“The right timing is not always our timing.” ~Joyce Meyer Dear Universe, Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about timing. How things line up in our lives, the people we meet, the opportunities that come our way, are in large part due to us “being in the right place at the right time.” That’s what we say, right? And then …
“When it was dark, you always carried the sun in your hand for me.” ~Sean O’Casey Dear Universe, In just a couple of weeks, it feels as if our entire world has turned upside down. The coronavirus is officially a worldwide pandemic and we are living in times we have never seen before. Every day we are experiencing a new normal—from …
“My yesterdays walk with me.” ~William Golding Dear Universe, I know at some point or another we’ve all heard the saying, “the only time to look back is to see how far you’ve come.” (In fact, I know I’ve written about this very thought on here before!)

This idea keeps coming up in my own life and in conversations …
“Making an effort to be mindful and present is not always enough. Action over effort triumphs each time.” Dear Universe, Last weekend David and I headed to New York City for a quick getaway. While we were there, we would see family and go to the Big East Championship game—which has now become a bit of a tradition. When we …

She was smiling, laughing and that’s when I heard her say this to her friend: “I’m not complaining. I like being alive too much.” I practically fell off my beach chair. What an …
