Or.....tales from the Biz Crib..... NECESSARY SUSPICION With her body taut, her eyes peered right, Captivated yet ready for flight, She measured the moves made by this man, Wondering was he solid or lose like sand, Snake oil he sold, good for the skin, It could make you look pretty, make you [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 planted flowers, petunias, coleus, herbs and such....redecorated things a bit, shifting things here and there. [...]
This week is a milestone week, for many reasons... I've known the tipping point was on its way...unsure in only impatient moments. But, a higher source noted its coming and I'm learning to trust that voice more and more. It's something when your mind, heart and spirit shift. It's like bursting from a cocoon! As [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 followed the path and it lead me there, it lead me to the crooked path where, I found the things I'd been looking for, I'd searched up and down the shore, I climbed a mountain, twice in fact, I rode down a river and then back, I'd sat with eyes looking at the sky, [...]
The Scary Monster When I was a little girl, when everyone still called me, 'Barbie Sue', I believed in scary monsters. They lived in my basement, (which if you read my earlier post, I was extremely scared of), and they hung out in my bedroom closet. I would lie (or is it lay)?? quietly in [...]
