Picture this...the way a driveway glistens after a rainfall, the somewhat random mowing pattern of my neighbor, which created a mosaic on his lawn, or how each bird call outside my window is not so random and done with intention.  I have been noticing the little things in my life this week and each of [...]

Just when I think Spring has arrived, a wave of non-springlike weather arrives,  followed on its heels by a wave of summer/spring weather.  Do I mow, do I not mow, do I mulch, do I not mulch, do I plant those newborn vegetables, etc.?  Such decisions....  Really, it is not so bad and I go [...]

Life is full of ups and downs like the weather, like the sun and the moon.  We have darkness and we have lightness.  The constant line in life is that there are ups and downs and we ride the curves finding a little peace, a little stillness, and a little balance.  These are our moments [...]

A Sacral Humbling Tale   - About 4 weeks ago, I injured and overextended my sacral-illiac joint (SI Joint).  This is the area where the sacrum (5 fused vertebrae sit above the tailbone and below the lumbar spine) and the illium (the back crests of the pelvis) join.
