Moment of Reflection ...


The past few months have been ones of reflection and loss for my family and I. We are living a new way of life. One without a husband, son and brother. It has been two months, at times it feels like two days, other times - two years. Still unsure of how we have braved these months. Actually, I do know - From the love of wonderful family and friends. I am not usually this candid, but I wanted to be honest with all of you. This is where I have been. Some days keeping busy, but breaking down either in the early mornings or late evenings. Some days, the tears come without warning. I feel we are all healing, but in different ways. I write daily, as my therapy. I also visit the pond down the street (a pondering thought with the photo above) when I can. This is where I ask the harder questions. Hoping for answers I will never receive but I am hopeful. Life continues for all of us, carrying him with us each day ...

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
