It is not often when we have a plain old rainy day, especially in between seasons, as we did recently. My thoughts went back to my childhood and what we did to keep ourselves occupied. The same is st…

My intention every day is to look for moments when I can experience heart felt gratitude. Those moments may be a second, a minute, or longer. Having done this for a while, when something is negative,…

I know a lot of people enjoy feeding squirrels along with the birds, but we do not like them climbing the house to get to the food. Red pepper in the seed will help discourage them. All of us often h…

I have been waiting now for three months to say we have reached the last day of winter. The lambs of March seem to be winning the battle, and, for the time being, warm weather is winning out. I love …

With all the craziness that is going on in the world right now, I have found it very beneficial to approach life with a sense of humor. I try to find something that I can focus on that helps me throu…

Spring has just not been the same this year with several false starts; now that maple sap season has begun, the trees on our land, for some reason, were not tapped this year, something I always look …

My goal each day is to celebrate something I am grateful for. Today it is the warm sun I feel on my face in March. It brings a smile to my lips and creates a song in my heart. I wonder how many peopl…

Have you noticed how confused the world currently is? Perhaps you feel a little confused about your thoughts. Actually, the Covid effect is being experience by a good part of the world and also in na…

A few years ago I purchased just the frame of a small storage building from a local hardware store. I put it behind the Center to remind me of my intention to build something bigger. That something i…

 A scrap of food on the floor in the shape of a heart has the same love power to me as a giant heart shape in the sky. Little actions of positivity have the same power as big actions. Our intentions …
