With each passing moment…

I'm experiencing an 'aha' this evening...just home from work after another day of shocks and thrills. I'm considering that the universe feels I'm suited for the frontline, I'm supposed to be the commander of the artillery regiment. I certainly am becoming adept at putting out fires and managing change. Not initially, I still react like [...]

Friends can be like…

2009-12-31T00:02:14-07:00By |Friends|

...popcorn, constant explosions of impulse, surprise, support, smarts and fun, fun, fun! I'll speak today of one favorite friend....my pal 2Lu. She's smart as a whip, wears the funniest clown pants in history, makes me laugh so hard with her quick wit and sharp tongue, has a selflessness in key areas that inspire and leave [...]

On Truth.

2009-12-30T10:15:32-07:00By |LIfe|

I've learned some key things this past week.....or maybe it's a lifetime that has brought me here. Who we are, our truth, how we feel, what we believe, is like a personal elixir, making us full, alive, passionate about things perhaps, allows our soul to flourish within our human skin. Though, to live in our [...]

A Voice, a Voice…

I've always been talkative. (I can hear great laughter in the background). When I was 5 years old I had a Chatty Cathy doll. I'd pull her string and once got so tired of HER talking that I actually remember throwing her down the basement stairs. Uh oh...that might say something about my character. Awww, [...]

Debbie Reynolds said it…

2009-12-27T01:04:44-07:00By |Change|

I heard it....in the 1955 film entitled, 'The Tender Trap.' 'If you have a plan, and believe in your plan, you'll get what you want.' If Debbie said it, I believe it....even though it was an insipid 1950s era film, with all those cigarettes and cocktails and flawed belief systems, with Frank Sinatra, who I [...]

There by the Grace of God Go I….

2009-12-10T21:33:17-07:00By |Friends|

Isn't it the truth. How many times have I known, for SURE, that angels were hovering about me as I did one stupid thing or another....drove like a maniac and should have run head long into a wall or fallen down a rabbit hole smothered myself by putting my foot in my mouth. I am [...]

Hurt and Sober

2009-11-30T20:04:36-07:00By |Change, People I Admire|

I learned a boatload today and I feel all the growth pains. At the moment it feels just awful. I know I have angels who swarm around and protect me (from myself mostly) and who make sure I get a speeding ticket (today) to make sure I don't have a crash and kill myself. They [...]

Through a Woods Clearly

2009-11-29T19:27:37-07:00By |Change|

These times are trying indeed....one pellet, then two, the third sneaks up on you...not full shots, just little annoying hits, trying to take one off course. But my course is clear, it always has been....though the road I travel keeps changing. And it is this time of year I think of Robert Frost. His words [...]

Do Not Go Gently….

2009-11-14T20:04:11-07:00By |Passion|

I have not birthed children however I have birthed and mothered many other things. I certainly mother my animals, step children at one time, friends when they need that sort of care and of course my businesses and creative endeavors. I've made mistakes with these 'children', enjoyed a few triumphs and certainly felt heartache earning [...]

Rock it Ruthie….go on now…

2009-11-10T22:58:02-07:00By |Music|

I've gotten to play a few roles in my life.....but damn, how much time to play the ones on this long list I have.... Why do actors want to be singers, and singers actors? Do doctors want to be lawyers, and accountants Queen's of England? These are the things I think about when my eyes [...]
