Hidden sculptures.

Seeing as we're temporarily back to old school blogging (3 cheers from *me* for that) I feel compelled to add an update to my musings about bashert. A snippet of a Facebook status update which I shared, but not publicly. Something I posted the afternoon of the morning I'd spent my morning pages pondering predestiny ................. This morning I was up early considering the Yiddish ... Continue Reading

48.

by

Ive recently spent a lot of time reading about why life appears to move more rapidly as we get older. I remember my grandmother remarking to me decades ago how, as she aged, years seemed to pass like weekends. I understood what she meant. I've only begun to experience it for myself the past five years or so. Turning 47? Running out of fucks to give? It all feels like yesterday around ... Continue Reading

Farewell Elementary (AKA 5 reasons I STILL love my tween)!

by

pre-school (finger quote) graduation (unFQ). I wasn't sad when The Child went to kindergarten. We'd been Frick & Frack for plenty of years and were both ready to resume/launch separate lives. It was time for her to have secrets and an existence outside of me. It was HIGHtime for me to regain some semblance of sweet sweet freedom. (The freedom didn't quite transpire as planned, but ...

Creating success on your own terms.

by

I've always chosen the slightly different path. I love my path--bumpy patches and all. Because it's my own creation, however, there's rarely a way to adjudicate if I'm fast-tracking toward success or lolloping down a dead-end side trail I should git off of as soon as possible. And my latest Live Strong piece was born. 3 ways tell if you're moving toward success on your own ... Continue Reading

Listen To Your Mother.

by

When I auditioned/was accepted into Listen To Your Mother Austin I somehow did so under the false impression it was all about me. The child was little (six) and while she was excited to come and hear me read the *real* highlight of the event for her was there were gummy worms involved (I still have no idea from whence those came). I thought the day was all about me and for me. The royal ... Continue Reading

My experience with an intuitive reading.

by

A few weeks ago I shared my excitement around having my first reading with a spiritual intuitive. I was confident none of you would laugh (you're my people!), yet surprised at the number who confided you've always wanted to do the same and hadn't. Instead of being on the receiving end of Oooh you're going to adore it! as I'd anticipated I was inundated with questions both before and ... Continue Reading

Guatemala here we come.

by

For the past few months the Child has felt nervocited about our impending trip to Guatemala. A melding of the feelings nervous and excited these mixed emotions have left her unable to fall asleep many nights. Tell me a story has become her refrain in a way it hasn't been since she was small. Tell me anything. Tell me a story about you. Tell me a story about us. Just tell me a ... Continue Reading

A Take What You Need Valentines Day.

by

What feels like a lifetime ago the Child and I lolloped through OAKtown taping signs up everywhere. We barely knew the city back then--let alone the many Oakland people we came to adore. In a way, with hindsight, we spread the love more for *ourselves* than for those who might discover it. In the same manner volunteering provides a helper's high the opportunity to image others gleaning ... Continue Reading
