Monday Meanderings #32

Happy Monday, and the last Monday in October! It appears the only consistent day I can blog is Mondays. I keep thinking I should do more and then before I know it, the week is gone. Last week was nothing more than a blur. I'm not sure I took the time to take a breath, …

Monday Meanderings #21

Happy Monday, as we say goodbye to June. This year is half gone! And it's hot outside on this side of the equator. It's been another busy week. When I look back, it's all a blur. I strive to stay in a state of mindfulness, but the rush of life sometimes takes over and I …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #18

Hello, friends! I'm happy to be back with another catch-up post. Summer is always busy for me as the schedules are all askew. That's a great word, isn't it? Anyway, I'm happy you've joined me! I never know exactly what I'm going to say when I sit down to write these posts. Don't you just …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #17

Hello, friends. I'm happy to be back with a new post this week and have lots to share. So grab a second cup of coffee or tea and settle in. 🙂 Just kidding. I won't bore you with endless details. I could almost hear the water trickling over the rocks when I found this image. …

Monday Meanderings #16

Greetings, friends. I am astounded by how fast time is going. My mom always said the older you get, the faster it goes, and I am experiencing that as a profound bit of truth. School is about to be out for all the kiddos, so there will be lots of final events happening this month. …

Monday Meanderings #15

Hello, everyone in blog land. April is sliding past us very rapidly and soon it will be full on summer. I'm sharing this photo I took when I had the incredible opportunity to attend a writer's conference in Ireland two years ago. It was a wonderful path to meander down. This past week has been …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS LUCKY #13

Hello, friends. April is starting out to be true to its reputation. We've had several days of rain and the trees are super happy! It's been another week of ups and downs. But that's life, right? This will be my last meandering for a while, as I go in for surgery next Monday. I will …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #6

Happy Monday, Friends. I don't have a clever lead-in to this post, so I'll just jump in. It's been a strange week for me. I had several days where I struggled to find the motivation to do anything beyond what was absolutely necessary. I made very little headway on my WIP and only made it …

And here lately, many of us are dealing with some intense storms. I hope this quote helps. The meditation I want to share today is …
