News alert to my psyche...hope (the context I know) is dangerous. I'm sitting with an awareness this morning of what a therapist I used to 'hang out with' called, 'the hungry ghost'. This ghost, to me, is the one that holds on to some belief, some aspiration of change, transformation, illusion, (mostly in others) [...]
There would be a big band playing in my ballroom every weekend. There would be all manner of great friends and acquaintances present having a terrific time, lots of seasoned dance partners and I'd be dancing every song until each muscle in my body burst with joy and utter fatigue. I miss Glenn Miller. The [...]
This line of thought came to me today. It's a good thought. Consider your assumptions. I'm looking at mine. We really don't know so many things...why people do what they do, who really is watching over us, loving us, in the seen and unseen, why events in our life occur the way they do. I'm [...]
I have been sleeping a lot during my eye surgery recovery and dreaming. I dream a lot anyway....while awake and especially when asleep. Maurice Sendak's characters are tame compared to what show up on my inner HD widescreen. I've also had time to stop the normal fast spinning ferris wheel of my life for a [...]

I hopped (I did, a hop...in red high heels), into my Blue speed racer car around 5:30 this evening and headed north....after a looooong week of the normal ups, downs and arounds. I felt as though I'd emerged from a tightly knit cocoon! The wheels [...]

As I continue on this road of self discovery, really, discerning who I do and don't want hanging out in my ether space, I am at the same time cultivating a style for which to screen, negotiate and honor my sensibilities. I've always not only done my best to 'play fair' I have from time [...]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgOyTNtsWyY&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Compassion rules. Love rocks and thoughtfulness, in my book of preferences, makes me 'off-the-charts' weak in the knees. Do something thoughtful for someone today. Just do. BB Webb
....are the ones you take all by yourself. The Weepies said it and I concur. I hired a felon today. A sad young man caught up in the spider web of government gone awry. We checked him out, thoroughly I might add. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time....too sad and unfortunate [...]
