I had tree guys come and clear out a tangle of trees and dead wood. Being a serious tree lover, it seemed all wrong to take out so many. But now, it is wonderful to see a clear sky and the morning light streaming in from the east. With this new light, there is suddenly […]
When Healthy Patterns Become Unhealthy – What does it mean?
I am fascinated by this subject. I think the patterns of our behavior tell a lot about our life lessons.

WHICH PART OF YOU IS TAKING THE LEAD?
I was about to meditate when I noticed three birds circling my back yard. They were swirling in circles while also moving forward, one being in front until another did a loop and surged forward. All three of them took turns being in the lead. It was a graceful, un-choreographed midair dance. I realized watching […]

A NEW YEAR’S GIFT – GRACE IN ADVERSITY
I walked home from a neighbor’s New Year’s Eve party to find my front door wide open. The shutters on the door were torn off the hinges, laying like a ramp across the steps. I looked in the door and the entire staircase hand railing, baluster, and newels had been ripped up and were strewn […]
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU “SPREAD YOUR WINGS”?
Last January, I taught a class entitled “Spread Your Wings – Create Your Dreams in 2015”. After the 4-week class ended, the group wanted to continue to meet and has ever since.
