven and earth. The Spirit calls to us when we sit in the quiet. Although, I do recognize Him, my Abba Father, in the chaos of a 6 year old birthday, a work conference filled with passionate people, and throughout the busy of the day….
Graduation 2022
Looking back, a friend and soul sister, shared this memory of our daughters singing a duet, “In His Eyes”. We were in a state of “awe” as they delivered their recital piece to us. Keep singing and supporting each other. The night before graduation and after graduation practice that day, her friends went to Build…
Untethered Soul
I have spent the last two days alone in the woods with nature. I experienced the “untethered soul”. I wondered how to write about this awakening without cheapening the beauty. I hope to write about the get-a-way to remember the events and archive pictures. That will come. For now, in short, I wanted to express…
One moment can capture a lifetime
Where do the years go? I’m standing in the commons of the high school celebrating awards for my daughter and her friends. We are laughing, talking, and tears come up. This is it. Senior. Graduating. Moving on. The last child to fly the nest. I see our neighbor from over 16 years ago. When we…
Richmond Hill
How you spend your time and attention matters. A New York Times article noted that our “time and attention are valuable resources, and we are in control of how–and on whom–we spend them.” (Melissa Kirsch, May 7, 2022) Friendships and socializing in a meaningful way on a consistent basis promotes good health. Conversely, spending time…
All State Chorus
Valentina and some of her very close friends were selected to attend All State Chorus. The music is beyond beautiful! You will enjoy. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of joy through voice, musical instruments, and the message of the song. At one point they come out into the audience to sing a…
Adelaide Louise Lamb
My first grandchild. Oh how I love you and all the beauty you bring to our world. From a very young age you’ve been vivacious, giving, and ready to lend a helping hand. One of your favorite things to do is to get ready for a party. You will make lists to get us organized….
New Beginnings
The written word. Taking our hands to write or journal. I recently listened to an inspirational podcast from Good Life Project in which they interviewed SHAKA SENGHOR. His TED talk will share about his life story, and I encourage you to listen. In 1991, Shaka Senghor shot and killed a man. He was, he says,…
