To say this photograph is one of my personal favorites would be an understatement.

The blending of the seasons here in Southern New England is natures magic at its best.

In more ways than we could ever give her credit for, nature lays out a way for us to change our perspective for a deeper appreciation of all of the constants in our lives.

Over the years I have developed a pretty good habit of keeping things buried in a place that is pretty quiet.

No worries about any dust collecting on these two rascals!

There really isn’t anything still about fire, right?

Right around this time of the year I am already looking for signs of a seasonal change poking up through the warming soil here in Southern New England.

Does the elephant in the room become more obvious when we are standing in front of a mirror?

Only light can eliminate darkness.

There can be no shadows without light…

What is your emotional canvas going to look like for the year ahead?

Trying to focus in a world of distractions is as impossible as being without thoughts while meditating.

Along with all of the joy and festiveness that I feel at this time of the year, I like to spend time in reflection of my own behaviors.

There is a constant in this life, which is not unique to any of us. With the start of each day there will be a never ending flow of thoughts that enter our minds.

We don’t usually think of our emotions as ingredients, do we?

Every moment in our lives comes with an opportunity to cross paths with an awareness of our surroundings.

With all of our best effort to get it all done, to have more, to do more, we short change ourselves with the most important element of our own survival.

The original condition!

Time is limitless, our time is not!

Life often places obstacles in our way, so much so that it can feel like our momentum to move through it all becomes stuck.
