I’ve been a member of an elite club for over a decade. At first we called ourselves the Death Salon and we talked about things like DNR forms and what to do if we became incapacitated. Now 10 years later, we are rethinking what we want the end of our life to be like and we are there for each other in many facets. Call us morbid or bizarre, I believe we have something truly special.

I’m currently recovering from knee surgery. As you can imagine, this has slowed me down quite a bit. Slowing down and appreciating the here and now is something I have been thinking would be beneficial for me, although I did not expect to go about it surgically. Still, as a result, I am finding myself a little more centered in the present moment, and despite the physical limitation, I am finding ways to acknowledge the wow in my now.

For me, there is nothing more to life than a shared table, especially if I can contribute to the offering. I delight in the creation, the finished product, and in sharing it with friends. I even enjoy washing the dishes. I mean really, is there anything more satisfying?

I have a plant hospital dedicated to plants I may have overwatered in my enthusiasm to care for them or plants which my cat, Sid, decided to give an extreme makeover. These are the lessons I learned when I decided to pull the plug on my plant “patients.”

Sundays are usually spent at home getting ready for the week to come. Here is what happened when I decided to do something different, something a little more … action packed. Well, at least my mind went on an adventure. Sometimes my proclivities surprise even me.

When I write I am guided and governed by an inner voice that dictates the landscape I want to create. I am not sure where that voice comes from and it seems to move around in my body and makes its presence know at random times throughout the day. I always feel like I should listen when it calls. I trust it will lead me somewhere I want to be.

I have been struggling of late with recognizing what is mine to face and what is not mine. When I see people I love struggling, I want to swoop in and help them. However, I am learning that it is not always my place and I know I can be a bit overzealous to the point of making their problem all about me. So, it seems I need to make a change and an effort to stay in my lane, so to speak, or to not speak as is the case. I do love silence, but keeping my mouth shut is a different thing all together. I’m also sensing that along with keeping my mouth shut, I need to keep my mind open.

There is nothing quite like a popsicle on a hot summer day. They bring a full spectrum of sensory experiences and remind us to savor the moment (or else get a healthy dose of brain freeze!). What’s your favorite flavor?
