I am always looking for signs that indicate possibilities. When I imagined a polar bear in a bank of snow across the road, I imagined winter is not done with us yet. The polar bear looked real to me until the sun shifted, and it vanished. Im...

There is an old mantra like this: “Every day in every way…”, and then each person sets a goal at the end of the saying. For me that is being on call for the Cosmos or whatever my Souls assignment may be next. It really makes life interesting...

Now that the sunsets will reach five pm in the next day or so, my nightly ritual of watching for the daylight to increase will ease as I focus on the ever-warming sun, even when the nights still may reach below zero. I find each day to be fi...

Winter will be around for several more weeks, and cold-weather-lovers will find joy as they embrace it. Nature has provided a lot of beautiful scenes as well as snow activities. My intention is to find joy in every day, all year long, that I...

We have finally reached the halfway point in astrological winter. There is an old belief that if the ground hog sees its shadow, winter will continue for six weeks. Regardless of how the weather goes, every day is an opportunity to express g...

Today, I turned the calendar page to February, a month away from meteorological spring. We are two thirds’ there. Tomorrow, Ground hogs Day, we are halfway to astrological spring. Every day, I am grateful to be able to channel heart love fro...

I check the weather forecast each day, the first thing in the morning, to see what time the sun sets. I have been doing this for years, going back to when my wife could drive home from work at five without using her lights. The time has move...

We have a five-foot stone grinding wheel with a hole in the middle balancing on a stone wall in front of our home. The snow creates the image of a large bagel or doughnut waiting for some jelly. It reminds me that when life is bland, we can ...

I chuckled when I noticed that a couple of benches behind our garage were all filled with snow. There was no room to sit. It reminded me that often our minds are so filled with thoughts that there is no opportunity to pause and rest and comm...

With a couple of feet of new snow, the best approach for me is to take my time making a path to the car. When I was younger, I would just dive into things without thinking ahead. I hope I have learned to set my intentions that what I am atte...

FINDING COMFORT. I like to be comfortable, and I wear an extra layer or two when the weather is freezing outside. I also like comfort food, but now have some food allergies, so my choices are limited. I also like to have a comfortable mind, ...

It’s been a few years since we have had a snowstorm measuring over a foot. We have been watching the weather report as we followed it across the country. It seems as though people spend a good part of their lives waiting for big ones, both p...

Most people love to tell stories, especially as they get older, reminiscing about the “good old days”. Then there are story tellers who have a point to their stories to help others look at a situation from a different view without engaging them...

Several times a day I find myself with a smile on my face caused by something that crossed my mind. It could be from the past, the present, or a thought of someone else. When you are smiling and others feel the positive energy behind your sm...

When we first arrived in the valley, we used to drive a road that gave us a breathtaking view of the majestic mountains to the west. We built our home where we had that view. Now, sixty years later, the majestic mountains are still there, ev...

With the recent cold weather our thoughts focused on the memory of the joy of eating fresh baked bread. I used to make it before I became allergic to gluten. Now that there is gluten free flour, it was time to try again. The results were not...

At just the right time, when the sun is coming up, it creates an alpine glow that can spotlight a single mountain. Sometimes people who are not used to being in the spotlight are noticed by others for something either positive or negative. T...

Winter has returned and the snow is adding up again one inch at a time, with a dusting or more each day instead of a big storm. Life changes the same way, a little bit at a time. It all adds up. We can make progress or we can regress if we a...

The new coating of white snow has freshened up the landscape. It reminds me of a term called “whitewashing”, when white paint is used to cover up surface flaws to create a fresh clean feeling. People often try to whitewash their lives so oth...

Years ago I saw a commercial on television advertising a cereal that adults may have eaten as a child. The message was, “discovering it again for the first time.” It stuck in my head, reminding me that we can discover life again for the firs...

A lot of snow has melted the last few days. We have reached the half-way point to meteorological spring, and now winter is starting over again. In life we can start all over again every day to keep us in tune with our soul’s purpose, even if...

The recent January thaw inspired me to start getting my legs in shape for the warmer weather of spring. I began with a simple walk of fifty laps around the house. Usually, it is people that inspire me with their positive acts of kindness. In...

The last few days have been warmer and foggy. It got me thinking about brain fog, a condition sometimes brought about by conflicting information gathering in our minds. Trust in your invisible team to help clear away the fog.

Now that we are halfway through January and daylight has reached 4:30 PM. I am realizing Ground Hog Day is less than three weeks away. It was the morning shadows I saw out the window that caused me to think about shadows and fear for what hi...

I have been enjoying the last few days of a January thaw. I can even see where the snow has melted off a pile of rocks, something I will really focus on as spring nears. My goal each morning is to find something in the day to enjoy regardles...
