I awoke, recently....with this paragraph steaming through my head. 'And so you should.....seek ever greater authenticity. ....and always a connection to heart, which to me, is imagining the walk in another's shoes while standing solidly in your own. Listening for what you don't yet realize. Being open to the breath and wisdom between [...]
Money was raised, and glasses too, at the Jeanette Rankin High Hat Tea. A sunny day in Athens with hope of more deserving women being awarded seed money to advance their educations! Lovely really. And oooh....me, well, First Place Winner for the Most Creative Hat award with my 'The Many Faces of You!' hat!! (Frankly [...]
Well, it's Jeanette Rankin Foundation fundraising time at the High Hat Tea tomorrow...this year at the Athens Botanical Gardens. So tonight I find myself fashioning a special hat. A bit difficult to balance on my head, but ahhhh, well. It's my 'The Many Faces of You!' hat. Consider, all your parts. The daring, The thoughtful, [...]
Why I Like People Often they are loveable. They are FULL of surprises. They come in many colors. They make me laugh. They can make me sad or upset, making my laugh feel even better! They can be fun to go on short and long trips with. Sometimes they laugh at my jokes. They can [...]

Magically she arrives on stage, like a ready dancer, her arms held so perfectly poised. Sturdy is this beauty, independent [...]
I'm thinking this morning about the people who have come through my life, considering the possible 'soul contracts' we had way before coming to this particular time on earth. I'm considering the necessary losses we go through to tumble on top of each and every day. I'm thinking too of a book by Judith Viorst [...]
'WOW' is all I can say here. I encourage you to take under 2 minutes to look at what this young person created AND its message. Powerful to say the least; an inspired one minute and 44 second film created by a 20 year old. I continue to be inspired by the brilliance, generosity of [...]
There is no greater test than coming back to yourself. I'm all about 'coming home' these days, and it's been a journey indeed. I've weathered a season of discontent, and I'm not bemoaning that fact, stating it only as the truth and a necessary time of growth for me. I've been looking in the mirror [...]
