The choices we make…

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 [...]

Ever hear yourself talking or writing and a word from SOMEWHERE comes out of your mouth or on the page and you wonder 'where did THAT come from?' or you wonder, 'when did I learn that word?' but dang if it isn't 'right on'. Suddenly a lexicon of mystery words make themselves known. Today was [...]

Jeannette Rankin, a woman among men, among women…

I recently served as Mistress of Ceremonies for the Jeannette Rankin Foundation annual dinner, held in Athens, GA. I've known of this organization for a number of years and had the opportunity to interview its Executive Director, Sue Lawrence on my former tv show several years back. The Jeannette Rankin Foundation, based out of Athens, [...]

Perspective

I am considering this evening how differently we all view the world. We all have our 'world view'. I like being around people with an expanded vision of what is possible. I was introduced to the work of M.C. Escher when I was 14 or 15 years old. Somehow I went from Jughead and Betty [...]

Oh the people we meet.

Overall, (and remind me I said this), I'm having a love affair with life. And love affairs are interesting....they have their highs and their lows...but just as Jerry Seinfeld exclaims in one of his many (by me, beloved) episodes of the Seinfeld show, 'make up sex is the BEST sex.'  I'm grooving on the metaphor.

I spent a lovely weekend with some new and old friends eating, drinking, sharing ideologies and stretching what I know, what I believe, how I see the world and certainly my next steps.  My dear friend, Sherry, fondly referred to as Louise to my Thelma, .....(our first adventure took us north in my little red [...]

I feel an adventure brewing…

Whenever I read Tom Robbins, I get a hankerin to hit the road...it's a must now and again....usually alone, though often with someone I know along route or at my destinations end, and on fine occasion, with a fellow traveller, but alone is fine too. It's what I call my 'expanding time' as I never [...]

I have a dear friend who lives in Maine; I've spoken of her before, the lovely and talented Karen Montanaro, wife of my beloved late teacher Tony Montanaro. She is a seeker like myself. Our conversations would drive most anyone mad as we stay up late into the night bug-eyed considering thoughts in the realms [...]
