...before you can change them. I was presented this notion many years ago and am considering it as I ponder with eyes wide open this evening. I am considering how we delude ourselves and often decide to 'not face the music,' (a quite interesting expression). Why would someone NOT want to face the music? Because [...]
I've been short of breath this entire week, I can't get a full breath. I'm strong, healthy and in good shape. Sick people and old ladies usually are the ones short of breath. My friend informed me it was STRESS. And then she followed it up with, 'Stress is the #1 killer in America. [...]
Which is it. What do we do from one day to the next, moment to the next? SUPPORT...I'm all for that, giving it and receiving it. Support to me is giving someone the tools to do what they have the ability to do. We can give it and receive it...Support for efforts in growth, learning [...]
With the myriad of dense energy I've found myself mucking about in lately, realizing my inner zing and joy was a bit diminished, I knew it was up to me, and only me to turn things around....to turn my light back on. I have a lot of light and typically, great energy and joy, despite [...]

There is always a gift, always. When we're seemingly thrown over a cliff or shoved against a wall, there is a gift, (smashed nose too, maybe). I'm thinking this evening about fate and the necessity for (or advantage of), perspective. I've watched, felt really, my mind and my body take grand shifts of perspective and [...]
Everyday we have an opportunity. I'm thinking of my two friends. I'm thinking of my friend with cancer and I'm thinking of my friend who feels she is at the end of her rope. My few best friends are facing challenging situations in their lives. As I sit with them, and as I send them [...]
My friend has cancer and she's just not yet jumping in to take care of it. I can't imagine what's going on in her mind and heart. She's so lovely. She's so dear to me. I'm doing all I know how to do at this point, and I ask for guidance daily about how best [...]
The Weepies have a song named 'Lighting Candles' which hit me in a new way this very weekend. I've spent years and continue to find myself lighting candles in the dark. I couldn't find their song on YouTube to share, but have written out the words below. I relate. For me it is possibly the [...]
