The change of season always brings new adventures. There is something wonderful about watching the shift from summer to autumn. The leaves are completing their cycle- what started as fresh, new green is turning into brilliant yellows and oranges. A drive through the colors with my older brother and our children allowed for some beautiful… Continue reading It’s Autumn Time Again- A Meditative Meander Through The Trees
A meditative meander in the late summer woods A ways from home The path littered with natural distractions- berries, pine cones, mushrooms and flowers… I love to look around as I wander, as I wonder Who is observing me?

Sometimes in the lush, late summer lawn of life, you find yourself with a huge swath of thistles.

Or maybe the thistle has been there all along,… Continue reading Pulling Thistle, A Life Lesson
I had no idea that this could even happen… but looking up (with lots of protective eye gear) wasn’t the only amazing sight experienced during today’s eclipse. I think we only experienced 87% eclipse here in southern Colorado- but we stood out by the garage and observed. While waiting my turn to use the goggles,… Continue reading Eclipsed Leaf Shadows

A practice in mindfulness. Today, I watched the wind- in the grasses, the trees, on the water and in… Continue reading Watching The Wind ~ A Meditative Meander Around A Lake
This one is for all you pixie dust believers and magic dreamers… for this, my dears, is the summer of fairies! I am a starry-eyed gal, always existing in the mindset that there are, without question, fairies, Bigfoot, mermaids, unicorns, ghosts, angels, you name it. It’s who I am and how I choose to see… Continue reading The Summer Of Fairies (Part 1)
While camping this past weekend we were witness to a view- something worth appreciating… savoring. I couldn’t stop myself from documenting this glorious sunset. The Somewhere In-Between I couldn’t believe the colors, the gentleness of the air as it gradually got colder and colder. It did not become windy, allowing our campfire to thrive… Continue reading A Peaceful Sunset And A Morning Meander
Happy Sunday evening. Tonight I want to share a bit of peace that I found today. Come along with me on my meandering meditation through the mountains, rocks, trees and along the river. Quiet- no noise that distracts. Alive with the gentle sounds of the earth, the wind and the movement of water. I hope… Continue reading I Like These Rocks. I Think I Shall Live Among Them.
