Laying your foundation
Life is all about choices, and making the wrong ones can lead you down some pretty rough paths. But is it fair to call any less than desirable choice “wrong”? Should we instead just describe it as a decision that takes us on a learning curve, where we listen patiently, nod our heads, and ultimately [...]

Finding the good, not the answers
As you go through life there will surely be times when the path is unclear. You’ll become overwhelmed and confused, and go on what feels like a manhunt for answers. And when on that hunt it’s always nice to find what you’re looking for quickly — But what happens when you don’t? What do you [...]

Her Finish Line
I can picture myself in the hospital room with her.
I can picture her sitting there, looking a bit drained as she thinks about the road she’s had to travel on to get to this moment, but also with a smile on her face, as this chapter in her life is nearing its end. She projects [...]

The Thriving Artist
Pain is a very troublesome emotion to feel. It can kick you when you’re down and leave you begging to be let back up. But pain is also a feeling that a specific group of people in this world can appreciate when it becomes tangled up in their work. It marries itself to their craft, [...]

A New Routine
Today my routine shifted.
Today I did not wake up in my own bed. I did not get ready in my own bathroom. I did not feed my cats, I did not let my dog out. I did not meet my neighbor at six fifty-five to drive to the train station. I did not stop at [...]

Thoughts at a Park
Too many people bury their heads in cell phones nowadays, and miss out on the natural beauty surrounding them.
Many don’t walk with confidence; it’s sad to think we’ve become a society of insecurities. Walk with your head up, already! Be proud of who you are.
If I could rewind the clock and go back to playing [...]

Walking in Memphis
I forgot quite how much I loved this song until today. It usually pops up when I put iTunes on shuffle, but lately I’ve been selecting individual artists and putting them on shuffle, so Marc’s taken a backseat. But today, here he is! And what a great version this is; it’s from Join the Parade [...]

Rise Above the Ceiling
At one time or another we’ve all felt trapped under the grates. The light is dim, the air is thick, and you think your chances of escaping are slim to none. But then you begin your journey upward, and those feelings start to lessen. The sun returns to your view, you start to breathe easy [...]

A Line in the Sand
When does the line in the sand get drawn differentiating what we need from what we want? Physically, emotionally, and mentally. Should that be something we just know; something we just feel? Do some of us even need the line? If so, do we at least get a discount on the stick?
It would be nice [...]

Transform Your Legacy
Watching the recent Farrah Fawcett footage has made me think quite a bit about legacies. What do you want to be remembered for? Maybe it’s for being a good mother, a good son, a good cook, a good neighbor. Whatever yours may be, be sure not to miss your train — We only get one [...]
