Liminal Space – that Space Between
Well, friends — here we are — together inside a capsule of LIMINAL SPACE. What am I talking about? I’m glad you asked and the teacher of language arts in me jumps up, excited to give you the answer. Let me break it down for you. “Liminality” defined by Wikipedia, is the “quality of ambiguity…

REDUNDANCY. “3-Pronged” & “Triad”. Yes. I know. And using redundancy in naming this entry is quite intentional. Why? Because, truly, it takes being redundant moment by moment, day after day, week after week, to establish habits and to eventually see results in WHATEVER IT IS I choose and you choose to tackle.

Read MoreCoffee Talk: My Journey – “The Decision”
I’VE HESITATED, hemmed, hawed, backpedaled and have had inner debates with Joe, (my cuppa), as to whether or not to discuss this with you.

Overwhelmed. Yep. That’s me right now. So many changes – happening all at once. Some good, some not so good, some neutral. Let’s see, perhaps I should list them. Oh, not for your benefit, but for mine so that I can see a little snapshot of what I am attempting to navigate: I am now…

“I wish I lived, ‘BACK THEN’ “, my youngest daughter often blurts. “BACK THEN?”, I reply with a little “Are you calling me OLD?!?” in my voice. What she means, exactly, is that life seemed to be simpler, sweeter, less technical/digital. And she is right, of course! I’m really glad she notices the difference. As…
