Transitions of Life

March 12, 2018 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

I try to walk a fairly Spiritual path. I endeavor to be aware of my surroundings, be compassionate with people, spend time in Nature, etc. So when life changes come along, I like to take time and do some reflection on the past and how I got from point A to point B. Spirit can … Continue reading Transitions of Life

My secret love

February 21, 2018February 22, 2018 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

I have a confession to make. I have a secret love. Most people who know me, know of my strong love of the animal kingdom. I usually prefer animals to most people. But I had forgotten one creature who makes my heart ache: the Silverback Gorilla. I read and watched "Gorillas in the Mist". And … Continue reading My secret love

Resistance is…everywhere

January 23, 2018 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

I’m taking a class with my wife called “A life that works”; it’s basically about learning how to take control of your life and figure out why we’re so busy and tired all the time but seem to be getting nowhere. It’s going to be a challenge for me. A big challenge. Much of what … Continue reading Resistance is…everywhere

The Innocence of Believing in Heroes

January 16, 2018May 9, 2024 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

I love my wife. For so many reasons but today it's about a gift she gave me. One that I didn't realize I had lost or even knew how important it was. It is the gift of innocence. I'm not talking about naiveté; I'm talking about that childhood innocence that lets us believe in everything. … Continue reading The Innocence of Believing in Heroes

Being awake in life

January 10, 2018January 16, 2018 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

It's been an interesting few months looking over my life and seeing patterns and places of stuck-ness. Realizing how much my life has made me complacent. I was at a service recently over the holidays and the minister spoke about becoming awake to our own potential and possibilities in life. It was also about being awake to … Continue reading Being awake in life

Depression is a shadow thief

December 22, 2017April 12, 2018 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

I know what depression is from a clinical stand-point and from my parents battling this insidious creature, but I, in my naiveté, thought I was immune from the serious level that my parents lived at. I was wrong. Hugely wrong. When my friend Bill passed away in July of 1997, I was bereft. I had … Continue reading Depression is a shadow thief

November 25, 2016May 9, 2024 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

This time of year is always hard and yet loved by me. Hard because it was this weekend that Dad would haul out the Christmas decorations and the music and we would decorate the house. He loved it so much! I miss that. Loved because it reminds me to take count of the good stuff … Continue reading thanksgiving
