I hope you’re enjoying the fullness of summer – the fullness of light, warmth, flowers, sunsets over the water, and sweet watermelon in your belly.  A few years ago a friend turned me on to the Benedictine Nun and prolific writer Joan Chittister. Author of over 60 books and now in her 80s, she continues to travel the world giving

Life has so much to be grateful for, while at times, it is filled with challenges and what appear to be insurmountable obstacles.  The latest Supreme Court Justices decisions were like a punch in the stomach for many of us.  It seems we are going backwards instead of forwards on many fronts, most recently the reproductive

The miracle of spring reminds us of the light within us that never ceases. The soul quietly cries out for attention amidst the distractions of the ego. Listen, simply listen, one moment at a time, to it’s song of eternal love. (To read the last post The Sacred Cloth of Ukraine click here). When I last wrote about the

There is an incredible beauty and joy in the smallest blade of grass rising from the earth in spring. It’s an emerging of life, in both nature and ourselves. (If you missed the last post Part Three: Entering the Castle click here before reading on.)  “Great joys make us love the world. Great sadnesses make us understand the world.” ~Kent Nerburn

If you haven’t read Part One: my will vs. God’s will click here before reading on. When I left off, it was September 1, 2020 and mom and I were just heading out across the Nevada desert, caravan style – me driving her camper van, her following behind in my car. Destination: my home in Bozeman, Montana.  We

I’m going to write one part at a time of the two year cocoon unfolding, each writing building on the one prior.  When I left writing in May of 2020, we were two months into the pandemic. I had been camping with my mom in the mountains of Santa Barbara, CA for five months in search

I’m putting my soul onto the page for the first time in almost two years. The much needed cocoon has been a sacred and nurturing space amidst the goings on of the world, both internally and externally. But now it’s time to come out, it’s time to be back in the world, with richer, more colorful

Wow, what a wild ride the world has been on this spring. You may be adapting to the new norm at this point or wishing it would return to the old. All is welcomed and understandable during this unprecedented time. There are no rules or past experience to navigate it from. It’s like walking each

It’s been awhile since I’ve written, almost 3 months in fact. The longest I’ve gone without writing since I started writing 10 years ago. I’ve been cocooning, drawing into my internal landscape, unsure of where I’m heading or what’s next. I still don’t. But what I do know is that I miss connecting with you.
