Many of you know I've been going through some stuff lately. Sort of a metaphorical heart-injury, like a strain or sprain - causing me to slow down a bit and reconsider some spiritual, emotional, relational, and practical issues. I've been really focused on taking care of myself, and asking for what I need - and I can tell my heart is healing, and ( Read more... )

Wow - what an adventure! I'm super happy to be home and clean while writing this. I come home feeling a lot of gratitude, and although I didn't have the best time, I can't wait to do it again next year. This years' burn for me became about solving a problem - making sure we could get home. Almost everything I did was related to that. So, I didn't ( Read more... )

The melody of this song is just as beautiful as the lyrics, and it really sums up my approach to relationships. Thank you, John Denver, for ALL the gifts you left us, including this one ( Read more... )

To remind me that this is what is, it may not be like I'd like to see it in my mind, ( Read more... )

I guess this slowing down and laying low stuff is lasting quite a while. I just haven't felt like blogging. I don't really feel like it right now, but people are starting to notice it's been a while and they're asking if I'm still alive. My spirits have actually been quite positive for this time of year - please don't read depression into my ( Read more... )

For those of you who might be wondering if I'm ever actually going to ride my motorcycle... know that I took the Team Oregon class this weekend - and PASSED! =) Whoo hoo! All I need now is to take the card they gave me to DMV and get a new license with my endorsement on it, and, how timely - a short-haired picture of me as well. Thanks to Grim ( Read more... )

October. For me, the month of transition from summer to winter. When the universe tells me it's okay to slow down for a spell, in fact, PLEASE slow down a bit. Get a hold of yourself. Get a hold of something or someone warm and comfy. Spend less money. Eat less. Nest. Prepare upstairs healing space for receiving clients. Watch some movies ( Read more... )
