Solitude

Solitude. For many, it is a word of peace and contentment. But solitude is more than a word. In it’s full potential, solitude is actually a practice.

Fall Transitions

It’s Fall. Cooler weather is slowing creeping in. Nights are growing longer than the days. Our routines have changed again as children have transitioned back to school.

Plant Trimming – Spirit Cleansing

A few weeks ago. One early morning. I awoke and was drawn to go outside. The warm sun had just risen. The morning was quiet. It felt new and fresh. Doesn’t the saying go a new day, a new beginning? Well, I could feel it. I sat on my porch for a few minutes. Breathing. [...]
