Bob Schieffer, host of Face the Nation, the show I don’t watch that follows the one I do, Sunday Morning, called this the ‘week from hell and back’ for out nation. “Yes,” I thought, “another reminder that the universe is so much bigger, so much more complex, than my own little world here on the farm.

Today I have discovered there are two ways of being in present time: 1. Confused about what to do, stops and starts, going around in circles, questioning, over-thinking or being too flustered to think straight. (That was my morning) 2. Taking action, one step at a time; moving forward; completing one cycle and then starting […]

Unlucky 13? It’s 5:15 PM and I just remembered that I am supposed to write a post. (I made a commitment.) It’s not so late, but I have a date with my husband planned at 5:30, so I am going to go live in that moment, not this one. Today’s lesson: The art of juggling requires […]

dancing in the sunlight Children only know how to live in the now. The have a hard time waiting for anything because all they know is NOW. They are quick to forgive and forget because now is all that matters. They don’t understand hurry. It is all about what is happening right now. They don’t […]
