Inspirational tools to create life balance in your everyday. The giving tree – finding everyday balance. Today as I drove into the grocery store parking lot, I passed a woman holding a clean white sign. In large black writing, the sign read, Single mom. Need help. Hard times.

As Ruby and I drove away, she asked again, Who was that mommy? Spending time with childr...

Inspirational tools to create life balance in your everyday. So much of our time now. Is spent gazing towards you. Whispers of your birth down a phone line. And it feels like the silence. Waiting for you to sound. As if hiding in an eggshell. With only the sound of our breath. Until you shake, kick, hiccup. And a smile erupts. From my mother or father or sister. New acquaintance or friend. 8220;I felt it! 8221; they sing. And you connect for the first time. That you will gaze at. In under nine short weeks.

Inspirational tools to create life balance in your everyday. The day awakes like any other. The tide leans slow and lazy. Quiet clouds whisp by. And my bare feet against. The bounce in her step. And the billow of a topaz skirt. Catches it’s edge on a new petal. The layers peel off. With grey beards of dust. Emerge from their cave at the back of the closet. And suddenly nature turns up the dimmer. On our evening meals which. Look out over wild blue waves. And strange white doves. Hang lanky and pale from.

Inspirational tools to create life balance in your everyday. The air caves out a space in my chest. And it feels so soft and so loud. My eyes full and tired. Emotions are as wild as a windy day. Emotions like these don’t sit down. They rush from heartbreak to happy to memory to still. Our family lost someone. We thought couldn’t be lost. Grandpa, it is easiest to remember you. As I last saw you, so graceful. Your smile as radiant as I’d ever seen it. As you met my baby daughter for the first time. 3:22 p...

Inspirational tools to create life balance in your everyday. Welcoming spontaneous generosity – december 2009.

I think we were all a little bit pink in the cheeks from spying over the fence and surprised...
