Privilege
Photo by Dinah (C) I haven’t written in a while because life has been challenging. All of my time has been spent trying to find a new place for my brain injured brother to live. This, in itself, is challenging. But Covid has made it unbelievably moreso. I have had to move him without being …
Life Happens 💜
December 1, 2020 - The NaNoPoBlano Challenge is over. It feels strange, a bit of a let-down. The 30 day challenge kept me motivated. Now it’s up to me...Sigh. While I won’t be blogging daily into eternity, I’m not ready to let go of my streak or momentum. I’m enjoying our connection. But today, I’ll …
The Way -NaNoPoBlano Challenge Day 29/30
Spiritual seekers particularly are on a quest to understand life; we want to examine our own lives and find meaning in what we do and who we are. We find meaning in the seeking itself. Every step along the way is the Way.~ Lama Surya Das 💚www.earthschoolharmony.com The above is copied from a Facebook post …
How could this be worse – NaNoPoBlano Challenge Day 19/30
How could this be worse-A strange and effective coping tool! A friend taught me this little tidbit about 30 years ago and it continues to serve me well. When I was in my late 20’s, I joined a women’s spirituality group. We were quite eclectic. There was a lot of both direct and incidental learning …

Discombobulated-NaNoPoBlano Challenge Day 12
Photo taken by my husband. He’s good at noticing! It’s a discombobulated kind of day. I’m taking another few “first”steps in this long journey back from the big fall. Every “first” is both momentous and trivial at the same time! And, the very fact that each big/little thing is such a huge/trivial deal, is draining! …

Angels among us!- NaNoPoBlano Day 9
Photo from Facebook I first posted the story below on Facebook, in a closed group, in August. I was testing the waters. I wanted to see how it felt to publicly share an experience that some might consider weird or… Whatever. It felt fine. It was received well. So now I’m sharing it publicly. One …
Normal -NaNoPoBlano Day 5
My view of the double rainbow from my room at the rehab center Normal....A week and a half ago, the doctor said that my arm was healed enough to start living more normally. And I’m learning and relearning that normal is relative and that it changes from day to day. Up until July 29, normal …
Remembering…..
Remembering ....I saw the doctor today. He said I can try walking again. After 3 months, he feels that my cracked left kneecap and my broken and surgically reengineered left arm are ready for the next step....literally and figuratively! I reminded him that I walk with crutches...always have. He thinks my arm can handle it. …
WELCOME
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I hope you’ll stop by often to chat and explore. This poor blog has been on my “Someday “ list for like ten years! Pathetic, right? But at least you know right out of the gate that I’m not impulsive. That should be worth something! I’m here, doing this …
