iPhone Journey – Day 9
I love cloud watching and the rare chance to dream upon a rainbow way up high. We were very grateful for some good vibes sent our way by the universe. I was cloud watching another day this week when all of a sudden my niece piped up from the passenger seat that thank god she…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The challenge of relaxing. It’s been another stressful week and you know you’re in trouble when peaceful nature scenes can’t relax you. We usually head to the nature trails for relaxation, but Harper made it quite clear she wasn’t being left home. Well, with a 5k event going on and bikes and rollerbladers wizzing by,…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The magical vibes of sunrise. There’s a mystical peacefulness to being the only one out on the water appreciating the colorful silence and the stress and worry left briefly on the shore.

I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase up shit creek without a paddle. One of those phrases I’ve heard throughout my lifetime, but not one I liked or wanted to use until this week. While my mother is still improving and recovering, my husband now has vertigo and while I don’t need a paddle for the creek, I am about…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The timeless treasures of childhood, with homemade Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies being right up there at the top. When I began baking them, we were under the impression it was absolutely fine to eat raw cookie dough, but now I patiently wait for my niece to be in a baking mood and look…

After much thought, I believe a dose of Idris Elba in Hijack, a prescription of Jack Ryan, a daily fix of the Tour de France, the book remedy…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase “adaptive delusion” and the fact that I’ve decided I need a little delusion in my life. On the scale of delusion to reality, I’m off the charts into living in the real world. Somehow the facts of the moment always drown out the drama and delusion, but in a week where Harper exhausted…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The Icelandic phrase “þetta reddast” which means “it will all work out in the end.” I wrapped up all my projects a week early and have begun my summer vacation away from to-do lists and over thinking and letting go of the illusion of control. In other words, I hope it will all work out…

I’ve Been Pondering…
Going on strike against some topics at the water cooler or, in my case tree chats, since I don’t even know if water cooler chats still exist. As someone who once orchestrated a strike in my union days, I’m ready to walk out over any DeSantis/Trump coverage, news channels that only want to talk about…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The art of doing nothing. Surprisingly, it takes a lot of work to get ready to do nothing. I’ve been making list after list trying to accomplish everything before June so I have plenty of time to do nothing all summer. Nobody in the family believes this will happen or that I’m capable of making…
