My last post had me rambling on how I was at peace with my mother’s condition and my words with her that day. Interesting timing of that post given that she passed away later that night in a peaceful and dignified way. I had a feeling that it was going to be the day and that’s why I was so

I’ve been spending every day at hospice to see my mother. Not wanting to miss a moment of time with her, not wanting to have any regrets of “I wish I would have told her this” or “I should have said that” after she’s gone, I’ve been by her side daily telling her I love her and that I know

Ah yes…there you are my fellow Wax Porhetoric readers. I know, I know, I’ve been gone for a while. So so sorry for letting you all down but I’ve got my reasons. Some of them good (dog/cat/house-sitting for a friend and working on getting an old computer to work) and some because I’m just plain human (ie, stressed as hell

So there I was, staring at my vision board and I realized most of the things on there involved either a geographical location or events that depend on geographical locations and it made me wonder how big a role geography plays in our happiness. Let us ponder for a moment. First, how happy are you right now? Now ponder, when

Are you one of those people that lives life and let’s it take you where it wants? Or are you one of those that fight so hard to fit bits of your life into how you envision it should be? No matter how you answer that…let me ask you this…are you happy? Do you think you could be happier if
