Thought for Today
Most of my thinking happens on a yellow legal pad. I am thankful for those yellow legal pads that help bring my thoughts to life!
Thankful To Be Grateful
Sunday began November and the season of Thanksgiving. I love this time of year – the falling leaves, the cooler temperatures, big pots of warm soup, and the flannel sheets back on my bed. I also like the idea of being intentional about giving thanks, but, it’s confession time, I don’t really like the Thanksgiving holiday. It always seems like way too much work resulting in way too much food for way too little enjoyment. By the time we…
Alone With Me
Today was just the day I needed! It was gray and rainy. Not cold, but that’s okay. And, I got to stay at home all day! For most of the day I could hear the falling rain, its rhythm somewhat irregular but comforting nonetheless. I was up early, made breakfast for Weber, wrote my morning pages, shared a few texts with friends, and then went back to bed for an hour. The weather encouraged it. My calendar allowed it. And,…

I am definitely one of…

Time, invisible Yet touching everything. It leaves a deep scar. KEB 10-07-15

Unlike the plants and animals who know that they need fall and winter to rest and rejuvenate, I was unaware that my spirit was longing for that time. I have been doing other creative things, including other types of writing, but in the past few weeks, I have been hit…
39/365-3 Pink
“Believe in Pink” “I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” – Audrey Hepburn
7/365-3 Solitude
“Circles of Quiet” I am an only child. Only children, at least those few that I have known, are content with solitude for the most part. When I was little, I remember spending countless hours creating with my Spirograph, often when there were no neighborhood kids around with whom to play. Its possibilities were endless, always a new design. In all those hours, I bet I never even came close to creating the same design twice. It was like magic…
