The last few days have been hectic ones in my house as we prepared for our first blending of Bob’s family and mine — from brunch through dinner. I’m utterly heart blasted by the love and care everyone gave to each other — from my daughter Lilly making a slide show with pictures of everybody in our “old” and […]

Let me say right at the beginning this is an experiment.  I may not want to do it every week. I may forget. Nobody may play.

And that’s okay.

I’m a Frito Bandito…
Just had to write that. I’m dating myself!

I’m wondering and thinking and experimenting with this idea of desire as separate from mood. It continues to excite and free me… and then that niggely nasty word should comes creeping in the door… and confuses me a tad…
I should make this retreat deeper and richer.
I should be meditating more, asking for guidance more (or at […]

Long time amazingly intelligent and even more resourceful Helga sent me this story yesterday - I had to share it with you!
From Helga:
“Tried hard to arrange for Sedona, but couldn’t get kid-care on short notice. Guess it wasn’t meant to be. I know it’ll happen when the time is right. Meanwhile, I had a different kind […]
