Sit With Ease

“The only thing that ever sat

its way to success

was a hen.”

~ Sarah Brown

Godspeed, Dear Mother

In the early morning hours my mother, Marian, peacefully slipped away to spend eternity in the Church Triumphant. She lived a humble life, focusing on simple things. She liked John Wayne movies, Louis L’Armour books, Willie Nelson’s braids, and Johnny Cash music. From her backyard swing, she’d feed wandering squirrels, ambitious chipmunks, and hungry birds. Purple irises and pink hollyhocks lined the wooden fence every Spring. With a youthful spirit, she loved board games, playing cards, and walking on wooden stilts. Her favorite fragrance was “Tabu” perfume and she wore it as long as I can remember. She was everything you love about life. Godspeed. I love you, Mom. 💕🍃🌸

Balance Your Life

oneself on a bicycle.”

Notice the Bumblebee

“The happiness of the bee

Exercise the Art of Patience

The Brightness of Sunshine

you do not stop.”

Give Peace a Chance
