I took a long awaited spin outside my surrounds this past Friday. Welcomed indeed. Hopping gleefully into my ready jeep, eager to hit the road, I felt giddy with excitement to take a break from what has felt like a very, very long winter, fall, summer and spring of last year. In fact, I was [...]
I don't walk my dogs. I open the door and let them run and hope they stay inside my 2 acre fenced in area. They don't always and then I call and call and in they come. I'm always repairing fences as they don't liked to be fenced in any more than I do. Seems [...]
Earlier this week, I could tell when I woke one morning with my lower back cracked in two, (symbol: support...maybe...perception is everything), that I was in for one hell of a time. Literally, I could not stand. I don't remember such excrutiating pain. I was doubled over making me weary from the lack of [...]
I have a variety of pals, some close, some I see only now and again and some who cross the border of service provider and someone who I am friendly with. I'll count my new massure/energy healing goddess as one. A new acquaintance who like me, studied energy healing with the oh so gifted Dr. [...]

THE THINGS WE KNOW TO BE TRUE The quixotic and changeable nature of man, That we each are unique, worthy and powerful, We can create anything on which we focus, That pets, friends and parents come and go, often without warning, That a rotten feeling and disappointment will eventually transform into something better, That Coco [...]
I have not birthed children however I have birthed and mothered many other things. I certainly mother my animals, step children at one time, friends when they need that sort of care and of course my businesses and creative endeavors. I've made mistakes with these 'children', enjoyed a few triumphs and certainly felt heartache earning [...]
A little over 10 years ago I found myself in the new role of wife and step mom. Both proved to be challenging roles for me though I certainly gave it my ALL. The lessons learned were worth their weight in marbles, heavy, gold gilded marbles. I am grateful for ALL my life experiences. I'm [...]
I have something I'm wrangling with today...the notion of how to really love well. 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 [...]
