The wonderful world of support and connection.
I have several things on my mind and in my heart this evening. I am working on becoming a better receiver. No, not football, that just doesn’t capture my interest and certainly not my heart. I get a little embarrassed when I am complemented and a bit awkward when someone wants to pay for something [...]
I most always have a song in my head. I'm not good at dreaming up tunes, though lyrics come easily to me. I remember times in my life through songs. Bonnie Raitt was my 'on the road music' in the 90s. When I hear a Bonnie Raitt song I think of my little red touring [...]
When I was a kid, maybe 9 or 10...my pal, and cohort in adventure and all things fun, the rosy cheeked Ann Murray and I would play house, (along with all manner of games). But 'house' was fun. We would pretend we ruled the roost, and not our moms. Now, I am told by an [...]
Words are throwing themselves at me these last few days. I'm listening more lately. It's good. Sometimes to others, (not always), but to the quiet voices that enter my head IF I take the time to notice. There's the rub! So, compassion....Com... passion....maybe it's a beckoning...a call for passion, toward loving-ness. (I can make up [...]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbWXL6WLIJM&hl=en&fs=1&] I'm playing with words tonight. They can be such imposters, such posers, sneaky little devils! Ever have a thought in your head and a word just appears....KAPOW!! You may not be completely familiar with its meaning, might not use it frequently, though there it is...as fragrant as lemon zest....but watch out....it might portend more [...]
Well, an interesting day to report indeed.....a lack of sleep, brings new light to areas within ourselves, (I find), that might need SPECIAL attention. Soooo how might I begin this blogging report. Isn't it interesting how one day you have the tiger by the tail, and the next, well damn if he isn't biting your [...]
In talking with a close and very dear friend of mine today, who is quietly, (always her way....God she inspires me), quietly battling cancer, I was drawn to a sentence I read in a new book I'm reading about spirit guides....(I read a broad range of material). 'Our healing lies with the choices we make [...]
Isn't this speeeeeecial. I think so! But hey, how come newscasters always have that 'voice' and bizzare inflection thingy goin on? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIADQaL1x-M&hl=en&fs=1&] And did you know there is an organization which support acts of kindness? With a mission, (and I'm quoting here), 'to decrease world SUCK.' www.actsofkindness.org Pretty song too! I'm all for it!! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcHDJjE65dI&hl=en&fs=1&] [...]
Well okay....I promised a treatise on love and "would you really want to date yourself,' (see below from earlier last evening). Though suddenly I'm not in the mood. Only enough to say...love lives in the 'big picture' and it need have no definition. It's a vibe which needs no boundaries, just space 'to be,' to [...]
I'm reading a small book with a big message given to me as a gift from my last intern, Erin, who worked with me throughout the spring at Carl House. I am currently busy with the day-to-day at Carl House, affording me the opportunity to work with and mentor the young women who grace our [...]
