Café Cup Full

November 16, 2022 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

Psss... Come 'ere. I'm in a coffee shop, all by my comfortable-lonesome-but-not-lonely. The coffee is freshly pressed with its wispy aroma; and the pie is delish!! I'm celebrating. What, you may ask-- A café cup full of lessons; life experienced and learned. Still leaning into more learning steps of excitable discovery this remaining year going into 2023. Where … [Read more...]

Things Change

October 13, 2022 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

Things change whether we want them to or not. We change. Not just the seasons. Flower petals fall, leaves turn color, the wind even feels different-- In the Fall. We are like the seasons. If things never changed, if we never changed, there would be no growth. Growth is uncomfortable. It can be chilling; diverse. And it can be painful. It calls for … [Read more...]

Who I Am/”Who Am I”?

March 6, 2022 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

Can I use this image? After all, it does coincidentally look like me! But the real me is inside me. As it is in you--who you are--the real you. Your appearance is the outer look. But you're inside. I didn't plan it--I didn't plan this post. Honestly, I didn't! It doesn't matter, because it's not about me. I'm writing for anybody who finds this of … [Read more...]

Beside Myself

September 2, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

I had to leave town. I had to get gone. I had to disembrace. I had to be forgotten. I had to remain small beside myself. I had to be unmemorable. I had to desert to survive. I had to grieve then go on. I had to disembark. I had to finish it. I had to regain, start over; and again, begin. I had to be ok with being misunderstood, hated; not care … [Read more...]

He’s Still My Dad

June 20, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

He was the only dad I ever had. He was funny, our clown at home when he wanted to make us laugh (and smile). He was timeless, always on time, however. He was the most giving person I ever knew (besides myself, and I get that from him)-- He was thoughtful, a deep well with great intentions and a process to carry out all the things that meant everything to him … [Read more...]

These Feet

April 14, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

These feet are mine. They don't have to "march up" or walk to the beat of anybody's drum but to their own, and to me. I am every part of myself, internally and externally. I am connected to these feet, just as I am connected to my own heart and soul--to my mind and spirit. I'm not anybody's twin or a manufactured copy of anything. And I'm certainly as … [Read more...]

Apologies from Heaven

February 6, 2021 By Susan Nuyt Leave a Comment

"I'm sorry that I left you. That I took off and forsook you. I'm sorry that I chose to misunderstand you. I'm sorry for being a butte when it mattered the most not to be. I'm sorry that I never went back to see you again. To tell you that I really missed you. I'm sorry that I let you down. I'm sorry I was unkind. I'm sorry that It seemed like I forgot you. … [Read more...]
