Dad’s Words to Me

In the last year of my father’s life, it was necessary for him to have minor surgeries every few months. He rolled with these and recovered each time, able to enjoy the year with my mother in their new community where she was beginning to receive assisted living support.

Winter Stirrings

Last January, I shared with you my intention to set goals for the year with a bit less structure, allowing my vision to guide me in a more intuitive fashion, with an emphasis on flexibility.  The winter that followed was full of stirrings and events that underscored the intention I had set.  I had a calm feeling, however, that the stirrings would somehow move me forward.  I didn’t know what they meant – just that a shift was occurring.
