March In Collaboration
Ahoy March! I am hibernating just like Punxatawny Phil told me to do. He did say six more weeks of winter, so I am like these fishing boats in the historic New Bedford Massachusetts harbor staying safe. I notice they they are huddled up connecting left and right or port to starboard. It almost looks as if they are collaborating or planning their next voyage out to sea! Let’s see what I have been up to and what you can do to connect and collaborate in 2025 to arrive at at your goals with deep purpose. Life is about the Connections we make with people and Grabbing the opportunity to…

Pay it Forward February
Celebrate Random Acts of Kindness and Love It’s February or month two where I am going to talk kindness and love while inspiring you to pay it forward to our fellow humans! These days we tend to think of the month being marked by the holidays within the month. So of course, in February, we think Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day and the occasional leap day. This year I’m going to celebrate February 17,th which is random acts of kindness day according to my friend Mary. This sounds like a holiday I can get behind because it doesn’t cost a thing to be kind or pay it forward. When you…

The Waving Tree
The Search for the Family Tree We returned to the Christmas tree farm we had used two years prior to tag our tree. My children now, men according to age reminded me of the cell phone debacle back then. At some point during our traipsing and traversing, my cell phone fell from my pocket and was lost in a sea of pine needles and baby trees. The tree farm was full of acres of beautiful trees waiting to be chosen. For those of you who feel the barbarism of cutting down a tree in its prime for a few weeks of decoration and celebration, I am sorry we do not…

Acknowledge and Embrace the New Year
Ready About for 2025! Cast the Lines and Let’s Go! Bon Voyage to 2024! The last month of the year is filled with excitement, parties, shopping, food, celebrations, gifts and caroling. While I embrace all these festivities, I try to sneak in a little time of reflection on the past year. In practicing my Uncapsize Perspective, the twelfth motion asks the reader to navigate their path forward to a safe harbor using navigational beacons and the slogan, “red-right-return” To stay in the channel or on the path home. This is what I love best about December, the return home to spend the holidays with family and celebrate the season of…

NOVEMBER NANOWRIMO and DIAS DE LOS MEUERTOS
Thoughts on deck today…for the month of November Here are a bunch of letters put together to form separately an acronym and a phrase. One stands for a movement (NANOWRIMO) the other a holiday to remember those we have lost (DIAS DE LOS MUERTOS) What do they have in common other than letters? Nothing yet. I have always loved the excitement of NANOWRIMO which stands for National November Writing Month or something close to it. The clever founders went one step ahead and used the first two letters for each word to shorten the name of their movement. It has a catchy cadence and with its four-syllable beat and two…

It is scary to BLAHG
IT IS HALLOWEEN and I HAVE a SCARY FEAR OF PUBLISHING THIS BLAHG…or is it just False Expectations Appearing Real? I have learned a few things about myself and my writing process in the last few weeks. Here are three things: One, I do not have a set schedule for writing for better or for worse. It is 5:30pm right now. Two, I am terrified of publishing a blog for all to see. Calling is a Blahg makes it more fun…boat log and happy gratitude’s, BLAHG! Three, I do not like to edit my work on the screen. So back to reason number one, I…

I Proposed!
Yesterday I took a leap of faith and I proposed! To be clear, I sent a book proposal to Hay House. It only took me six months to get it to good enough. Actually, it took me over two years of trying to get it together. I am not sure it is even together, but I had to send it somewhere. Deadlines are good for that. In the big scheme of my Uncapsize Prompt. This was prompt number twelve, return. I had to come back to the harbor and find a place of safety and then hit send. Which is what I did. Then I ate pizza, full gluten pizza.…
