Yeah Nordstrom!
In the spirit of honoring businesses who treat women properly, I will send a shout out to this company for a commercial just on showing two women who are average sized, shopping. They are both beautiful, and they are not stick figures! Thank-you Nordstrom! We should all be treated with respect ! You are making a ripple!
Walking around with your eyes closed
After a great night's sleep, it occurs to me that it is very essential for a person to get away from all the minutia of their daily lives. As much as I consider myself an observer, I find that just being in nature for a few days has changed me. As you can tell, I don't get away much. I guess my point is that we get stuck very easily in our daily routines. Everything gets dull, and we don't even know it. We need to give ourselves the opportunity to re-tune, re-explore, re-invent. Little things like the sound of a stream, the texture of thousands of trees on a mountain, an eagle high in it's nest and yes, most of all, the silence wake us up! Catboy is ecstatic I am home. I am, too, and my eyes are wide open. Make a ripple, find your wonder, see what happens.

Three things I have learned in 72 hours
I have to say, I have missed you. Even though it has only been a day and a half, the connection I feel with you has a life of it's own. So I am glad to be back! I did, however get to experience beautiful land, wonderful mountains and rivers, including the Missouri River. I also got to experience the strong bonds between a mother and daughters who have been separated for about 9 months. When you have been separated due to certain circumstances, the love and affection that has always been there has gone to sleep, but wakes up quickly! I am tired, but I am back and all the better for it! I am renewed and feeling joyful for the experience. Make a ripple, get away, if you can, see what happens. See you tomorrow morning!

Take time to smell the fresh air.
We all need time to take a deep breath. Hopefully, it can be in a beautiful location away from where we spend most of our time. I am getting a short period to spend time in nature and am taking it. The computer, despite complaining profusely has to stay home with the house sitter. ;( There will be no post tomorrow and the one on Sunday will be later in the day. Like I said a short trip. Breathe, take care of yourselves, and I will talk to you on Sunday evening. Do not forget I have written 240 posts, so you can catch up on some of the ones you have missed! Make a ripple, see what happens.

Find your own road
What are you passionate about? What makes you want to jump out of bed each day? If you are drawing a blank, it is time to reconnoiter. Every one has a path. Some choose to ignore that path and do what is expected of them. The problem with this is that you find yourself, years later wondering what the "L" you are doing and where the dreams went. The good news is that your road never goes away and even if it takes a street sweeper and dump truck, you can find it again. Some of us just take longer than other's to find out where our true joy lies. Make a ripple, excavate, see what happens.
