Today was a gloomy day in Wisconsin. Freezing rain closed the schools and layered ice on everything outside. The branches on the trees looked like icicles suspended in air. The sidewalks and streets appeared to be sheets of glass. The sky was dark at day as of it was night. As an avid telecommute leaderContinue reading “Sunshine in the rain”

Intention
I was pressed into dinner conversation the other night with a new friend in my life. He and I were sitting in a little Thai restaurant on the east side near the college campus. You know the type of restaurant where you can smell ginger and soy when you open your car door a blockContinue reading “Intention”
For Unto You…A Child
Each year when I get a card from this special friend, I am drawn to post in on my blog. I am sure it is a result of fond memories of this friend and the long lasting impact she has had on my heart. This card is an original painting reminding us of theContinue reading “For Unto You…A Child”
Gravel Road
I have been blessed this year on many fronts in my life. While on most days life can be a struggle, celebrating the good things somehow decreases the challenging times. I was selected the Biz Time Milwaukee Health Care Hero of the Year for my work with people living with mental illness in our community.Continue reading “Gravel Road”

Diane shared this song with Josh and me tonight, touching my heart. It was a great holiday and most fun to spend time as a family together.

One more time
The other day a photographer came to interview me for a story they are doing in a local newspaper. I am not exactly a fan of having my picture taken and this photographer must have sensed my anxiousness. He was a really nice man, born and raised in the city. He was chatting me upContinue reading “One more time”
Street lamp
Turn on the television to watch 7 minutes of the local news. Pick up a news paper, scroll the feed and you see it. Turn on the radio, read a tweet and it is there. Listen at the water cooler or in line at Starbucks the chatter fills your ears. It is at the lineContinue reading “Street lamp”
Past, present and future
Traveled to Vermont this weekend to teach at the University. My first time in Vermont yet it felt like home. Being there at the end of Fall seeing the hue of leaves on the trees or as a carpet on the ground was breath-taking. The opportunity to work with graduate school students is always a richContinue reading “Past, present and future”
