Uplifting Thoughts

March 30, 2016 by Gina Marie

I’m determined to remain teachable . . . 1) For an entirely new perspective, look up. See what beauty might be found aloft.  2) Be the beacon of light that shines in the darkness, in the chaos, in the ever-changing kaleidoscope of seasons and locations. 3) Each molecule is infused with the infinite.  4) Speak your truth, even if your voice shakes.  5) When day turns to night and the temperatures drop, there is beauty yet to be found. 6) Dare […]

Beautiful Thoughts

March 26, 2016 by Gina Marie

The wisdom of others teaches us how  . . . 1) We each have a human body that lasts a hundred years if we are lucky. Every moment, every interaction, every day we are given the opportunity to learn from each other. The most difficult situations can be our greatest teachers. 2) Companionship is present in our lives in many forms. We are never truly alone.   3) The sight of the sky is a reminder of freedom, expansiveness, and possibility.   […]

Boston: A Love Note

November 17, 2015 by Gina Marie

The architecture was what struck me the most: miles of Back Bay brownstones, Victorians lining the Emerald Necklace park system that sprawled along Commonwealth Avenue into the heart of the city. Boston changed forms with the seasons: glistening in the wintertime with continuous nor’easters, pink with flowering trees in the springtime, green and quiet in the summer when students had gone home, bustling and colorful in autumn when they returned in September. I was one of them for a time. I had come to the city to […]

Farewell to a Wooded Wonderland

May 30, 2015 by Gina Marie

Four years ago, Philadelphia beckoned. With its historic streets, ample museums, and plethora of restaurants, there was never any reason to be bored.  What surprised me the most, though, was the vast geographic area the city took up (135 square miles, to be precise). Living in the northwest corner of the city, my husband Jeff and I often cruised a stretch of road called Lincoln Drive, which passed underneath a deeply forested area that reminded us of Jurassic Park. I […]

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2015 by Gina Marie

Welcome, 2015. As I type this, I’m sitting at my favorite neighborhood coffee shop, sipping on a Cold Buster tea concoction (1 bag of peppermint tea, 1 bag of chamomile, 1/2 hot water, 1/2 steamed lemonade, 2 teaspoons of honey and a shot of peppermint syrup for good measure). The past week has seen me sicker than I can remember having been since childhood. It came over me like a bat out of hell on Saturday afternoon, forcing me to […]
