A Powerful Anniversary
Two years ago today my beautiful Teal left the planet. Here is a picture taken of us a month before her sudden death. There still is no official ’cause of death’, and I suspect there never will be. But to me her cause of death was for me to wake up — to begin to live […]

My Adventure in the Woods: The Power of a Good Challenge
Every once in a while we need a good adventure – a way to climb out of our safe little havens and stretch. I just returned from such an experience – and I am so much better for it. I have begun to date a serious backpacker. Rachel has been exploring the backcountry of the […]

My Spiritual Healing Hit List
I have found a new toehold … (no, foothold … maybe even a comfy ledge?) in my healing. As I tumble ever closer to God, I crave the comfort of light and sweetness around me. I naturally want more and more exaltation in my midst – the happy glow of artists living their highest calling. […]

What’s Really Happening When We’re Stuck
Sometimes I get stuck. Maybe you do, too? Here’s what it feels like. I have something relatively simple to do … like learning how to transfer videos from my new camcorder into my computer. Read the manual and just learn the damn thing, right? Wrong. Somehow the task becomes a behemoth. So for the last […]

Life With an Empty To Do List
What do you do when there is literally nothing to be done? When the proverbial To Do list is empty, and you have no immediate tasks at hand? That is the rhetorical question that keeps rattling through my formerly too-busy brain. My old workaholic self is dead, replaced by a softer, more tender me who is […]

Why I Unplugged From the Same Old Sh*t & Decided to Forgive
This much I have learned about forgiveness: We do what we can when we are ready. Recently I forgave a dear friend who I felt treated me very unfairly at a certain, tender point in our relationship. For months my anger at her ‘transgression’ lingered in my mind. Again and again, I played out a […]

Learning How to Live Life Lightly … From Teal
I don’t know about you, but most of my life that I believed I must work my fanny off to make anything happen. Part of me still does … even though I know this concept is inherently wrong. Not that effort and to-do’s and tasks don’t make the world go round. They do, indeed. But […]

In Praise of Reality … And Why We Hide From It
I’ve been learning to stay awake. No, I’m not referring to my need to be in bed by ten. I’m talking about the ability to stay conscious, present and tuned in to what is happening right here and right now. I’m talking about my need to not live in the suspended, sunlit world of fantasy […]

Getting Through the Pain of Transition
Today I am in despair. There is no particular drama in my life – all my physical needs are well met. I feel loved by my friends and family. There is money in the bank. My health is fine and I like where I live. Instead … I am shedding. I am letting go of […]
