Walking along Memory Lane ...

Taking a stroll down that lovely street, Memory Lane, is guaranteed to bring an array of pictures, feelings, and thought.  And if you're not strolling alone, you can be sure the Lane will magically widen and lengthen in a very Hogwarts-esque manner.


Strolling Memory Lane accompanied, while wonderful, may present some challenges.  Those who can't risk being vulnerable may want to stroll alone.


It's a magical experience.  With each step you are transported to another place and time.


But it is not for the faint of heart.



For some, the challenge comes when you've stepped off of Memory Lane.
You may find yourself standing there unable to move for a just a bit ... back in your neighborhood, yet not ... wondering just how long you will be standing still.

"Do one thing every day that scares you."

A little Karma can go a long way ...

If you've been wandering with me for a while you've read about my friend Natalie ... Nat.

We traveled together for a week just as I was embarking on my sabbatical ... concerned I wouldn't find that inner spark, my soul, again.  (see 1/2008 post: In Search of Me)

You read about her again when I shared how she reminded me to slow my 'Type A' self down and take the time to truly enjoy the sweetness of life.  That sweetness being the company of dear friends and family.  (see 9/2008 post: Being Still Together)

A result of both is I'm now a Type A- (progress!)

Life can, oh too easily, become fast and crazy.
We know it.  We feel it.

There's nothing like a little unexpected kindness to cause us to smile and our bodies/mind to relax a bit.  Regardless of whether we're the receiver or the giver. 
Admit it. 

And now ... with her soulful caring again ... Natalie is providing everyone with a fun way to bolster up the kindness attacks out there in our big, bad world with KarmaTag!
