Hollow Thoughts: What's in a word?
http://unclepetie.blogspot.com/2009/08/whats-in-word.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. What's in a word? What's in a word? What does that mean, anyway? Lots of things are in a word. Words evoke emotions in us and can spur us to action or lull us into inaction. ie: emotions and actions such as love, anger, regret, forgiveness, anxiety, excitement, comfort, sorrow, laughter. A favorite word of mine is "amae". It's a Japanese word (pronounced ah-mah-ay), which means "the expectation to be sweetly and indulgently loved" Is that beautiful or what? What's in a word?

Hollow Thoughts: July 2009
http://unclepetie.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2009. I grew up in California.the greater Los Angeles area to be exact. My family was reasonably well to do, lived in the biggest house in an upscale neighborhood, drove fancy new cars, had the first television and garage door opener in our community. You get the picture. I loved going for those drives! We'd see cows grazing in grassy fields with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. I'm from Los Angeles, remember? Where else would I see a cow? Want to go for a drive? He says. And I grab...

Hollow Thoughts: Stumbling Blocks
http://unclepetie.blogspot.com/2009/08/stumbling-blocks.html
Tuesday, August 25, 2009. A lack of confidence is the heaviest anchor we can put on our creativity." I heard this comment made by one of the judges on "So You Think You Can Dance" this season and thought it was flowing over the brim with wisdom. I think it applies to all of living. A lack of confidence is the heaviest anchor to much of what we experience. Where do I fit into all of this? August 25, 2009 at 11:36 AM. August 25, 2009 at 11:40 AM. Another excellent one, Caryn. It makes me stop and think...

Hollow Thoughts: Focus
http://unclepetie.blogspot.com/2009/09/focus.html
Tuesday, September 8, 2009. In my next life I want to be a camera. Cameras are full of memories. Well, so am I, so that can't be the reason. What is it then? I know. It's because cameras only need to focues on one thing at a time. I know, I know. Prioritize. Take things one at a time. Easy to say. not so easy to do. How do you tell a child, or a friend, or the love of your life.or, yes, even a client who is trying to build foundations under his dreams, to take a number? Very nice post. Just what I ne...

Friday, July 13, 2012. A tsk, tsk, a tasket, and an overflowing basket. He asked me the other day if I ever stopped to think about the things that I have enjoyed that much of the world has never even imagined.will never have a memory of. It was one of those "tsk, tsk, shame on me" times that brought me to my knees. literally. as I began to list a few small pleasures that so many will never know. Here are a few. How many are there who have never:. Toasted a marshmallow over a campfire. I have four gorgeou...

Hollow Thoughts: April 2009
http://unclepetie.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2009. Deep Sighs and Big Slobbery Sobs. I'm generally a pretty upbeat type of gal. It's not my M.O. to get too down for too long. But, I'm making an exception today. Have I mentioned how much my hubby and I love life at the Hollow? Taking deep breath. exhaling slowly. That's something else he's allergic to.mice and rats. His doting uncles, my three sons, bought the boys three pet mice for Christmas. Who knew? Thursday, April 16, 2009. Posies in My Heart. It's a poor substitute to be s...

Hollow Thoughts: February 2009
http://unclepetie.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. My son Cordell, my youngest child, my beautiful baby boy, has hopped a plane and moved his guitar, his laptop and his long board to South Korea. He's left behind his business suits, his books, his beloved DuCati motorcyle, and his family. He preferred his veggies and tofu. I knew I should have grabbed it. So long, sweetie. I'll keep your latest picture on my desk until I hear your footsteps coming up the walk, and see your broad shoulders filling my doorway again. Eenie, Meenie...
