Have a Happy New Year as you Swing into the New Year!  “Every moment is a fresh beginning.” —T.S. Eliot

Live what is. Befriend that. Feel the fullness of our lives. Quiet. Reflective. Care. Love.

Ordinary milestones of life . . . changes but landing on the ground of our reality. How do I want to live and how do we want to live together? Remaking our world. Who will we be to each other? How will I be to the people around me and in my life? Live what is each day.

Nov 25, 2020 by Eileen Adler

November 25 – Happy Thanksgiving! On this usually festive holiday, many of us will find ourselves unable to travel, staying close to home to stay safe. May we all be safe no matter where we are.

Perspective is looking at the world through someone else’s eyes. The important word is thanksgiving – we are giving thanks for the goodness in our lives – but there are those moments!! What is hidden below the surface? Don't get furious, get curious.
