Life as a Thank You – 7
Dear Marji, I decided to write an old-school note of gratitude each week in 2016. This is your turn. The difficult thing about these notes is they only say words that represent something much deeper than words can ever express. I could write a book about how much you mean to me, but this short…
Life as a Thank you – 6
Dear Susan, I drove home yesterday after a short weekend, but I left so full (as usual). Coming to see you (and your family) is always restorative for me. I decided in 2016 to write an old-school note of thanks each week and I felt this was a great opportunity to send you yours to…

Living Life as a Thank you – 1
TIBBY C. I thought would take this year and send a thank you note each week to someone who I needed to thank. It seems a bit cheesy because there is no way I can express my gratitude adequately but I will give it my best shot! Tibby! Today is your birthday! And it seemed…
The View of Gratitude 2015
This year for my discipline of giving thanks I am posting photos. I am thankful for more than this brief list will allow, and it is in random order, but join with me in the necessary privilege of becoming a more grateful person. ( I will be posting each day on facebook so this will…
Eulogy Virtues in action!
“Sometimes it is hard to be brave”, is what I shared. I usually don’t like to talk about my anxiety or my loneliness; in part because there are so many on the planet who have stuff to really worry about or be sad about. I really try to leave it at the throne, leaning in…
My Spiritual Hall of Fame!
I read a facebook post by one of my friends whose train of thought went from a dog named Koufax to the Baseball Hall of Fame to her own spiritual Hall of Fame. The thought process is interesting. From there, I started wondering who would be in my Spiritual Hall of Fame if I had…
