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, [...]
It's a small request, but one that suits me. The Dogwood. Graceful, poised with her perfect blossoms and statuesque build. She sneaks in behind the eager daffodils, an ACT 2 harbinger to spring. Magically she arrives on stage, like a ready dancer, her arms held so perfectly poised. Sturdy is this beauty, independent [...]
'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 [...]
Eggzactly... Every thing, person, experience, incident, episode, story, fantasy...has another side. Take eggs for example, fried, boiled, poached, scrambled, raw.. I spent a luscious Easter Sunday spring cleaning, readying porches for evenings under the stars, for friends and parties.

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 [...]
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 [...]
I’m waxing a bit poetic this late evening. You may want to play Erik Satie’s music below while reading. And in that it's probably morning time for you, you may consider reading and listening with a strong cup of espresso or hot ceylon or oolong tea, sweetened just so, snugged up in a comfy chair [...]
