And again, I remind myself…
simply to breathe... breathe, breathe, and trust... trust that somewhere, somehow, I am, (we are), supremely loved, taken care of and.... that equanimity is mine...ours... yours. And so it is. It just is. BB Webb
Girls….Young Women in our Culture
I know the story in this short video. My friend April introduced me to her friend who performs one of the roles in this piece. A lovely heartful man. We all watched it together the other weekend. I get it. Sincerely, I do and I do and I do. I'd like to be one of [...]
All The Kinds of Alive You Can Be
Every day, a choice. Every moment, an opportunity. And tomorrow, a new start, if you'll allow that thinking. And you, golden, should you deem it so. I say, go for the gold-en.

The Incredible Light-Bright-Fightness of BE-ing
...or in my case, 'BB-ing'! We all see through different lenses. I've escaped my 3 most pressing issues (and they are not small, to me) for a fortnight. Leaving town a moment with conversations and visits with a friend help to bring a momentary escape and rest to my brain. I'm thankful for that. [...]
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 are not separate, I feel similarly about these voices. I live alone, (me, 6 mammals and 2 fish), so I'm [...]
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 actress and a great challenge to a writer. How do we most effectively express what is in our hearts? I [...]
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), a musician intent on creating his major musical work, his symphony, his opus to present to the world. Instead, his [...]
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 memories it evokes...all summoning me to this magnificent pleasure. I'm picky about my beans, the 'cream' I use, that it's [...]
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 you might have done in the past. I'm also inspired by people's willingness to shift, turn, grown and love despite [...]
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). It's the closest location to my home. Having plenty of time to listen to tunes or talk on the phone, [...]
