This has been a nerve wracking day, I’ll tell ya. I woke up with something to celebrate, my brain whirling with ideas, thoughts bouncing off the walls and corridors of my mind and landing smack in the middle of some family dilemmas. But that wasn’t the hard part of the day. Finished my journaling, my […]
First off – don’t let the title scare you – it’s meant to catch your attention. I am fine. I’ve tried to write this post for weeks now. It is important that it be written and read by someone who may need just this at just this time or whenever they happen upon it. – […]
Just about a year ago, I wrote a post on what I would do with a plot of land. I remembered it today in light of what my friend has experienced since her heart surgery. While I’ve posted the link, I’m going to reprint it here. It was titled: Plot of Earth – Do Not […]

It’s easy to discount the exercises listed below – they’re easy, gentle and […]
I came home today, having rushed out of the house for an appointment, and fired up the old computer to see what had happened since I went to sleep at 1:00 a.m. … Ordinarily, every evening I check certain sites because I know the writers post late. Somehow ….(hear those Angel wings softly beating?) I […]
It’s been bugging me, I admit it. For the newbies, I did a series recently, entitled “Between you and me….” I agree it got a little long there. Here’s the confession part: I feel like I dropped the ball in Part 8. It wasn’t what you expected, was it? Now, the odd thing is…my stats […]
I thought we were done when I finished and published Part 8. Then I opened my email and Maureen from Las Vegas, my dear friend, had sent me this and it was the perfect ending. Hope it makes you laugh as much as it did me:
