100 & 365
.
It’s the 100th day of my 100 Day Challenge and the 365th day since my mother died. I feel sad. I’m remembering the day. But I’m OK. I’m hopeful, actually.
I was having an emotional conversation with a friend of mine a couple of nights ago about energy. Everything is energy, whether it’s love, money, [...]
Come on in, I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in
February is coming quickly. February is the most difficult month of the year from me. The 3rd is the anniversary of my mother’s death, but even before that, February was difficult for me. It had a lot of significance in my relationship. February and Chicago. At any rate, I started a new 100 Day Challenge [...]
The miracles will come, but first, the pasta.
As the post-holiday down time (read as: post-holiday funk) settles in, life has thrown some curveballs at my family. They aren’t completely unexpected, so it’s sort of a feeling of, “OK, here it is. It’s time.” It’s interesting to see how different people react to the situation. Some melt down. Some shrug their shoulders and [...]
Repetition

I’m no longer a practicing Catholic but the teachings of the Church are so ingrained in me that it’s often a struggle to wrap my head around different ideas and beliefs. One of the things I’ve struggled with for a long time is [...]

just keep moving until you get somewhere
I was talking with a dear friend and advisor last night (“advisor” because she’s the best psychic I’ve ever found, and trust me I’ve talked to a lot of them. 99% accuracy. I’d give her 100% but she’s human…I think. ha. ha. ha.). Anyway, I was telling her that I felt stuck. I was telling [...]
I’m watching and listening
I’m already struggling with my word for the year (TRUST). But we choose words that signify the things that we really need to work on, don’t we. Trust really means “surrender.” Trust asks us not to react immediately, but to breathe and let the situtation flesh itself out. It may take an hour or a [...]
Confident Expectation of Something
I chose my word of the year on New Year’s Day. Really, my word chose me again, and it’s a good one. I pulled out three slips of paper from my God Box and “trust” was the first one I opened. Those of you who have talked to me a lot in the past [...]
