Loss is a tricky thing. We don’t like it. We like to have what we have and consider that it’ll never go away…the good things that is…people we love, ‘stuff’ we’ve accumulated, great moods that come our way…. being in shape, having the attentions we crave, perfect hair days! My former husband, Tommy Webb, passed [...]
I recently stumbled upon the eulogy I wrote for my father, Bob Banta, in 2007. I feel so fortunate to FEEL the presence, the essence and light of my father within myself as I write and when I choose and move throughout my day. We are the sum of our many parts, and a most [...]
Our nuclear family, as we all know, is not what Ozzie and Harriet portrayed in the 50s....not one bit. I own and run a special event venue.....a lovely one in fact.

I was thinking today about how mothers or fathers, husbands, wives, in an effort to 'take care of' each other, children, often love 'too well' or really not well at all when they steal the opportunity for another to find their [...]
I was leaving work this evening around 7pm, the beginning of autumn promising crisp, starry nights, (a harbinger friend of fall told me so), sweaters and robust red wine drunk on my porch with a fire blazing, a must at my home. (One of my favorite things to do with people I care [...]
Let it Be Sed (To children and best friends) She was the sort who couldn’t sit. She’d try, But she couldn’t sit. Her name was wrong. Her parents named her Sedriana. Sedriana Sabastiano. Her friends called her Sed. Others called her SS, Some just hisssssed when they saw her go by. But Sed couldn’t sit, [...]
And sometimes piss you off too! In that I'm enamoured at present with 'tipping points', those pivotal moments when you know your life is veering in a very new direction, and though you might NOT know the exact mapping of where you are going, you know the car has started and there is NO turning [...]
