ABOUT THIS SITE
We all know life can be confusing and overwhelming at times. There are so many things to rivet the attention; we are like children at the amusement park, so excited to see the fun rides, concession stands and cartoon characters that we run from one to the next without absorbing the essence of each thing as it is experienced. Things move fast. We move fast. Life becomes a blur of one event, one relationship, one milestone after another. We take pictures to document it all, write about it in journals if we are so inclined, talk about it incessantly, and go to bed at night thinking about what has happened, what is about to happen, what we wish would happen, and what we fervently hope does not happen.
What does all this mean? I have far more questions than answers. This forum is dedicated not to finding answers necessarily, but to enhancing life by letting go of the need to know, by living in the mystery of it all, by just paying attention, making observations, and feeling gratitude for the lives we have been given. There is, I think, a good deal of joy inherent in that.
And some puzzle pieces do fall together occasionally, mysteriously, and usually when you least expect it. I think it happens naturally when we are able to get out of our own way, so to speak. Our daily lives are so chock full of magic and mystery and miracles cleverly wrapped in ordinary, everyday packaging. Are we paying attention to that? My Life Notes pages are dedicated to cultivating a mindful, attentive approach to my own life, to sorting through my own puzzle pieces, and if it helps you in any way to do the same with yours, wonderful! I would 
absolutely love it if you would share some of your own Life Notes in my Guestbook or leave comments on my Life Notes pages.
I offer some book recommendations in Good Reads , some great links in Web Travel that I hope you will try, and I have also included information on any Projects I am working on. Also, check out the 60 second inspirational videos on the One Minute Shift page and the additional Videos.
Thanks for visiting!
