The power of YouTube.....google had Theresa Anderson on their main page this morning..... a new talent to me. Ahh the fiddle. Ahh the voice. Makes me (and clearly), Mary, weep! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJkQvyoWJBk&hl=en_US&fs=1&] BB Webb
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 [...]
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 [...]
I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio), on my way back from a killer Bikram Yoga class which I travel all the way to Alpharetta for, (I drive nearly an hour to be tortured). It's the closest location to my home. Having plenty of time to listen to tunes or talk on the phone, [...]

Though, to live in our [...]
Anne Sexton, the woman and poet, intrigued me greatly as a young woman. Her personal story I found fascinating, her death, shocking and her friendship with Sylvia Plath I understood. One of my favorite poems of hers is 'For Johnny Pole on the Forgotten Beach'. I have a brother named Johnny who I love dearly. [...]
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 [...]
Tonight....I Am Considering the Road, for me, Not Yet Taken... Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, [...]
