Daily I am stretched wide by the joys and sorrows of life. I am a hugger, a leader, a servant, a yogi, a traveler, a hiker, a composter, a friend, a thinker. I am Joy, Joy Cloud!
I can do better AND I am enough. I effort to hold each, in the palm of open hands. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night aware of my clenched fists. I take a moment and release and wonder: Am I fighting with what is, even as I sleep? Perhaps working through what … More Clarity and Clouds in my Bubbly
I wrote a insta post recently – Gray matter, does it matter? To whom? When I am gone, all the crazy wonderful thoughts, ideas, pains and pleasures will be snuffed out. I think I write because, well, shouldn’t all that somehow be downloaded? Like Harry Potter shouldn’t we be able to dip a wand into … More Inhaling Courage – Exhaling Fear
Dear Theresa, Oh Theresa, I am turning 60 years old this year, 2020. The good news is, I feel 30. Such dissonance when I peer into the mirror. I see our mother, more than I see me. I really, really really loved that woman. Such a kind human and an amazing mother. Her upbringing molded a strong needy … More Letter to my younger self:
Day 2: Tuesday, September 24 With 33 hours of no sleep, Hannah slept in and at 10:57 I woke her up with Grandma scratches. Hannah went for a long run, I did yoga on our terrace. My warrior two was possibly the biggest and widest ever, so deep in fact it made me cry. … More Today was Pear-Fect
Monday, September 23 A “Pear-fect” (the Italian way) day and, it’s my birthday! I met Hannah at the airport without any issue. Ahhhhh, we had both been a little nervous about that. Thank god there is only one passenger exit in the Rome airport. We found our little white Fiat 500 and with google paper … More Cloud Vapors
Wednesday, September 18 Had my last lunch at Shakespeare and Co. Read outside for a while, but the breeze was intense today, and the temperature has finally dropped. So, I picked myself up and snuggled in, in a back corner chair of the bookstore.. It felt somewhat ominous today, when I arrived for lunch, all … More Starting to say goodbye
Friday September 13th It’s gonna be a GREAT day! I love Friday the 13th’s! I am lying in bed, hues of gold and green stream in through the open window. I’ve stared at the crisping leaves for so long, that some of the office windows just beyond are starting to light up! There’s a light … More Life – Death, and the Full Moon
Thursday, September 12, 2019 I am loving my morning writing and editing time. I am so absorbed, all else fades away. No one can call me because it’s in the middle of the night for everyone back home. Just me, coffee and stillness, and depending when I start, a dim light comes through the windows. … More Ego, Gravity and Gratitude Merge
Tuesday, September 09 I started my walk to an art store and then onto Shakespeare and Co – but – a side street called my name. My thought; here is a “life whisper” inviting me to something new. And, I am so glad I listened! A whisper to something out of the ordinary, it can … More Life Whispers

I was going to be wending my way to the Eiffel Tower all by myself, preparing to be immersed in a crowd of 2000. Once in the general facility of … More Yoga at the Eiffel Tower
