Journeyer…have you ever felt like you were living “the life?” You know the one…that expression “She’s living the life of her dreams!” or “He’s living the high life!” That’s sort of how last week presents itself when I look back at the photos and notes I jotted down for this Happy Happens column. As usual, I am short on time … Read More
Be Good to Your Sons
I recently had a conversation with a man who believes that boys/men shouldn’t cry. It was likely ingrained in him as a child. We’ve all heard the expressions: “Boys who cry are sissies/weak/wimps. Boys DO NOT cry.” Though this man says that’s what he believes for himself, he proclaims that he didn’t try to influence his boys of such things. … Read More
Everything’s Going to Be Okay
Journeyer, this week (like most) has been one hell of a ride! Last week ended and this week began with Warren and I running away. A little R&R always does the body, the mind, and the relationships good, don’t you think? There’s been the usual day-to-day drudgery like dishes and laundry and noticing the dust on the furniture and floors… … Read More
Healing and the Two Sides of Divine Design
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. ~Buddha I’ve been experiencing what many call a Spiritual Awakening. It’s a bit like coming into puberty…I’ve been noticing things like Angel Numbers, a higher self that seems to be guiding me and my work on healing, an awareness of spirit guides and angels, and … Read More
Boldt-ed
Well, Journeyer, last week’s Happy Happens edition is a bit late, but I promise I have a VERY GOOD EXCUSE. MANY GOOD EXCUSES! EXCUSES THAT ARE SO MUCH BETTER, SO MUCH MORE ORIGINAL AND CAPTIVATING THAN: My computer crashed (which it has numerous times in the last week and a half) or the one we adults say all too often: … Read More
Breast Cancer, Early Detection, and You
This past Tuesday I went for my annual mammogram. When I entered the waiting room, the staff member facing me was the nurse who crawled into the hospital bed with me on one of my darkest nights following the birth and subsequent death of my son. In my memoir, Digging for the Light: One Woman’s Journey from Heartache to Hope, I … Read More
Balancing Act
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! This week has been all about creating balance between love and fear, patience and anxiousness, knowledge and wisdom, sadness and joy… Brief, daily meditations have allowed me to ask the universe to help me focus on how each of these things play important roles in my life and asking for guidance in making the pairs more harmonious. … Read More
Healing and the Two Sides of Balance
“I’m imagining I’m pulling the disease out of me each time I rip a weed from the ground.” After four months of dueling calendars, I finally had the great fortune and pleasure of having a leisurely conversation with a new friend. The quote at the beginning is something her husband recently said after battling a long illness. Though the quote is slightly … Read More
Love Notes from The Universe
This week has evaporated into a vortex of I don’t know what, Journeyer… Actually, yes I do… I’ve been working hard on myself and on moving The Five Facets Philosophy on Healing forward… Making contacts…researching online course development programs…working on the next book… It’s all equally exciting and tedious work, as many of you know! As I scrolled through my … Read More
Not My Mom’s Pot Roast
Today is Bill Day, the one day of the week I slave over mail and statements. Today is also Writing Day, one of the two definite days I dedicate to this blog. Thursdays are usually pretty full, and if I stick to these two commitments, there’s little time for anything else during daylight hours. Not Candy Crush. Not Words with Friends, Facebook, … Read More
