Look After Yourself!

For almost two weeks I’ve been hunched over my desk, doing schoolwork and making jewelry for upcoming Christmas Markets. Very productive…until…IT started. That aching pain up the right side of my neck, then a few days later over the right side of my head and eventually out my right eye. Has your eye ever felt […]

All We Need is Music, Sweet Music…

Quote 3 of 3 Calling out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat Summer’s here and the time is right For dancing in the street Okay, not so much of a quote as a rally cry! Don’t waste the birdsong, the radio playing in the car next you at the traffic […]

Keep Dancing….

Dancing Quote 2 of 3: “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche I hope everyone accepted Friday’s challenge and had their own impromptu dance party this weekend, we had several, including one while playing golf…Always keep your ears open, there is […]

Dance Baby Dance

I read a blog today that really resonated with me, to such a degree that I’m setting aside my planned post in it’s honour. I was also challenged by Simon Wood to do 3 quotes over 3 days. This was the second challenge quote, the first one came in when I was on holidays and […]

Just A Little Seed

There are moments in life that are marked, something happens that sets that moment in stone, cements it in your memory, your heart. Sometimes it’s a sad thing, sometimes it’s a change you didn’t see coming, sometimes it’s this…. The first time a plant you grew from seed, flowers. It took two years and was […]

Thin Strips

To julienne something is to it cut into thin strips, similar to matchsticks. While contemplating this “word of the day” from my friends in the Ragtag Community it occurred to me that humans repeatedly julienne themselves. Carving our beings, our hearts, brains and souls into smaller and smaller slivers in order to meet the ever-increasing […]

Just because you can’t see it….

On Sunday I visited a ‘pop-up’ bead store, there were excellent discounts advertised and as you know I’ve got a little fondness for sparkly stuff. Driving home I kept thinking that I hadn’t been charged properly. I was right, all the cute accessories had been charged as single items instead of 6 x 1, 2 […]

Weightless

A momentary glimmer of light flicker, dark, flicker. Growing steadily stronger, quicker bright, dim, bright. What path is this, that shows such promise then denies? Teases and coaxes, enticing me, with small lies. I’ve done my share done my part Felt the burn, the pounding of my heart. Does the judge not care, not hear […]

Glass House

Firstly, a disclaimer, I’m not an expert on running, however….today at the gym I saw something that seemed wrong. One of the ladies had the speed on the treadmill set really fast and she would periodically grab the front of the treadmill or the handrails to kinda keep up with her feet. Even with my […]

I’m choosing happy!

I’m not always forlorn, it creeps up on me when I’m idle, when my brain is operating on autopilot, you know… showering, emptying the dishwasher, even sometimes walking the dogs. That’s the one that brings me to my senses, how on earth can I be gloomy when I’m in the fresh air with beautiful blue […]
