and the pursuit of being more wise, loving, present, and in a state of grateful flow in life!The Voice and Your Blue Elephant
Joan of Arc heard them. I hear them. I hear them if I'm listening. I'm not sure what part of me they are, but similar to my belief that God is part of me, we [...]
Karma and Her citizens
I was 'speaking' with a friend via email, as so many of us do these days, actual dialogue, with intonations, breaths and audible sighs a faded memory in some cases. A travesty to a trained [...]
Your Opus?
The plural of opus, is opera. I just learned that today. I would have thought it was Opi....but what do I know!? One of my favorite films is 'Mr. Holland's Opus'. A man, (Richard Dreyfuss), [...]
What’s missing…
I start my day off with a cup of fresh brewed coffee.....I love the smell, the taste, the heat, the ritual and how the pot makes that inviting gurgle sound I know so well, the [...]
Oh yeeeeees you can, you can do it!
I'm inspired by brilliance, creativity, talent, heart, openness, honesty.... which often takes uncanny courage....the kind where you REALLY take a look in the mirror, where you work to love yourself despite all the silly stuff [...]
A Sad and Beautiful World
I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio), on my way back from a killer Bikram Yoga class which I travel all the way to Alpharetta for, (I drive nearly an hour to be tortured). [...]

The Scary Monster
The Scary Monster When I was a little girl, when everyone still called me, 'Barbie Sue', I believed in scary monsters. They lived in my basement, (which if you read my earlier post, I was [...]
Sartre…Satie and questions for the Universe
I’m waxing a bit poetic this late evening. You may want to play Erik Satie’s music below while reading. And in that it's probably morning time for you, you may consider reading and listening with [...]
Alan Rickman and Daniel Day Lewis
Alan Rickman's portrayal of Colonel Brandon in Jane Austin's 'Sense and Sensibility' is legendary. His absolute affection and devotion to young and naive Marianne, (played by Kate Winslet), is heart wrenching, especially as he watches [...]
Awwww…..no one will see the back.
When I was 11 and 12, (ugh....with absolutely NO breasts, skinny as a green bean), in preparation for school, my OH so patient mother would painstakingly help put hot curlers in my hair to make [...]
And then, from the OTHER side…
I'm thinking about how different something, an object, person, story or experience can look when you move around it to a slightly different angle. Black can become white or well, really any shade under [...]
