Rise Up!

Posted on September 24, 2020December 30, 2021 By Walks with Strays No Comments on Rise Up!
Rise Up!

I’ve decided to stop starting my day with a news commentary and instead turn on my dance playlist, while I jog. As I continued to feel anger, discontent, anxiety, again I had to get back to basics. Listening to my playlist, instead of the news, was my first step. These are other thoughts I had….

Pandemic: The woman next door

Pandemic: The woman next door

During this 2020 pandemic, I’ve been home. I’ve spent the majority of my time on my back porch, with my new rescue dog, Zelda. I smiled every time my neighbor came outside, yelling at Leo to go potty. Her sass, her love of that tiny yappy dog gave me a chuckle. Every time their neighbor’s…

Going with the flow can be a beautiful thing!

I’ve written about my rescue dog, Zelda. How sad I was when I discovered her fear of the leash, among other things. Some of the ramblings were my prior dog (Sweeper) ran with me, It was a partnership, there was mutual joy . . . and on and on it went. I would imagine we…

Creativity – what a gift

Creativity – what a gift

It’s so easy to get caught up in worrying thoughts so that the next thing you know you are drowning in despair with darkness swirling around. It is subtle and sneaks up on you. It’s easy to do these days. Sure, feelings come and go. But sometimes I forget the “go” part. It’s important to…

Rescue Dog: It IS what it IS

Rescue Dog: It IS what it IS

My dog was recovering from being spayed. Because of some of her issues, especially not knowing how to be walked yet, we needed to keep her contained in a small room for 12 days.  What the heck, I joined her.  She has pretty bad separation anxiety so I hunkered down next to her and set up…

Friday Musings

I thought I was going to do something amazing. I had so many dreams, ideas, passions . . . then life happened. Some of the dreams were created and some fell by the wayside. Sometimes I look around and I observe an old friend making a dream a reality. I remember the disappointment. What if. I…

Comparing Robs Us

Comparing Robs Us

Things will be going along. There is contentment, a type of surrendering peace, purpose, happiness and then one day we pause. Maybe we look at the smiles of the other couple too long . . . . Next thing you know, we are putting our relationship under a microscope, looking at every tiny and perceived…

Releasing Shame

Releasing Shame

I have talked often about focusing on what we want, shifting perspective, focusing on all that is good in our life! I have talked often about when we are in the dumps, changing our perspective can be as easy as snapping our finger. I have talked often about how we can get into a rut,…
