Dear sis, Hi Karen !!!!! I am finally sitting down to write this blog. So many evenings this week, I would think, “Oh I want to write – I honestly crave writing stories – I love it – and I love to share them with you 🙂 so I would write a little but then I would choose yoga, or a long walk or a bath. I have gotten really good at taking care of me. It is all…
Dear Sis, It is now November and today I was thinking about how it has almost been two years since I started my blog to you. I have published 52 and I still have 21 in “draft” lol I think of stories daily and have experiences that I so want to share with you. I miss you 🙁 Karen, I started that Podcast I mentioned to you in the last blog !!! That is why I have not…
Dear Sis, As you know, Jenna and I are home from Maui. It was an incredible holiday. I always return so full of emotions. But these emotions and feelings all get put into the Vortex – the core central place of everything and anything that has created me. Over the years, I have practiced this. I have analyzed why certain things or people affect me. The more I practiced the more tuned in I became with my feelings. …
Dear Sis, It has been just over two months since Don passed away. I will always miss him. I often find myself talking about him as it brings me so much comfort. When someone dies, you hold onto things, “memories” or a special item that meant something to that person, or to you or to the both of you. Marilyn gave me several pieces of his clothes. Items that he wore and loved. He always dressed…
Dear Sis, Karen, every day I feel so inspired to write to you. Often, when I am very much in the moment, I remember the feeling of us talking, laughing, crying together, gossiping and always knowing, “It’s them, not us.” 🙂 I still have so much sadness – but also joy – when I think about Don. I cannot believe it has been over a month since he left this physical world. His passing was such a shock….
Dear Sis, It has been such a difficult couple of weeks. I can’t believe how much this hurts. I miss Don so much. I know the kids told you that he passed away. I also hope you got to listen to my phone message. I don’t think I told you Karen however the evening I received the news, I had just returned from a beautiful dinner at the top of Whistle mountain. There were moments, that I would…
Dear sis, I want to share a few thoughts and stories about my weekend. It is also Mother’s Day. “Happy Mothers Day to you sis. I know exactly how much you love being a mom.” It was so wonderful, that I got to FaceTime today with you, Samantha and Carter. You looked really good Karen. Your eyes were open. I could see you looking right at me. It was truly amazing !! Kerri arrived early Friday…
Dear sis, I have not written in over a month. Sorry 🙁 please know that I have started at least 9 blogs to you !!! I love feeling this way, an urge that comes over me. I just leave everything I am doing – tonight I was supposed to cut the grass, go for walk/run – but instead I just sat down and started writing. There are always stories surrounding me and in my head. So…
Dear sis, I have to share this story with you, because it makes me laugh. I know you will totally appreciate this “Kathy” story :). It’s a long one, but you need all the details. Last month, just before returning to work, I made a quick trip to Sayulita, MX. A little beach town, that I had visited several times over the last so many years. There is a special vibe there. I like it. Catherine – my…
Dear sis, I am in a place of peace and wholeness. When I say wholeness, I mean that I feel full. Full of love, understanding and appreciation. Trusting, believing and surrendering. The last four months, I was given the gift of time. Time to nurture myself. Time to let all go. Time to relax. Time to create new experiences. Time to always fall in love with whatever made me feel good. The love and support that I…
