Today as I sat in meditation, I was surpized to notice my dog absent from his usual perch on the futon bed next to my meditation cushion. I usally refer to it as mat but it’s a large comfy pillow that I originally got when I needed to grieve. […]
Today, I spent the morning watching my plant grow and spent it on the meditation mat. I Had a hard time meditating as it’s been about a three years of full three times a day meditation. I regret not having more practice, but I’ve been meditating daily for […]
When I get published I will celebrate with a dinner and a glass of champagne at my favorite restaurant. I am writing a novel and hope to finish it in eight months. When I write, I tire easily after a paragraph or two and I hope to write […]

Yesterday as I watched my puppy of two years sit in the backyard, I was struck my how handsome he looked. He’s a tiger stripped dog and has white spots, a Brindle I believe or at least in part. I was going to take him on a travel […]
