It’s all in the timing

There is SO much to share, so much to write about....and at the moment, as I work toward the end of what has been one HECK of a year....I have little time for my favorite pass time (Interesting expressing that...'pass time'). I wonder with that....if I'm correct with that expression. My sister-in-law told me once [...]

Entrances and Exits…Tender is the Day

2010-12-09T09:01:54-07:00By |Compassion|

There has been much shifting afoot and 'things' seem to be sorting themselves out, though certainly not always with total ease. My friend Karen, (beloved wife of my now deceased and treasured mentor Tony Montanaro) yesterday sent me this quote..... "I want to do to you what spring does to the cherry trees." Pablo Neruda [...]

And so it goes…drip, drip, drip.

One drip of consciousness into the next....our slow awakenings. Mine come slowly and then periodically, in solid and sudden bursts. BOOM! We see. We hear. We know. We know, on NO uncertain terms we see ourselves, our path anew. And the awkwardness of ambivalence and compromise leaves. The choice to love oneself becomes stronger than [...]

General…..Manager? Thank You Betty White!

A major 'aha'....(they're coming like popcorn kernels these days) hit me like a small stone on the head this morning. I've felt changes brewing within a lot over the last weeks and months....(I've had a direction in mind for quite some time)...but of late, I'm being 'popped' around quite a bit and that's fine...I can [...]

And if you knew you were dying soon…

How would you conduct your life? We've all considered this, or pondered the thought at least momentarily. I would fret so much less over the seeming big things which distract me, make me sad, frightened or upset. I'd say 'what the hell'. Honestly, 'what the hell'. Who really cares, I'm gonna die soon anyhow. How [...]

And then the net lifted.

I'm enamored (is that the correct word this morning) with the process of being human on this planet. Enamored isn't the best word, but it'll have to do for the moment. I felt a net lift from my myopic view of the world this week. Some things became crystal clear. And if not CRYSTAL clear, [...]

Breaking the Shell

Ever feel as though you're incubating.....under the warmer like a chick in an egg, waiting for the right time to hatch? I appreciate what Mr. Scptt-Maxwell has to say.     "You have neat, tight expectations of what life ought to give you, but you won't get it. That isn't what life does. Life does [...]

The Many Parts of We

2010-09-20T21:37:13-07:00By |Relationships|

I am considering this evening the many parts of we....all of us, me, the people I know, the ones I know well, others not so, and the new ones gracing my world who I'm eager to know better.....then I consider, that less confident side of myself....'.if I don't muck up!' Quite a comment for [...]

Men…..Women, Hearts and Minds

2010-09-12T22:11:07-07:00By |Compassion|

We all know we are different, men and women. I'm thinking today about really how we are the same, though come at our desires and needs differently. I'll venture to say that even with sexuality, with a commensurate blend of mind and heart, men AND women seek fulfillment of pleasure, (yep, satisfaction) and connection there [...]

Deleting she did go.

2010-09-11T09:11:33-07:00By |Compassion|

I woke this morning, oooooh, after a long and luxurious sleep, my favorite...to a kind, thoughtful, sweet and loving note from a new friend. It was so different from the sort of communiques I've received over the past many years....in many ways. I sat with it, considering the sort of person who might write such [...]
