    Ways to Navigate Life Now

    ByMary Crozier March 31, 2020March 31, 2020

    With every dark cloud, there is a silver lining. But in times of crisis you really need to look for it. Lately, I have found that when I pay attention to the small things I have missed in the past, I am in a state of rediscovery. Before I was always running to meetings or…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier March 14, 2020February 20, 2021

    Happy New Year!

    ByMary Crozier December 31, 2019December 31, 2019

    It is hard for me to believe that we are beginning a new decade. It feels like yesterday that we were celebrating the beginning of a new century. The concept of time is so fleeting, isn’t it? In a blink, 20 years has passed. Most “new” years, I am excited for the fresh beginning, the…
