“All you need is love… Love is all you need.” ~The Beatles Dear Universe, Happy Valentine’s Day! As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day because what’s better than a day that focuses on love? Yes, I know. We should show love every day. We shouldn’t hold back our feelings or emotions. We should tell the ones we love …
Sayonara Summer
“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 …
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. Museums and movies, festivals and fairs, exhibits and excursions. He stopped me before I could finish. “You have a list, don’t you?” I cringed and …
Kensington Gardens
Dear Universe, One of my favorite things about London is walking around. It’s one of the few cities I’ve ever been in where I don’t mind walking for hours. Whether it’s an aimless stroll or a walk with a mission, it doesn’t matter. Long after my feet are sore, I’ll still keep on going. I think it’s because for me …
Blind Date
Dear Universe, About a week ago I walked into the library and saw this simple setup in honor of Valentine’s Day. The neatly wrapped gifts bedazzled with glittery red heart stickers beckoned my attention. Stepping closer, I read the sign. “How about a blind date with a book?” Immediately I loved the idea. What a creative way to inspire someone …
Divine Day
Dear Universe, Sometimes I just want you to give me a little spiritual guidance. A nudge, a wink, a sign, something. Anything to tell me I am moving in the right direction, a clue as to what’s next or a hint to what I should be doing—in case I am missing anything. So, I ask. And usually you deliver. Little …
Bon Voyage
Dear Universe, It’s funny how things you ask for sometimes have a magical way of all working out when you least expect it. I had time off this summer and what I really wanted to do with it was travel. I had other things I wanted to get done and to accomplish, but traveling was on top of the list. …
Spontaneous Spurt
“No matter how many plans you make or how much in control you are, life is always winging it.” ~Carroll Bryant Dear Universe, I’m not exactly the most spontaneous person. I’m not exactly the most rigid, stick-to-my-schedule-need-a-plan-at-all-times person either. I’m a tweeny; I land somewhere between those two. Through the years, I’ve realized the desire to jump up and do …
