Miracles in the Small Things

December 29, 2018January 8, 2019 / KarenS. / Leave a comment

"Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing." ~ Wayne Dyer The forecast didn't call for snow; we were all amazed when we saw it. It wasn't snowing when I backed in the hospice center drive and it wasn't snowing when we left. Yet, when I went to open the back of the ambulance to … Continue reading Miracles in the Small Things

Packing Life into Boxes

December 28, 2018 / KarenS. / Leave a comment

"Home is where the heart is, even if you can't remember what box you packed it in." ~ Unknown Packing up a life, especially one that has spanned 16 years in the same house, is difficult. I don't have a lot of sentimental attachment to "things" per se. I have memories which I will cherish … Continue reading Packing Life into Boxes

Winter Weddings

December 24, 2018May 24, 2020 / KarenS. / Leave a comment

"Snowflakes are one of winter's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together." ~ Vesta Kelley I have to say, winter weddings are my favorite. I know most people prefer spring or summer, but something about the snow and cold outside and the warmth inside. . . The family … Continue reading Winter Weddings

Blank Slate

December 24, 2018December 25, 2018 / KarenS. / Leave a comment

"My future was a blank slate, and only I could write on it." ~ Carter Quinn I don't know what the future holds. I'm neither a seer or a psychic. I don't read cards, tea leaves or palms. I don't put stock in horoscopes altho they are good for a giggle. Life is a blank … Continue reading Blank Slate

Dreams are limited only by the imagination!

“Feels Like Home”

December 20, 2018December 19, 2018 / KarenS. / Leave a comment

https://youtu.be/Am7EI5tdaX4 Sometimes you need a sign -- something that confirms you're doing the right thing. For me, it was the moment after I was shown a house I am interested in making our home. I was sitting in the driveway, preparing to leave when this song came on the radio. Later that same day, it … Continue reading “Feels Like Home”

Life Changing Decisions — Part 2

December 19, 2018December 19, 2018 / KarenS. / 1 Comment

"Eighty percent of all choices are based on fear. Most people don't choose what they want; they choose what they think is safe." ~ Phil McGraw Life is a gamble at times. The odds may be good, they may be bad or they may be "ever in your favor." Destiny. Fate. Kismet. Serendipity. A month … Continue reading Life Changing Decisions — Part 2

The Stuff of Nightmares

December 11, 2018December 11, 2018 / KarenS. / Leave a comment

"They've promised that dreams can come true -- but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too. ~ Oscar Wilde Dreams can be wonderful. Funny. Romantic. Weird. Delicious, even. And then there are nightmares. Nightmares are dreams too. Nightmares can be dreams of past events remembered. Distorted, piece-meal memories which awaken fear, dread and anxiety. … Continue reading The Stuff of Nightmares

When We Met. . .

December 2, 2018 / KarenS. / Leave a comment

"You had me at hello. . ." - Jerry Maguire Some folks make an impression on you right from the start. For better or worse, your first impression (or sometimes the second or third), you just KNOW they will have an impact in your life. Whether it is attraction or common interests, or even a … Continue reading When We Met. . .

"I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order" - John Burroughs I get it. We're all busy. Rushing here. Going there. Trying to get it all done. Tonight, I took a break. Things have been hectic at my house with the normal routine happenings. But throw … Continue reading The Sensual Life

I’m so thankful for my faith in the One who died for me. I come from a long line of faithful women — Jewish, Methodist, Catholic. Regardless the denomination, the faith in our risen Savior makes life what it is!!
When your 16-week old pup is upset that he can no longer curl up between your legs while you meditate because he’s just too big — should have named him Peter Pan, he doesn’t want to grow up.
When your 15 y/o daughter cooks dinner for the first time (with a little guidance) and knocks it out of the ballpark!!
