The Peaceful Side of the Smokies

Since early Spring, I have been walking the trail that surrounds Townsend and flanks Hwy 321 to the Smoky Mountains. I go once a week or so, parking at Apple Valley and strolling to Mountain Ave, just shy of Tremont Lodge & Resort. Read more...

The Year of the Water Tiger- 2022

Hello, dear blog friends! I have missed you and feel the need to get you caught up with all the happenings. Chances are you have much to relate as well, for 2022, the Chinese Year of the Water Tiger, was a busy year for many of us. If you are reading this, you made it through, perhaps with a few bruises, shattered emotions, or even physical scars. I know my own being has been through the wringer. Knowing other folks were likely suffering helped me sustain solidarity. Read more...

Thiel #19

Thiel- You are loved. Indeed you are love itself. Indeed that is really all there is, is love where we are on this plane. It is the “air” we breathe and the “food” we eat.

The Ultimate Fear

When my dad went to Vietnam in 1967, he took out a one million dollar insurance policy in case he didn't make it home. I was 4 years old. From that moment, I can remember our family talking about death and dying. As we grew in years and understanding, death and what we wanted to happen to our body was regular dinner conversation. It wasn't brought up every night, but enough times that we knew we could bring it up and it would not seem strange. I thought everyone did this. Read more...

Thriving in These Times

Humans are amazingly resilient. When we have access to full information, we figure things out pretty quickly. Some of this info is not readily available to those who are not looking deeper into the media story.
