We Love

I awaken bereft of your presence in the middle of the night Your warmth no longer beside me Fruitless efforts to sleep anew from your absence A sudden brief chill as the cover lifts Your body settles next to mine Your arm embraces me Pulling me closer Your breath warms my neck I love you wafts...

Intentions Follow Up

I have been writing lately about the importance of intentions. It's not only important to think of intentions but to focus on happiness and joy in the moment. Not a future moment that you will be happy in when this happens or that happens...be happy now! Find your joy now! I had a stack of bills to... Sign in to see full entry.

Amazing Intentions!

It is simply amazing the amount of new ideas that keep coming to me as a result of changing my focus. I don't just changed my goal orientation to intention but I also change my whole thought process.

New Year Intentions...

Yes my new year intentions not goals. Goals keep you from feeling a sense of accomplishment until they are completed.
