“What you seek is seeking you.” ~Rumi
I heard this profound quote this week, and it stopped me in my tracks. It was such a simple statement but made me really wonder, “what am I seeking after all?” What are any of us seeking?
Life moves at such a fast pace these days and things are everchanging. This can inevitably leave us always chasing more than we have. On an everyday basis, many of us seek love, happiness, and joy, but why do these things never seem to add up to enough? Well today, I vow to shift my mindset.
After making this realization, I plan to start seeking more simplicity, quiet time, and peace. Because sometimes what we already have is all we need.
I encourage you to do the same! After all, if what we seek is seeking us, won’t love, good health, and a positive mindset always be enough?
So what is it? What are you seeking?

Teaching Grandchildren How to Choose A Group of Friends
Every child wants to have friends and be part of a group… our Grands are no exception!
As wise women over 50, we should play a role in educating our Grands on the principles of friendship, so they can choose the right friend groups and avoid poor role models. Don’t you agree?
Teaching through storytelling is my manner of imparting an important lesson or message. In fact, I choose to tell a story about an olive tree, using the tree as a symbol and guide of what characteristics to look for in a group.
I’d love to share it with you again today… Read the story!

Since my husband is between jobs, we have been taking advantage of this free time to take some road trips in the Midwest. The month started with a wedding in Ohio, then a couple days in Chicago. Then to a lake in Michigan with 35 friends from Chicago for the 4th. A tradition that started 32 years ago. Just got back from spending a week in the UP of Michigan visiting my in laws also on a lake. We had beautiful weather! We did morning walks around the lake. So lovely and relaxing!
