Reflecting (once again) on where I’m going as I run and buck through life. I’ve even come up with a manifesto — “Feed the passion. Do the work. Celebrate the journey.”
You can read more about it and see a photo of my Dad’s horse out in the desert at Vision and Verb – “Running and Bucking”
I have a post on Vision and Verb about my greatest beauty asset. Please check it out. It-s been a super-duper rough week at work — a teary, hit my head on my desk week. A “I’ll be working part of the weekend to try and right things” week. Lots of drama. I guess I…
I spent over an hour clearing the driveway this morning. Came in and while I was pouring myself a cup of coffee, the dang snowplow came by and filled the end of the driveway back up again. Since my truck’s gas tank was empty, and I could start working right away if I just sat…
(My beautiful sister and I) I Gotta Be Me I put one foot out As if to step forward Holding out One treasured Piece of self In cupped hands I pray for Sweet welcome Another feather In my boa The other foot Lifts Stands in transition One more Gift pulled From my basket Another day …
The Mississippi River has gotten a bit high, making our usual path by the river impassable. But the high river made for a few good photos and of course, another poem. I bet you can’t wait until poetry month is done! Oh, and on a side note. I have a new camera on order. I…
It reached the low 70s today.Cloudy and muggy but an event just the same. The warm, humid weather has brought out the gnats already. As I rush around after work each day, it seems like there is too much to do and not nearly enough time. I’m sure no one out there can relate to…
I had a hard time being inspired today, which is what makes this daily poem practice a good thing for me to do. Writers all know, even if they don’t like it, that you cannot wait for inspiration to strike before you write. Over and over I’ve been told, you have to sit your butt…

Love your manifesto. That’s the way to live!
Love it! And the photo too. Went to Vision and Verb…you got some great comments and more quotes over there.
Nice of you to surface for a minute. Hope all is well.
Love this image. So perfectly paired with your v&v reflections!
I love your new “manifesto” and the photo…beautiful, makes me want to jump in! Take care hun…haven’t seen you in the flesh for a while…maybe in the fall! : )
Hi Maery Rose, for some weird reason I couldn’t leave a comment on the V&V site, so I came here. First, I really like the photo you posted there – and I like this one here as well, it’s beautiful – and second, especially the last paragraph realle skope to me. It seems many of us are reflecting about where we want to go in life, what is good for us and what should we just let go. Big and difficult decisions.
I love the reflection. It’s a wonderful photograph. I also like the advice to “celebrate the journey.”
Fabulous shot! And with a great motto like that, it doesn’t matter where you are going, the getting there will be the adventure.
