This year, my thoughts are focused simply on You: I am thankful for YOU. “YOU” ….that glorious word that encompasses all of us. You are the smile of the stranger that greets me in the grocery store. You are the greeting at Starbucks that says “Have a great day!!!” You are the devoted person striving [...]
The following has been lovingly gifted to us by my friend, Steve-Garnaas Holmes: Be grateful for the love that surrounds you, and for the opportunities you have to love. Be mindful of your place in this world, and your connection to people you care about. Never doubt that you are loved, though those who love you [...]
Thankfulness – Gratitude – Appreciation 3 words that shape lives. We use them frequently during this Christmas/Holiday season: “Thanks for the gift”, “I appreciate your help”, “I am grateful for your presence here tonight”. These words and ways of “being” are exceptional tools for creating a “Come to the Edge Today” life, so how [...]

It is also a wonderful reflection I use during the busy [...]
Today’s lunch began with typical lunch questions: How much time do I have? What to eat? Where to go? Little did I know that this lunch would be a “Come to the Edge Today” lesson in how to live! I decided on a salad (the default of choice) from the local grocery store; upon entering [...]
I just came in from walking the dog – it is a perfect Fall evening. The temperature is crisp, the sky is clear so I can see the stars; the smell of Fall is breathtaking! I found myself stopping in the middle of the driveway and breathed deeply (about 10 times) intending to catch every smell I could [...]
‘The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club’ We are made to grow! Our cells and our soul were created to expand. The very core of our being calls us to “Come to the Edge Today”!
