Just Give Me 15 Minutes …
of Fame. We all want it! And by golly, if we don’t get it one way, we’ll try another. Then we start questioning ourselves … if only I could be … if only I could do … if only I could meet …. if only I were younger … taller, smarter, prettier, skinnier. You know what I mean. If only … Continue reading

Mahalo, Monica
There is nothing more traumatic than listening to your Spirit tell you to release your grip on something you want to hold on to with all your might. You’re just so afraid that you’ll lose it if you let go. What I wrote about in I’ll Keep Travelin’ was probably what helped me begin to relax my grip; today I was inspired to release it a … Continue reading
I’ll Keep Travelin’
Last night, I was given a life-changing message-don’t! What follows is the answer to my question, "Don’t do What?" ♥ Don’t Run (out the door, to another city, to another person) Don’t Scream (at God, at your loved one, at your boss) Don’t Give Up (your life, your job, your relationship) Don’t Hide (under a blanket, from your fears, from your perpetrators) … Continue reading

The Warmth of Snow …
Winter visited yesterday morning. It was snowing. I thought about calling my daughter since we always love the "idea" of snow. But it was too early, so I soaked in the memory of it and went about my day. I’m certainly not ready for the cold, but perhaps it will be the cleansing I need. Chill pills … I need a … Continue reading
