Humanity begins at home.

What We Understand
On a global, macro level, we understand the concept of trying to remain healthy. We understand that healthy diets and exercise help to keep arteries from clogging, blood pressure stable, and help us to feel good in general. Not eating too many burgers, drinking plenty of water, drinking alcohol in moderation, and keeping regular sleeping habits help as well. We all know the good stuff to do, and we are, generally, pretty successful.

How She Wants to be Loved
Dancing at my brother’s wedding, tipsy after a glass of champagne, the lights drawing patterns around us and the speakers blaring Dancing Queen, we were all alone on the dance floor, surrounded by a semi-circle of onlooking guests. I told my mum: “I’ll regret this in the morning!”

Enjoy your life today……COVID-19
Life is beautiful, life is uncertain, life is an adventure, life is a gift. So be a person who enjoys every day, every minute, or every second. Why I'm saying this because in the past year I learned something is that your family & friends are so important to you & Every second is so meaningful with them. You need to focus and remember that the day you are currently living will only happen once in your entire life, so you need to make the most of it. It's all about mindset, how you focus on life. We people always assume that we need to make extreme changes to our life, habits, routines, and bank balance to be happy and to enjoy our everyday life. But trust me that is not the case. Usually, we already have everything to enjoy your present day. It's just up to you what's important for you today.

The life I want and don't want
Because of my daughter's school, I returned to live in the old city, which is also some days. And because the family home has been relatively old, so the people living in the courtyard are all kinds of people, mostly renters and older people. Every day in the city of the old city shuttle in and out, there is so a person, caught my attention.

Getaway
This year for Mother's Day I decided that I just wanted to get away from the stress that I deal with every day. I am spending a week at my son's trailer in the woods. I had no deal what to pack for the trip. See I live in Florida. You may think this is a problem.

And I, Like Her
The cool air of the pre-sunrise morning. I’d forgotten what it was like, how sweet and crisp it felt. I’ve been up with the sunrise here in Houston, but never outside for it. This air is where I truly thrive, the calm before the rest of the world wakes up. As cool as it is, this is still May in Houston, TX. I can smell the humidity and coming heat.

The Maple Grove
When winter meets spring late in March, as the snow melts and stems push through the ground, trying to reach the sky, the sap of the sugar maple begins to run. The tears of happiness seep from the woken trees. A sign that they have survived, the long sleep of the frozen landscape. This is the time that our harvest begins from the forest.

The Feminine Essence
The goddess within all of us as women has been greatly misunderstood for centuries. The nurturing and flowing state of a women is the physical form of beauty coming to life. Within this essence women’s souls combine as one to guide all women archetypes into a peaceful and joyous flock of beauty. Not yet a mother of children myself but always in gratitude for those that came before me. I stand strong knowing that all the females of one’s lineage have done the best they could to emerge from the shadows. They worked to be seen, heard, respected as they hold wisdom that heals. For myself – the relationship with the mother has been one of many trials. First being the journey to seeing the feminine within me – healing the emotions that are carried from generation to generation. I once looked upon my mom as a child seeing a woman of strength and resilience. She was a hero in a human suit. My mother was a loan parent, the provider, the caretaker. The individual that my life had depended on – the one I depended on to teach me the ins and outs of life. Though looking back there were times of pain, insecurity, fear – I began to overcome and forgive all that the mother had not provided me knowing that she gave all that she was able to give.

My Heroes Have Always Been Mother's,
I have quite a few heroes, there are the ones' I was blessed by being born into their lives, some I have met along my journey, and some were the blessings I gave birth to. I will focus on the ones who are Mother's, since this is the energy that ultimately made me the woman I am today. I would not possess the strength to overcome the things I have gone through if it weren't for every one of these women. I am grateful to each for each and every one of them.

Everything Is going to be okay
my mother woke from my bedside my lips blue as the ocean my skin as white as snow my breathes shallow like a puddle two years old and I looked like death

What Grandma Knew...
I am lucky enough to be getting older, officially in my “late 50’s”. And in this last year of retrospect (I had lots of time on my hands), I’ve thought of some of the things I’ve experienced. When I say I’m lucky to be getting older, I mean it. I really should have died on several occasions, but for providence, I did not. So here I sit, relatively intact, typing out some of the lessons that I have connected to my grandmother. Things I didn’t understand until now.

Meeting the new school child
As parents, we deliver our children to school with trembling hearts. It's like letting all barriers fall and still being on guard at all times. We want them to be accepted both by the community and not least by the community's teachers and educators in power. We want them to keep up and become skilled or at least as competent as possible for them. In addition, we hand over the child with the experience we made ourselves as a child in school. It is not always that we manage to separate the experiences we got in school from our children's experiences. Therefore, our way of meeting the school will depend on what knowledge we have gained and what we expect from the new our children must meet.
