Again Seeker
On March 27, this year, I wrote about following my passions under the again {Re}tro. I was struggling with the idea and the meme: Follow your passion. I always feel as though these words are off kilter. That skew something that I cannot put my finger on. And then this morning, I read a Harvard…

I have to admire an author who pens words like this: Wearing better pants has become my favorite spiritual discipline. Emily P. Freeman, The Next Right Thing Reading The Next Right Thing: A Simple, Soulful Practice for Making Life Decisions has been joy-filled for me. Especially when I can put what I’m learning into practice.…

To remind is a sort of jogging or nudging of one’s memory by association or similarity. This morning I read this great article about wise quotes and remind me it did. The one that got my goat was the one: He who angers you controls you. (See what I did there?) The saying supposedly originates…

It’s Friday night, again. And here Keck and I sit on the couch vegging out to whatever’s on our television watch list. This week we took up opting out of television for most nights. We were going for Monday through Thursday but we didn’t quite make it. One of Keck’s favorite shows is the History…

But, I really think we should respect the weather. Grab some gloves and a scarf, people. This kind of weather puts a skip in your step. And apparently…

I don’t think I’ll ever forget the first time I heard this word. I was talking to a man named Kim from Denmark, a country that knows what deep dark at 5 p.m. really looks like in winter. It was the timbre of his voice, the whispered sanctity of the word. Hygge doesn’t exist in…

I’m cranky today. I had to take a steroid pill to see if it would help me with a case of dizziness from my allergies. It only served to upset my stomach and interrupt my sleep last night. Today I baked a cake, made four frozen meals. Going to bed now just seems like a…

We waited all day on the dirt to come. Cancelled plans to taste a friend’s BBQ pop up and hear his talented son sing. In the early summer we had to have a drain installed to manage the water that was building up around our foundation. It was our trip to Alaska. Each repairperson I…
