When the weather is tropical and everywhere you look you see green, life starts to feel like an epic poem written by Mother Nature. There’s so much happening around us with things growing and water puddling and smells that define a season - flowers, bar-b-q and chlorine. I know how fortunate I am to have … Continue reading Poems, prayers and promises

J is for…
J is for... June and what an unexpectedly fantastic month it turned out to be. Joy and the way it comes back into your life when you let go of what’s been taking it’s place for far too long. Jarred by how hard it is to get your feet back under yourself after learning … Continue reading J is for…

You know, that spring weekend when it … Continue reading Seneca 7
