Once Upon A Time

When my children were small, I spent a good deal of time telling them stories. Their little faces would light up with the possibility of a story session and it was always a soothing “end of the day” event. They would curl up next to me, snuggling close to my body with blankets and thumbs in place as they settled into the half hour or so where they got to imagine new places and hear about characters that didn’t live in their day to day life. At those times, it didn’t seem...

Something To Do Before the End of the World

Generations of Love The end of 2010 brought a lot for all of us… Now we are just past the spring equinox and a veritable shit storm has ensued. With all the terribly difficult things that the world is experiencing it’s not easy to feel like there’s much hope, but there is. You being you… is the most natural thing to do, as well as the most productive. You may have thought you would have accomplished a lot more by now and are feeling particularly snarky about yourself,...

What Do You Chose To Do?

Last night, our son’s dog (really he’s a Saluki, which could be considered something like a human with four legs) couldn’t make up his mind where to sleep. Due to Ty being in town picking up his sweetheart, Red started out in our bed, but couldn’t get settled. Did he miss his human or was he just restless? After a number of ins and outs of our bed, he just took over my side of the bed, relegating me to surrender to the couch.Even after Ty got home, Red insisted on being in...

You Are My Greatest Teachers…

(written in the fall of 2008… ) My children… You all know how much I’ve been struggling of late.  Some days I’m really clear and ok then others I’m sad or lost, angry or resentful, scared and alone.  I’ve had to face my incredible “humanness” lately with all of you witnessing what I have believed to be incredible weakness.  I’ve said to you all before that it’s important to witness a person whose fallen far, stumbled on themselves or seem to be in the midst of incredible...

Mama and child are healthy and strong… the little family is just falling in love now, settling into living as a family together… Many people have been asking me how I feel being a grandmother, which has consistently thrown me off.

Love, love, love, love, love….

My husband and I are in Salt Lake visiting some of my family for the Thanksgiving holiday. He and I secured a lovely hotel room nearby, as my sister’s home is full to overflowing with babies, kids, grandmothers and greatgrandmothers… it’s full up. Normally, we don’t watch any television nor do we have a large screen to view movies on… we just use a small computer to watch movies at home, so there’s this added addition of a huge television, front and center in...

Thanks – Giving

Today is the day before Thanksgiving and I’m sitting on the floor at the San Jose Airport… waiting for a flight. The idea was to get on the earliest flight to Salt Lake so I could see my sister and her family, my mother and have a few nights with my husband before he’s off working for a month, away from home. Best laid plans… right!? Last night my truck broke down on my way home from working in town…. shit, shit, shit…  I still had to pack, make dinner for my...

When You Don’t Show Up

There are times when no matter what you do, it looks like you’re just being difficult to others. But when your life is centered on serving truth, it means just that. You serve truth, not the social order or what other people want from you. This is not easy. We all love to share with each other; times, love, food, fun… it’s part of being human, yet being a part of things may mean that you’d have to sacrifice what you know to be true… which takes you off your personal...

Looking Like a Beauty Queen

One of Source's Garden - Tamarack Flat Early the other morning my lover and I got to talking… the sleepy morning warmth of our bed, our shared love for each other and life itself… the quiet murmurings of our small kitty as she curled around our feet a little closer… all this contributed to our gentle discussion about why some people had really challenging lives, while others didn’t. A few years ago we went on a trip together to reconnect after a separation that had left...
