  • Digging Deep

    Funny how life becomes a teacher when everything you need to know about yourself is revealed in the moment your dog tears up your special something, or your child displays disruptive behavior, or your partner embarrasses the hell out of you. Lose your cool and you will find a lesson ready to be learned right… Read more

  • Training days

    I recently got myself a puppy. That’s a picture of Zeus. At first I was not sure what was I thinking. My eldest son had given me the idea when I was in France having a melt down about being lonely and all of that jazz. He had suggested getting a dog as a companion.… Read more

  • Now what

    Ok so it’s 2013, looks like we made it and all of that jazz. We lived through all of the scary dates like 11-11-11, 12-12-12, and the end date of the Mayan calendar 12-21-2012. Whew that was close!  And because of all of the hoop-la, I am expecting great things from 2013. I just know… Read more

  • Loneliness in a far off land

    Dealing with hard issues far away from home or your comfort zone can make the grey seem even more grey. I was so glad the sun came out yesterday because it helped me see clearer the issues I am dealing with. I wake up today and the grey is everywhere and my heart was disturbed.… Read more

  • I have learned that when I am at my most upset, angry beyond words what is actually happening is sadness I am unwilling to acknowledge sitting in my chest. When we get hurt by those close to us the pain can be quickly swallowed by anger and a sweet person can rapidly turn into a… Read more

  •   Wow, what a few weeks I’ve had. I am working hard to wipe out the memory of the 2nd week of December with memories of the 3rd and then I arrived in Paris. At first I had nothing but difficulties with my electronics so I put them all down, no phone, no computer. This… Read more

  • So many questions

    I have to many questions. So many questions and nowhere to go for answers. I think lots of people feel this way. What’s going to happen? When will it happen? Will it ever happen? Questions questions questions! What is the answer? Where do we go for answers? And do we even get to have the… Read more

  • Someplace else

    Last year at this time I was in Paris, ahhh, Paris. The holidays can be hard and it is not that much fun to celebrate by yourself, right! So in order to combat the usual holiday blahs I turn them into a time of adventure. I take the sting out of solitary holiday time by… Read more

  • What did you say?

    Interesting morning I thought I would share. I am still at the spiritual retreat and now spending more time by myself as the lines have been drawn and I know what I need to do. Yesterday was a low energy day I didn’t feel very well and did almost nothing but meditate. Lots of people… Read more

  • Choosing

    I was just in Sedona looking around at all that open space. After spending some time in LA looking at that sky especially the night sky was amazing. I was struck by the people there each equally a tourist whether spiritual ones or not. Sedona is known for its many energy vortexes and large amounts… Read more
