Yesterday I had a session with a healer and told her that I wanted to work on emotional issues. “Okay,” she responded, and we were off delving into the ways that current issues trigger little girl responses that pop up without my being aware of them. It’s one thing to understand how I as an… Read more »

Facing Emotions and Shaking Them Off
Many people believe that their emotions will dissipate without having to address them. They believe that in time the emotions will make their way to the background and be replaced with more pertinent and pressing issues, without being understood or faced. I don’t think so. They might not be on the forefront of our minds,… Read more »
Making a Hard Decision
Making the decision was the hardest part. Implementing it was easier. An old friend came to visit and as soon as he saw my sculptures in the garage, he said, “Let’s put them in storage right now. They don’t belong in your house. They are weighing you down and they don’t reflect who you are… Read more »
The Special Castle
It was a cold day in December when my son and daughter-in-law were visiting. I told them to take a few hours to themselves and I would watch the kids – ages 5 and 3. We baked cookies, watched a show on tv, did an art project but I was running out of activities and… Read more »

Are we so pompous to think that everything we create emanates only from our small bodies and minds? We each do have unique… Read more »

Surprise at the Farmer’s Market
I look forward to the Farmer’s Market all week. Local vendors bring whatever is in season…red, black (yes, a black variety) and green apples, chilis, beets, pears, arugula, and bean sprouts cut off at the time of purchase. All fresh and organic, of course. Children eating beef sausages on a stick and cups of local… Read more »
Who Is Going to Stop Me?
My new friend taught me about empowerment. When he was younger he was told that he should not work with his hands because he would never be successful and that he should stop dancing because he would not be good at it. I met him as an adult and I am impressed that he is… Read more »
To Be All You Can Be
Meet Être, an inspirational resource site created for the middle school set when girls are their most authentic selves yet vulnerable to peer pressure and societal values. I learned about this site created by my cousin yesterday. Être means “to be” in French and is designed to encourage girls to stay true to the things… Read more »
