“One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.” ~Henry David Thoreau Dear Universe, It’s hard to believe summer is coming to an end. But it’s true! The proof is all around me! The sun is setting earlier. The temperature is dipping lower and lower at night. And yesterday I saw parents moving their kids …
Miraculous Moments
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ~Albert Einstein Dear Universe, Yesterday I started a 21 day meditation challenge. What I like about this is that I have back up.

List-less
Dear Universe, About a week and half ago I was catching up with a friend of mine here. He asked what my plans were while I was in London. I started rattling off different possibilities.

“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?” ~Ernest Hemingway Dear Universe, Having time off for the holidays has been great for several reasons.
