The Passing of Time and Times…

2009-12-29T02:33:29-07:00By |LIfe|

A friend of mine died this weekend. It was sudden and the details don’t matter. This news felt like a kick in the gut, I literally felt all the blood rush to my head as I heard the news. My breathing actually stopped. I had to have it repeated several times to really take it [...]

Man’s Arrogance

2009-12-28T15:33:31-07:00By |LIfe|

I heard this just today... it's mans supreme arrogance that he can screw up his life. I believe in divine order and that all suffering stems from human attachment and ego. At least that's my thinking today. And, that we are so much more powerful and full of loving kindness that we know or which [...]

That Path of Good Intentions…

2009-12-28T01:27:07-07:00By |Change|

Some days I feel that life is quite random and then others, entirely planned, the universe having it’s perfect reaction to shift and turn us where we need to go, where we need to wake up. I think? It’s awful some of the time, harsh and cruel really, feeling like being bandied about in a [...]

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 [...]

Is it ‘just weather’?

2009-12-08T20:18:28-07:00By |Passion|

I wrote a piece, keynote talk, performance, I don’t know….called, ‘It’s Just Weather, Embracing Possibility Thinking or How to Find Your Twirl.’ In this piece I share stories about ‘moving forward,’ moving forward despite the obstacles, the rain, the stuff that gives one ‘pause.’ I performed it, rewrote it, performed it again, then put it [...]

It’s the little things…

2009-12-03T21:18:10-07:00By |Words|

I've a word filling my mind this evening. Sustainability I'm not sure why. Words get lodged in my brain until I pay attention. I'm not sure who is knocking on my noggin at these times....but I'm grateful for their presence. So, off to dictionary.com, one of my favorite places to tarry. Here's what I found. [...]

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 [...]

This just in from the Universe…

2009-11-21T05:02:06-07:00By |LIfe|

'Any attempt to measure one's progress in life with an assessment of their present physical surroundings, or even a panoramic glance at their life and times to date, is just plain "whacked." The reason being, is that each journey, kind of like a haircut, should never be fully appraised until it's complete. Otherwise, one might [...]

Truth or dare…..

2009-11-17T22:48:36-07:00By |Reflection, Uncategorized|

Truth, light, transparency and savvy always wins. And by winning, i am referring to working toward the 'good'. And might I define good? Perhaps good is taking responsibility, doing well onto others, respecting your limits, encouraging growth. Truth or dare. I dare you to own up to all that you are....the glorious pieces, the less [...]
