It’s Time
May 11th, 2015 
LeeAnn Those of you who know me, know the changes that I have initiated in my life during the past several years. This blog was an incredible voice for me during that process. Through intense self inquiry, much of it documented on this blog, I realized that I was not happy. And I was tired of […]
Finding the Humor
December 27th, 2012 LeeAnn Lately, I have been making an effort to notice the humor in my every day life. Sometimes it is a little more obvious than other times. Someone asked me if I staged this picture. All of you who have cats can laugh with me about that idea. Other times, finding the humor is a […]
How Did I Not Know?
June 18th, 2012 LeeAnn About a week and a half ago, we brought home the newest members of our family – two little Maine Coon brothers. I named the orange/red kitten Baron after Snoopy’s Red Baron.

Well, imagine our bulldog, Gracie, saying it in the exact same way. I think that is about how she feels. Mosby and Baron have arrived home. My mom and I […]

Goodbye My Sweet Oprah
May 8th, 2012 LeeAnn Last night we lost our beloved Oprah, our fourteen year old cat. Oprah has been included in this blog several times, including in A Very Timely Ode to Oprah. Oprah was with me longer than any animal in my lifetime; she will always be one of my special favorites. She had an amazing sense of humor; […]
A Weekend of Wild Animals
April 22nd, 2012 LeeAnn I thought this was going to be a quiet and uneventful weekend. Life has been crazy lately and my husband and I were looking forward to having two days of unscheduled time. As it started, the weekend went according to plans. Friday night was a quiet night in with a healthy dinner and a glass of […]
A True Love Story
April 11th, 2012 LeeAnn If I look back over the last eleven years, I see the consistency and presence of truly one of the most significant connections of my life. It involves a love so intense that it is at times painful. It involves a partnership in which the partners communicate without speaking. It involves an incredible loyalty and devotion […]
Meet Matilda
February 28th, 2012 LeeAnn Matilda is a female Eclectus Parrot who co-habitats with my parents. Given the status of animals in my family, I guess that makes her my sister. The Eclectus is native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands. One of the many characteristics that I like about this type of parrot […]
