Finding your rhythm …

… after becoming overwhelmed. Music and Rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul Plato A beautiful quote – and one that I agree with 100%. However, today’s article isn’t about that kind of rhythm. Today I want to explore the daily rhythm that radiates inside each of us and what happens to it when we become…

What does it mean to Focus?

Focus. Focus (noun) – the state or quality of having or producing a clear visual definition. Focus (verb) – pay particular attention to. Each an ideal definition for me. I have been grabbing at ideas and gasping for air for several months now. Throwing spaghetti at the wall, if you will. Last week was All Hallows Eve, and we took…

Sundays are Simple – the Voice of Truth

You are worthy, allow yourself the time you need to be put back together. You are worthy to listen to the “good voice” telling you a different story. The Voice of Truth is a powerful song and worth a listen! You are worthy because you were born. Oprah Winfrey

Sundays are Simple – Getting back to Basics.

I’m a dreamer, are you? Formulating a plan to allow yourself one day of rest could be as simple as getting back to basics of a good morning routine.

Holidays … Oh, how I love Thanksgiving! This wonderful holiday is…

Our Journey through Music Continues

Amazing Talent – You may not recognize the folks in the above picture, but they were two amazing musical talents that my husband and I not only knew but had the privilege to call our friends. Sheila Raye Charles, daughter of Ray Charles and Mr. Charles Neville, one of the Neville Brothers. We lost Sheila two years ago and Mr….

Continuing our Journey – the next 50 days

While on a path of self-improvement we sometimes must reflect and go back in time before we go forward; as a pause of reflection, not regret. Standing on our back deck I have a moment of clarity and realize my blessing and unique circumstance. You see our deck is the deck my grandfather built (or perhaps had built) some 30…
