Take time for encouragement!

You know what always tells the truth? Nature. A blade of grass can’t lie. The song of the red-winged blackbird is always true. And what I witness in the natural world tells me that good things are happening under the surface. Yes, right here under my nose!

Leap Day, 2024!

Spring is a good name for this season of emergence from winter, because it behaves a little bit like a spring, doesn’t it? The temperature goes way up, hovers for a moment, then dives to an extreme low. The clouds come, then the next thing you know, it’s clear! Perfect time for ice cream! (We’ll use any excuse!)
