Discovering Mindfulness

There is a place at the oceanside where the surf meets the sand. It changes with the tide as the waters come in and then recede. It has always been my favorite part of the beach, that visible ever changing line. I have been waiting for many weeks to get to Tampa on a quickContinue reading “Discovering Mindfulness”

Not Everyone Lives On Their Birth Day

*TRIGGER WARNING* This blog talks about baby death, and violent acts committed against a baby. Also, this post was written on October 5th of 2021 but because of technical difficulties it was never published until today. Do you know where you were last year on October 5th? That happens to be my birthday, so IContinue reading “Not Everyone Lives On Their Birth Day”

A Friend On The Other Side…

I live to garden. It is by far my favorite hobby. I find it utterly satisfing to transform dull and empty spaces into a small oasis for human/animal consumption. That consumption can be in the form of sensory experiences through sight, smell and touch or in the form of literal feeding, herbs for the humansContinue reading “A Friend On The Other Side…”

Short Term Goals

I spoke with both of my doctors, both neuro oncologists, one from Roswell and one from Columbia. They both feel that the tumor is stable and has not grown. They both are still thinking at this time that the tumor is a subependymoma but if it is not a subependymoma then the doctor from ColumbiaContinue reading “Short Term Goals”

Patience is a virtue

Patience. n. the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. I am not patient. At least not in regard to this situation. I am not without upset. I am trying hard to be patient but I am not succeeding. It is funny how in some aspects of ourContinue reading “Patience is a virtue”

Addict

Hello, my name is Amy and I am a sugar addict. I’m not your average person who enjoys treats once in a while. I am the addict type who can never get enough. Who will literally eat sugar until they feel sick and then do it again the next day. I don’t remember when IContinue reading “Addict”

The Worry Tree

Many many years ago I learned to do a meditation involving a tree. The premise of this meditation is that you close your eyes and picture yourself walking down a path until you come upon a tree. This particular tree is big, strong, has deep roots so that it is firmly planted in the earth.Continue reading “The Worry Tree”

For the love of eggs

Last summer I was at my friends home and her husband was engaged in a most unusual activity. He was using tweezers and moving small pieces of leaves around a container. I was immediately intrigued. He explained that he had collected monarch eggs and was now diligently caring for them so that they might hatchContinue reading “For the love of eggs”

Walking on Broken Glass

There is a stretch of land on my husbands family’s property that as you walk you hear a very distinct sound beneath your feet. If you have never experienced this before you might not even notice that you are walking on top of something, but you would be wrong. For many years ago my husbandsContinue reading “Walking on Broken Glass”

Pandemic

I have been wanting to write for weeks, but I have been wordless. Literally wordless. Waking each morning, making my way through the days falling asleep at night, and not feeling like any of it really happened the next morning when I arise and do it all over again. I feel like I am livingContinue reading “Pandemic”
