“Our relationship with our Mother is birthed simultaneously with our entry into the world. We take our first breath of life and display the initial dependent, human longing for protection and love in her presence. We are as one in the womb and on the birthing table. This woman, our mother…all that she is and is not…has given us life. Our connection with her in this instant and from this point forward carries with it tremendous psychological weight for our lifelong well-being.” Karyl McBride, Ph, D.

We came to Clearwater Florida to see my parent’s friends, John & Sue. It had been about 20 years since I saw them last and I’m hopeful I can connect with as many people as possible on our adventures.

We spent 2 weeks in Clearwater and enjoyed their biking trails and time with John & Sue. They are so generous and kind. They were always a bright spot in my childhood and they continue to shine love on everyone they encounter. They are just that kind of people.

I love horses and there was a gray Quarterhorse mare in the field and lo and behold, what did we see with her? Is that really a young buck?!

It truly was!
