Admittedly, as I child I created certain “challenges” for my well-meaning parents. And, although I’ve tried to block out most of the memories of me being “challenging” in my own mind, I do have some vivid recollections of bad behavior out in the middle of nowhere. Yes, you know—camping somewhere, where as child seemed like nowhere. A place with no [...]
This story is about how “one” becomes two and with careful love and guidance, the “two” takes on the beauty of the original “one.” A mother, a daughter. A seed, a flower. And, then. . .a seed again.
All over the world people are doing amazing things that almost always spring from ideas, tiny dreams that [...]
Geez, Louise. I just returned from a “micro-vacation” with my family to what I wish would have been our traditional, big summer California bonanza trip. But, with the economy being what it is today - a few days in the sunny state had to suffice. It was wonderful, but I’m “Geez, Louising” to the $5 a gallon [...]

Oprah Winfrey
Last summer I embarked on a little experiment. I decided to invite random people to our home for “supper” almost every Saturday night . . .ALL summer long. Asking “why” is a good question, because it sounds (and was) a bit of hard work. But, I have to admit I had ulterior motives.
The ”experiment” was primarily an attempt to get my [...]
Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it’s right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it. Oprah Winfrey
Are you feeling short on “human spirit” today? I know I am. To say that I had a “crappy day” would be putting it mildly. Things started out fine, dandy, a real NEAT morning. And then about 1:14 pm, I ran out into the street (like a two-year-old might) and was almost killed by a [...]
