Glitch in the Matrix
There is a glitch in the Matrix. One that changes the algorithm. It’s causing minds to confuse and emotions to erupt. “You can’t do that,” they say. “It’s not how the program is written. You must follow the program. All will cease if the matrix breaks down.” Change does not compute in computerized minds programmed… Continue reading Glitch in the Matrix

Being Authentic
I normally like to post an inspirational message on Fridays, but today I'm an too much of an emotional state. I don't mean a crying-emotional kind of state. I'm feeling shifting emotions from anticipation, to anxiety, to anger, to melancholy, to excitement. Here in the U.S. of A. we have a big event coming in… Continue reading Being Authentic
Ultra-Sensitive
I published a post last week about how the world is changing. I failed to mention that I am also changing.As a result, my blog’s content might slightly shift. It’ll still be the same, in that I write about philosophical topics, but I’ll likely add new realms of depth. Okay, onto my topic for today.… Continue reading Ultra-Sensitive
The Ten Year Change
Have you ever heard or been asked the question, "Where do you see yourself in ten years? I don't know how to answer that question. I've never set long term plans like that. Maybe I should have. Maybe I would have manifested more dreams in my life. But, that's a topic for another time. For… Continue reading The Ten Year Change
Shift
This new mood I’m experiencing is unexpected. This feeling of being disconnected. It’s difficult to explain, how others seem on a different plane. They go about daily routines, not knowing they’re playing scenes. They aren’t aware there is so much more, and there existence is about to soar. There is talk of this thing. A… Continue reading Shift
Birthday Celebration
During a time long forgotten, when life was still normal and humans didn't have to wear masks, people were able to hold surprise birthday parties.One year ago today, we held an 80th birthday surprise celebration for my mom. The picture above is when she first walked into the room. I can't help but think about… Continue reading Birthday Celebration
Fascinating
Shh, listen. Can you hear that? It sounds like a babbling brook. The nearest creek is six blocks away, yet the trickling sounds like a stream circling the entire house. I follow my ears to find where this is coming from. Out the front door, I find this (above) dripping out of the gutter, but… Continue reading Fascinating
Real Life Magic
On April 30th I walked along the creek near our house, and below is what it looked like. The last day in April, and it seemed like instead of hibernation, plant life had died a permanent death. Where was spring? Would I ever see color again? A couple of days later, I zoomed in on… Continue reading Real Life Magic
Friday Philosophy
My life is like a book - an ever-unfolding story, presenting new adventures and possibilities at each turn of the page. Events and activities continue along building upon the narrative of my life. I am the author of each chapter, writing my story according to the choices I make. When I want to change the… Continue reading Friday Philosophy
Old Scars
We must remember the past, to learn what didn't work so we don't make the same mistakes. But, dwelling on the past or picking at scarred wounds will only recreate the very same scenarios that we were supposed to learn from in the first place. If we learn, grow and change, old scars can turn… Continue reading Old Scars
Family Transitions
My mom has only lived in two places since I was born ... the house I was raised in, and the house she moved to after I left the nest. The second place, a townhouse, was where I visited once or twice a year after I moved to Florida. Even though it was not the… Continue reading Family Transitions
Why I Moved
Many years ago, when my husband and I were still newlyweds, we moved far, far away from family and friends. Those who follow me know we went from the Chicago area, to Florida, but I never shared why. You see, it was becoming more and more difficult to afford the cost of living in Chicago.… Continue reading Why I Moved
The Adjustment
We've been in our new, old hometown for five months now. For those of you who haven't read here before, I call it my new, old hometown, because twenty-seven years ago I moved away from where I grew up. Now I'm back. I slipped right back in as if I never left, right? Wrong. Why… Continue reading The Adjustment
Release, Rest, Replenish
Every autumn, the earth begins its cycle of release rest, and replenishment. Winter is a time for rest. Then comes the rebirth of spring. By summer, flowers are in full bloom. Take cues from nature on nurturing the body. Days include periods of work, play, exercise and relaxation. Prepare for sleep by releasing the events… Continue reading Release, Rest, Replenish

Virelli) I miss your warm embrace And your comforting grace We longed to raise a family with you But our wish never came true Even with that dismay You made us happy anyway You nurtured us year after year Inside your walls we left memories so dear Like Piezon, Max, and Sneakers… Continue reading Old Home
Onward and Upward
When someone in their twenties is just starting out in life, changes and new beginnings are expected. Back then, the changes in my life were great. I left my parents home on my wedding day and within a couple of years moved 1,200 miles away. Moving brought my husband and I independence and better jobs.… Continue reading Onward and Upward
Love Bugs … Literally
I was born and raised in Chicago, so when I moved to Florida (many years ago), I had a lot to learn about this state. From the environment, to the culture, to the chameleons, to the lack of four seasons, and ... the bugs! I wrote a little about this in my post Look, Up… Continue reading Love Bugs … Literally
Recovery and Change
In the future, I may have more lessons to share that I've learned from my husband's injury, but this will probably be the last update on his condition. He is up and walking on his own now ... no walker, but sometimes uses a cane, especially for when he first stands up. He can only… Continue reading Recovery and Change
