Lee’s Love Notes
Rocky’s Gifts
I first met Rocky, a two year old pup, after he found his forever home. The two young children in his new family, six and seven at the time, were quite excited to introduce Rocky to me and I certainly loved meeting him! He was a beautiful white boxer, full of personality! Although after that...
Thunder’s Mom
It was one of those beautiful days when everything just seems to flow perfectly! My husband and I had just officiated a renewal of vows ceremony at Disney and were still flying high from the energy! Now we were looking forward to the drive home as we always love the peace of a long car ride. We...
Dear God, It’s about Hurricane Florence…
Dear God, It’s Me Again, Lee. This time it’s about Hurricane Florence. Hurricanes really seem to be on my mind these past few days! As you know, I have been thinking about Hurricane Irma and have been telling you how grateful I am that we got through it with minimal damage! And now just a year...
Letting Go of Keshet
The last time I saw Keshet was the Saturday afternoon after Thanksgiving. She stood up on her hind legs with her paws at the windowsill. Somehow she parted the open blinds even more than they were open and put her head there, looking out of the window. She was so excited about seeing something!...
Dear God, It’s Me Again, Lee
Dear God, It’s Me Again, Lee What can I say except Thank You! With Boca Raton no longer being in the cone of Hurricane Irma we are handling the torrential rains and winds just fine! Okay, the tornadoes last night were a surprise! Each time the alert with the warning sound would come through it put...
Dear God, It’s Me, Lee
Dear God, It’s me, Lee. I know You still remember how you protected my family during Hurricane Andrew in Miami. The four blocks around our condo in Miami had no damage. Everywhere else was devastation… And then there were those two major hurricanes 11 and 12 years ago. What were their names?...
Goodbye to My Piano
I said goodbye to my piano today. I felt somewhat empty after it was taken which is understandable. We have been together for many years…. My husband and I bought the piano when we were a newly married couple of two years and had just moved into our home. We were young and without a lot of...
Radiating Peace with Children
So much excitement about the Solar Eclipse! I still remember the solar eclipse in 1979! But this time I will be doing something I didn’t do back then, well at least consciously that is… My husband and I will be joining hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of people around the globe who...
My Teacher is a Cat
Anyone who has ever heard my cat, Keshet Star, express herself knows she can be quite vocal! Under her tutelage (she prefers I learn through the trial and error method) I have pretty much figured out what most of her sounds mean such as: "I like my water fresh!" "When you sit down to eat that...
Handing Over Worries
While I was out of town recently, an adorable 11 year old took care of my cat, Keshet Star. She was so thrilled with the gift I brought her, "Worry Dolls!" We read the instructions together which say to tell each doll a worry and then put them under your pillow. The next morning the worries...
Changing A Stupid Story!
It was during a gathering that Karen (name changed) excitedly told me she had another story to tell me. She began by saying, "Even my husband said, you have to tell Lee, you have to tell Lee!" I laughed understanding that it was one of 'those stories' having to do with the Workings of the...
Love To A Bully
Recently the local public schools participated in "Pink Shirt Day" to stand up to bullying. I loved seeing all the "pink shirts" as the children arrived for our weekly afternoon Hebrew School! I explained to the children that the color pink also represents unconditional Love. As is our ritual...
My Healing Partner Is A Cat
It took me some time before I understood why my cat, Keshet came into my life. She first showed up at my door the summer of 2014, Aug. 5th to be exact and began taking the necessary steps to adopt me! The last time I had cats was over 25 years ago, so you could say I was a newbie. Keshet made...
