Have an exceptional week!

“..let your compassion go beyond the boundaries of human need to encompass other creatures, too...Become conversant with the notion that there really is a majestic web of life and that all members of it hold their own lives dear."
Victoria Moran, "Creating a Charmed Life"
Happy Earth Day. I read an article this week on how researchers are discovering that many more creatures are sentient than previously thought. (link in comments) Another reason to treat all living things with kindness. Have a beautiful week.

“Be brave and go on an adventure."

Some people view every day as an adventure. To others, adventure is a step---or a leap--- outside of the norm. Whatever your definition, do or plan an adventure this week.
Have a great week!
"I haven't a clue as to how my story will end. But that's alright. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars?" Unknown
May your road be full of discoveries. Have a nice week.
"Reflection...looking back so the view looking forward is clearer."

Like many people, I spend some time reflecting in December. I go through my planner, emails. notes, photos. Every day has little moments, ideas, or connections that may influence bigger things down the road.
So long to 2023. Have a good week, all.

What have you sown this year? What's coming to fruition?
"The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better."
Barbra Pletcher
Not all outcomes are easily achieved. Every moment, situation is given to us on purpose. A change of perspective or openness to new possibilities can help us grow and reach the finish line faster.
Have a great end of September.

Be good to yourself, and level up. Have a wonderful week.
Walking season is starting. If the temp is above freezing and the dew point below 62, I usually take Olive for a walk at Durand Eastman on Saturday mornings. This Saturday there were clear blue skies, hardly a breeze, and temps just under 40, so we were off to enjoy.
Thanks to the strong, steady winds of the past few weeks there were lots of twigs scattered about and few loose leaves left to cover the trail. The trees were stark, and bushes and vines were bare. Only the bones were left. I got the sense that winter stripped and cleared everything in preparation for the new energy of the year.
It struck me that winter did the same to me. I’ve been clearing and honing—with still more to do—knowing that there will be changes this year. I’m trying to get to the basics, to what I want to do, what feeds my spirit, unencumbered by extraneous stuff and distractions and things that have run their course. My “theme word” that I chose in January for 2023 is “create.”
I bring myself back to the word every day and create something that furthers my goals. I’ve streamlined this website by updating and consolidating my photography page (click on the Art section :-) ) I’m preparing inventory to sell online here and, hopefully, a couple of shows by the end of the year. I’ll be writing more blog posts on food and wine and other things important to me. I’m releasing fears and worries and inviting in good and abundance.
What would your theme word be? Does it connect with your goals for the year? Is there something, no matter how small, that you can do each day to honor the word and move forward?
Wishing you spring growth and a bountiful result.
“Your focus amplifies anything. So make sure you focus on what you're building, not what you're leaving behind."
Jamie Varon
Risks can be scary. When at a crossroad, I ask myself whether I'll be wondering "What if...?" a decade later. If your gut instinct draws you to a risk, it's a growth opportunity. We have one life to climb our Mt. Everests. Do it.

“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are." Unknown
