    Views from the Inside Out

    From a different perspective, life can look amazing. Even when it isn’t. Strive to make life feel amazing ~ unworried about how it looks.

  • Views change things

    In my Word Weavers meeting this morning, I shared my last blog entry that epitomizes the view from here being different from inside and outside oneself. After I shared the blog post, they asked where it was posted and I told them the title of my blog. The View From Here. One woman commented “that’s…

  • Shine so brightly others need shades!

    Shine so brightly others need shades!

    I’ve been exchanging some texts today with a colleague that has become friend as well. Her daughter worked with my company, under my direction for a short period after college. All of us in the office found her to be genuinely sweet, along with highly organized, skilled in developing tools and an all-around rockstar at…

  • Well said…

    Lately, I’ve not had the inspiration, nor energy to blog much. It’s been months running that I was either overly tired, in denial about depression, sick or just flat disconnected from my life. You see, a couple years ago I lost my longest term inner circle. I could go into the intricacies of those intertwined…

    Reason Number 12

    Featured Image Credit: Photo by mohamed Abdelgaffar from Pexels Recently, I have been getting to know some wonderful ladies through a church small group. For several years all the small groups were ‘families in [this town]’ or ‘newly married couples in [that town] and ‘moms of toddlers’ and I just did not fit into any of them. Finally,…

  • God doesn’t do billboards….

    …..despite the fact that time and time and time again I plead “Lord, I’m not hearing you. Please just write me a billboard.” Usually, I beg for answers because I am terrible at making decisions. Or hate making them or I just hate the time spent thinking or worrying about it? But decisions are a…

  • Glimpses of kindness

    So, I’m on this hiking trail and meet a doctor and a lawyer…. there’s a joke in there somewhere, isn’t there? There just has to be! What if I add that I meet said doctor and attorney from my little spot on the ground where I’d just rolled my ankle and sat, stunned and helpless?…

  • High Attitude

    High Attitude

    ThE view :  top of Gunner’s View ski run on Snowmass Mountain. A long, sweeping, interactive ski run built for speed AND curves. It’s my favorite. My body hates high altitude, hates it. This old temple tries to seek vengeance on me for subjecting it to the horrors of thin, dry air. Gastro issues, headaches,…

  • Capacity

    Little did I know when I embarked on the OneWord journey, I would also have daily words. I don’t think that’s the intent, but they keep coming to me as I’ve lived most of the last year in a somewhat numb state. Just last week in the gym, capacity kept coming to mind. It came…

  • OneWord for 2019

    When I decided to venture into the OneWord community, it wasn’t with a lot of forethought and mulling. Sometimes, a gal needs to mull but this wasn’t one of those times. The entire 4th quarter (and a little of the 3rd) of this year stunk a little and this project was just what I needed…
