I am counting down to my last scribble by reflecting on how this 100 Day Project has changed my life. My children love collecting rocks. They can spend hours admiring and inspecting rock after rock. They would ask me to put them in my pockets and in my bag. When we would get home, I would […]

10 more days left of my 100 scribbles project. The last 100 days has been filled with SO MUCH that I can’t fit it all in one post and so for the next 10 days, I will highlight one thing about this whole experience that has changed my life. Today I want to talk about […]

Today I am grateful. Actually every day I am grateful. I can look back on moments of my life where I struggled to find one thing to be grateful for and now I struggle to find one thing I am not. But today I am especially grateful for my cousins and my parents who looked […]

I did not plan on surfing in the Pacific Ocean on this trip. Or ever really. I am afraid of the ocean. My earliest memory of the ocean is my mom telling me about riptide and scaring the crap out of me. I wasn’t the strongest swimmer so I have had a fear of swimming […]

This morning I headed for the beach to do a morning meditation and my morning pages. (This time I brought a pen.) As I set up my good old mandala blanket, I looked at it from a few steps away. I thought about its repeating patterns. Each individual motif connecting to the identical one beside it. […]
