Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Last week sort of passed by in a blip! Warren returned from a six day trip around midnight on Wednesday and then I had to have him back at the airport at the crack of dawn on Friday. Though his absence means I am able to devote my attentions strictly to whatever projects I need to work … Read More
Healing and the Two Sides of Darkness
A few weeks ago the world experienced an uncommon Supermoon phenomenon, the total eclipse of a full moon. The transition took place over my right shoulder while I watched a concert with three good friends. How much better can it get, Journeyer?

Healing and the Two Sides of Flight
Journeyer, I had the most exquisite experience while driving to work earlier this week! My drive follows a local stream, one where I’ve had the good fortune of noticing a doe leading her young fawn to drink, both set in the light of an emerging sunrise. I’ve seen osprey-like birds resting, their height reaching for the clouds atop one locked leg, the other … Read More

Happy Friday, Journeyer! I’m so glad this day has finally arrived… The heat wave that hit the northeast, coupled with a hormone surge thoroughly depleted my energy levels this week.

I met so many grief neighbors and healing allies that to list them all … Read More
Healing and the Two Sides of Size
Size matters. How many times have you heard that statement, seen it on shirts, billboards, or bumper stickers? Two thoughts came to mind when I saw that sign recently, the first being stature, as in height. On a big hair day, and I do mean 80’s style BIG HAIR day, I reach 5’2″, which by fashion standards classifies me as Petite. … Read More
Healing and the Two Sides of Fear
Well, Journeyer, it’s been one heck of a couple of days! Two days ago a cyber monster ate my five-hundred and some new and saved e-mails. Gone! Totally, absolutely, one-hundred percent gone… Though most of them were correspondences I’d saved for further research, there were a few critical ones I’d hoped to refer back to. If you are waiting for … Read More
