My 8th day of my first 100 days of Grace

February 7, 2016February 7, 2016 by Karen, posted in Grace, Meditation, my one word

Days 1-4 were amazing. Days 5-7? The Grace was there, but I had to look harder for it. I had to look harder, but it was there. So...Thank you, God. Today is my 8th day of my first 100 days of Grace. As I was getting in the shower today, I was saying my affirmation … Continue reading My 8th day of my first 100 days of Grace

Ho no!

January 2, 2016July 21, 2016 by Karen, posted in my one word, yoga

I got some unwelcome news today that my beloved Holy Yoga (HoYo) Saturday morning class is ending. Moving to Tuesday evenings. When I am at work. My first thought was, OH NO!!! Then the Big Sad descended. I paused. I breathed (it was yoga class, after all). I could still enjoy this class, today. I could still … Continue reading Ho no!

Connection

I was just watching Valerie Bertinelli's new cooking show on the Food Network. It turns out that Karen's Kitchen isn't so different from Valeries's Kitchen. She was making a buffet for a Christmas gathering and it consisted of lasagna, salad, and a favorite Italian cookie from childhood. I realized as I watched that one of … Continue reading Connection

January is coming fast. The past several years I have participated in the My One Word project. In a nutshell, you choose a word that 'will inspire you all year long'. It's sort of like making New Year's Resolutions, but simpler. And harder. It's not too early to start thinking about your word. You may already … Continue reading My one word, 2016 preview

Trying something new

August 8, 2015August 8, 2015 by Karen, posted in Angels, fitness, my one word, yoga

I have not been practicing yoga much these past few weeks, since my yoga teacher (you know who you are!) moved to NC . I drove the road to North Berwick to get to yoga, about a half hour away, over and over and over, and was happy to do it. I wasn't familiar with … Continue reading Trying something new

To boldly go, part one

March 29, 2015March 29, 2015 by Karen, posted in Adult children, family, my one word, teens, Travel

My daughter has been asking to go to Disney since she was about 9 years old. I would always listen to her ask, nod, smile, and say that tried and true line that I'd borrowed from my own mother: "We'll see." I got away with that for, oh, 5 years or so. Five years during … Continue reading To boldly go, part one

Reiki, baby

March 20, 2015March 20, 2015 by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, Meditation, my one word, no fear, Reiki, SoulCollage

I have just completed my Reiki II class and I loved it! Chris Ann from Wells was my teacher. Truly, there is nothing like spending a day with like-minded individuals to make the time fly by. At no point did I even feel the urge to see what time it was. I didn't even think … Continue reading Reiki, baby

A welcoming place

January 18, 2015 by Karen, posted in (it's all about the) food, family, my one word, teens

I had the great pleasure of attending the Bean Tree Open House today with my daughter, Izzy. Their Facebook page describes Bean Tree as "a studio for creativity and growth". Sign me up for that. When we entered the house through (after much discussion) the middle of three doors, we found ourselves in bright, cheerful kitchen. Nancy … Continue reading A welcoming place

New kid in town

January 16, 2015January 16, 2015 by Karen, posted in Angels, local fun, my one word

Maybe you, like me, have wondered about the new signage in front of a house on Rt 1 in Wells, the one that says The LoveLight Center. What's up with that? I saw a flag waving "OPEN" at me yesterday so I took a chance (remember, I'm brave in 2015!) and ran in. I met … Continue reading New kid in town

My one word 2015

December 30, 2014December 30, 2014 by Karen, posted in movies, my one word, NaNoWriMo2014, no fear, quest for the best, The write words at the write time, writing

I have written about My One Word (MOW) in the past. The premise is this: you pick just one word to inspire you all year long. If you are a writer, the appeal of only writing ONE WORD in a writing session is seductive. It is, however, also deceiving. It's harder to choose just one word to … Continue reading My one word 2015
