Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart.- Confucius   No words for today… just following these wise ones…

Suddenly snow… just when you least expect it… actually it wasn’t a surprise, it is March and the weather is always unpredictable. Nature in general is. I don’t want to write much today, my thoughts are more with the people of Japan, and all people who are affected by the earthquake and tsunami. My heart…

Nothing is worth more than this day.- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe It’s been raining for the past 24 hours + here. The rain has been causing a bit of flooding in the fields, and Kettle Creek has overflowed its banks once again. It’s the second time this winter, in fact, that I have seen it…

  We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us – Joseph Campbell   I often am inspired by quotes that I find randomly. If I am having a particularly stuck moment (for whatever reason) flipping through a book or finding…

I am sitting by the window, watching the late afternoon sun and a beautiful blue sky, and thinking about what inspired me today. My thoughts immediately turn to a group of women who have become my friends at work. I call them my Scottish ladies, though one of them is British and an honorary Scot.…
