It seemed like a simple question, but the more I pondered it the more I recognized it was rewriting how I told my story. For years, I've said, "I think I chose to be here" and in a recent conversation with a friend, I turned it around and said, "What if we all chose to … Continue reading What if We Chose to Be Here?

My hiking pole bent nearly ninety degrees and I almost went down when a young man from Turkey grabbed my arm and saved me from landing in the mud. Such is the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Whether it be the thousands of … Continue reading Magic on the Camino
Today is the quintessential first day of spring. Not the calendar month or the day with the highest temperature, the first day of the season. It is no longer winter.

Bob finished up his degree and I still had a few years before I would finish my vet degree, so he decided to stick … Continue reading Just Say No — Chapter 3
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a piece on signs and premonitions and I wondered what I was supposed to be paying attention to.

I also stated that they were … Continue reading Signs and Premonitions — Two
Signs have always played an important role in my life. Several years ago, I had a series of things happen all at once. I had a special coffee mug that was given to me as a gift. In addition to that it was the right size and shape. I love having my own mug. It … Continue reading Signs and Premonitions
