#12 – Love What’s Fun

In my national park travels I journeyed most recently to a somewhat smaller one (about 40 square miles) this time out, the Congaree in South Carolina. I arrived pretty early and one of the first things to catch my eye as I was poking around the visit center was the spider that the park mayContinue reading “#12 – Love What’s Fun”

#12 – Love Everything

I have been keenly aware as of late how precious this life is. A friend of my teenage child took their own life recently and another friend attempted to do the same just a few days following that. My family has seen its share of self-harming behaviors so I am no stranger to the perilsContinue reading “#12 – Love Everything”

#12 – Love Your Work

I have had cats in and out of my life for as long as I can remember. I have never had one long enough for it to die of old age or “natural causes related to old age”. The strangeness of this isn’t entirely lost on me, though I didn’t really think this was strangeContinue reading “#12 – Love Your Work”

#12 – Love the Unknown

I recently began a housesitting job for some folks that have a place outside the city I live in that will last for another month. The property is fairly large and I’m responsible for 13 chickens, a rooster, 3 cats and 7 beehives. I know very little about bees or chickens but I love themContinue reading “#12 – Love the Unknown”

Rest

Rest is not something that’s done but something we aspire to do. Often it’s referred to “In peace”, when we’ve taken our last breath in the physical body our spirit inhabits. It is something that is individual and universal, for we all need to feel its rejuvenative effects. For all the longing we may feelContinue reading “Rest”

#12 – Love the Earth

Back on Earth Day I went to see the new documentary about regenerative farming shown in the image (with a link to the site if you click on it) with the illustrious regenerative farmer renegade Gabe Brown donning a red cape above. This is not, nor hopefully will it be the last, first attempt fromContinue reading “#12 – Love the Earth”

#12 – Love Your Self

I was raised by my father and he had sworn off alcohol due to his father’s addiction to it, unfortunately he became addicted to other things like sugar and fast food. I wonder now looking back if my own journey with alcohol would’ve been different had my father partaken in happy hour’s and backyard beer-b-q’sContinue reading “#12 – Love Your Self”

#12 – Love Your Community

Every year brings new thoughts and inspirations to me and how to engage my community or contribute to its wellness in some way (I’ll credit this to having virtually none as I was growing up) and this year I got to overlapping my ideas with ways that were also FUN so I looked to theContinue reading “#12 – Love Your Community”

#11 – Love the Unknown

For the most part as of late, I awake each day and express my gratitude for another 24 hours affording me the opportunity to love big, share joy and create beauty or some variation of the three, for this triad is my purpose here and also keeps me full to overflowing every moment I breathe.Continue reading “#11 – Love the Unknown”

#11 – Love the Earth

I’m writing this on Valentine’s Day Eve (yep, it’s a thing cuz I want it to be!) and over the last week I’ve been finding the hibernating ladybugs of my area throughout my bedroom (in small quantities). While I have glimpsed one or two in past winters, I never gave them a whole lot ofContinue reading “#11 – Love the Earth”
