  • Devotion. Full Stop.

    Devotion. Full Stop.

    Full stop. It’s the British term for period. (The kind at the end of a sentence.) Beginnings and endings are featuring large in my life these days. In addition to the (obvious) New Year, there are starts and stops all over the place.   Here’s what’s stopping: My crazed travel binge is coming to a…

  • The Ones We Choose

    The Ones We Choose

    I love pondering the divine play between physical and spiritual worlds. I often savor these thoughts like a slow-melting piece of fine chocolate.   One of my favorites concerns reincarnation. (I’m guessing you’re rolling your eyes and mouthing, ‘Of course it does…’)   It is believed that souls travel together in packs, like wolves or…

  • Thailand Tales II – Befriending the Dragon (or Better Out Than In)

    Thailand Tales II – Befriending the Dragon (or Better Out Than In)

    We are healed of a suffering only by expressing it to the fullest. 
~Marcel Proust   It wasn’t long after my daughter was born that one of her superpowers was revealed. Her body had the uncanny ability to reject (sometimes violently) what it did not want.   This resulted in an enormous number of outfit…

  • Thailand Tales – Slaying the Dragon

    Thailand Tales – Slaying the Dragon

    Just after Thanksgiving, I traveled to Thailand. Nearly a year ago, I gladly accepted the invitation to one of my favorite countries on the planet, but as the time approached I found it hard to tear myself away from my loved ones, celebrating my favorite holiday. The journey was long and challenging, an exercise in…

  • Aaaaah, What a Relief it Is

    Aaaaah, What a Relief it Is

    Worrying is like praying for what you don’t want. ~Unknown   I don’t like to worry. It bothers me when I do it. And it really bothers me when other people do it.   I realize the futility of worry. I understand that it actually sickens the body. I know that it never leads to…

  • Help! I Need Somebody…

    Help! I Need Somebody…

    Are you humming? I’ve never been the biggest Beatles fan (blasphemy, I know) but their tunes sure are catchy.   Back to the topic at hand.   How good are you at asking for help? How often do you default to the toddler’s battle cry: “I can do it BY MYSELF!”   Hmmm… I thought…

  • I Don’t Wanna!

    I Don’t Wanna!

    “The commitments we make to ourselves and to others, and our integrity to those commitments, is the essence and clearest manifestation of our proactivity.” ~ Stephen R. Covey from The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People   Resistance is a bear, my friends. (Another B-word came to mind but I decided to keep it clean.)   One…

  • Lovemaking and Moneymaking

    Lovemaking and Moneymaking

    First of all, this is not a post about prostitution. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way… I’m in the most wonderful honeymoon period of a new love relationship. It has been downright distracting, to say the least. Instead of doing my work, running my business or taking care of my house, I…

  • Bringing the Inside Out

    Bringing the Inside Out

    Characters have been battling it out for airtime in my brain and through my fingers. The follow-up to my novel, which is half-written, is pulling me like a buggy behind a pack of horses. From nowhere (actually from a sexy dream ;)), came a whole new set of characters, in their own story. (A mystery…

  • Living a Passion-Filled Life

    Living a Passion-Filled Life

    I just returned from the first real retreat I’ve had in over a decade. One where I had no access to my treasured internet and devices. I thought I would go through withdrawal, but I easily forgot all about my lack of connectivity while surrounded by remarkable natural beauty and loved ones. I ate food that came…
