Here’s to Perfect Birthdays!
***Photo by Lorna Tedder — I am amazed that my camera phone came even this close to capturing the colors on the lake at Grayton Beach. There was more reddish-rust color in the middle than shows in the pic, but this picture was taken looking from the wet sand at our feet, into the lake,…

Thematic (vs Traumatic) Years
Are you on the right track? Photo by amanky Have you ever noticed that certain themes emerge in your life each year? For me personally, these themes work themselves out in a 2-year cycle with a new primary year starting around my birthday every year. The first year is usually a reordering of a…

Photo copyright by mikeleary83‘s; Creative common license Is it unethical to ask for a particular relationship with a particular person?

Saturdays Are Made for Cheating
Photo by jouste. I thought this was a very clever Five of Swords tarot reference. On this new eating style of mine, the rule is, I get to cheat once a week. I suppose that’s a bit bizarre but there are two reasons for it: I would rebel too much against a diet that…

The Miracle of Bad Things
Photo by Jonanamary This may be the most radical thing I’ve ever said, even by my own standards, but I caught a glimpse of something that shocked me. Bad things, I saw in that moment of clarity, are miracles in disguise. I’m not talking about death or illness–though I honestly know that they sometimes can…

How to Make It Better
Photo by fdecomite By the end of the first hour at the office, I was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t like it very much. Not that anything was particularly any weightier than usual.
