Meet the moment

My daughter crashed the car.

I heard her voice come through as shaky, weary and distraught. She said, “I hit a car and I need you to come.”

I do not even remember if I replied like my heart was feeling or not. Our bodies have a way of safeguarding us from any experience that requires us to be protected, secure and safe.

Doorways and Openings

Two years ago my husband came to me with a request. He asked, “You know my dad has to move out of assisted living. I don’t think it is best for him to go into memory care given his personality and behaviors. It just won’t be a good fit. What do you think about him coming to live with us?”

The road less traveled

This day is the eve of 2020 and I am missing some puzzle pieces.

Do you ever feel that way?

Like you are sitting in front of a gigantic puzzle and you are clearly making headway toward the finish line and then BAM…you can’t seem to find the missing one for the section you are working on.

Evolving beyond the turning point

Many years ago I was asked to go to a haunted house with some friends around Halloween. I was a bit reluctant because something within me wasn’t feeling the whole experience. I went anyway. Back, at that time, I was a people-pleaser…way more concerned with how others saw me or what they would think of me.
