Nature doesn’t hurry along, spending endless amounts of energy wishing that time would either pass faster or move slower. Nature doesn’t anticipate the blossom, it simply exists in the moment and is content with the natural order that it is. Catching myself anticipating the day that the sunflower will burst into yellow goodness, I realized [...]

A Summer Semester

My first summer college semester is nearing its end. It is the first time I actually took a college class IN the classroom, as my college career thus far has been strictly online.

In a state of pissiness at how fast the summer is going, I felt the need to sit down and find some attitude of gratitude for what summer has brought to me. 1. Twice in the last week my girl texted me that she misses me. 2. My youngest boy is happy and full of [...]

Being that I am an early riser I have found that for me it is the early mornings where I find space for the thoughts to align with my heart. In the quiet hours before the house is alive with activities, chores, homework and chatter I can ask those questions of myself that often get [...]

Summer vacation. The time of year when the pace of life slows. The mornings are quieter and the afternoons are longer. The rush of evening madness is diminished to lazy dinners and sunset walks. The daily hikes that alternate between vigorous mountain side climbs to easy canyon strolls. The sound of bird song. The peacefulness [...]

Maybe it is the multiple workouts that my body endured, the joy [...]
