Unspoken
So fellow travelers, recently in both my online and “inlife” communities people have shared some deep feelings driven by major events beyond their control. The responses of support have been a moving reminder we are not alone; if we reach out there are many hands are extended to help. I strive always in my life […]

Sanctuary rules
So fellow travelers, sometimes the best response is to meet a challenge head on, as it is presented. My response came as a poem. ( Progress for me, not long ago it would have been a angry rant.) Those Not Welcomed There were little girls in rocking chairs nursing bruises, crying silent tears […]

Harlequin Duck
And now for something completely different. First a new greeting. While I hope my readers are indeed blessed and it is always my intention to be a blessing, I have come to feel we travel this path together and so a new greeting for the trails ahead. So fellow travelers, in times of better weather I […]

Of Jamaican dogsled runs
So blessed readers, a little change of pace for this post, prompted by an Olympic moment and 12 days of Lake Effect snow. Out of sheer desperation, a few weeks ago I spent the better part of the day shoveling a path through our back yard, along our neighbor’s fence to get to the street […]

The Lay of the Land part I: What lies beneath
So blessed readers, there is no doubt this winter has been hard on much of the country. Even the huge avalanche that cut off the city of Valdez Alaska last month was considered extraordinary in an area not easily impressed by snowfall or for that matter avalanches. Ironically the Valdez avalanche was caused by the […]

The Eye of the Tiger
So blessed readers, my topic is anger. A recent post from a Creative Group member got me riled up. Without sharing personal details, I will simply say this writer recounts with sometimes brutal honesty of the struggles to rebuild a life out of addiction and self destruction. The amazing humor embedded in each post draws […]
