the oyster understanding

Oysters weren’t really in my head today, until I wished a two year old “Happy Birthday” on Facebook. Ellie was sitting atop a table as if she were in charge with a firm handle on her two year old life. “Congratulations!” I told Ellie. “The world is your oyster.” For someone so young, with soContinue reading “the oyster understanding”

What Stories are you Telling about your Life?

What story seeds are you planting? We are all telling a story about our health, our finances, our relationships…What story will you tell? Will it be one that is heroic and empowering?

When was the last time you had a good laugh?
