Energy flowing, A gradual blossoming from youth thru maturity. Like this flower, our path through life develops more blossoms as we progress. While the first blooms are indeed beautiful, how much more so is the full flower that has been given time to fully develop. True, a few petals may be missing or a…

Denying my want, Emotional explosion, I cannot obtain. How many times do we just want to explode? To totally cut loose, free our emotions, shout our feelings out to the world….to stuff our faces with cupcakes and satisfy our inner feelings! Our doctors, our waistlines and society in general would be horrified. We are supposed…

Your name meant “Pure Gold” Your love was worth a fortune, My heart is in debt. Almost everyone knew you as “Zippy”. Few knew that your actual name was “Ibriiz”… even fewer knew that you were a National Specialty winner, and a Best in Field winner and a defender of human children against a Ridgeback…

A fleeting blossom, Unconcerned about Fate’s Wheel, Direct and lovely. How often the worries of life madly spin us around. Jobs, money, status, all of these things preoccupy us to the point where it becomes difficult to see clearly.

That fleeting moment when the jaw relaxes, the shoulders drop and the eyes soften. It seems that those moments are so rare and precious in our busy lives that often times we…

A single blossom Surrounded yet set apart Self-companionship. Our society does not seem to value the ability to be alone. We are constantly inundated with the idea that we must always be with someone, either romantically, socially or even in the workplace. That being alone is a negative state that should be avoided whenever possible.…

Small leaves reaching out New sprout from unlikely place Growth makes a difference. Sometimes we grow in unexpected ways. Do we really know what are our strengths and weaknesses? Should we be expected to know everything about ourselves or are we allowed to be surprised when we discover that we’ve grown and changed…

Twisted up tightly, Unsure and out of my element Unrecognizable. It is disconcerting to discover that you hide to protect yourself. We sometimes find ourselves in situations where we just do not feel like a “fit”. It might be social situations, it could be work, hopefully it isn’t at home. The realization that the people…
