Have you ever been on a camping trip and needed to start a fire? Did you know that there is a specific way to ignite the fire so it is able to grow? On my first trip many years ago to the out doors, I thought it was just getting a bunch of logs together and setting them on fire. But as I watched someone with more experience than I methodically put the logs in the form of a tepee with space in between each log I was amazed. One of the most important things she told me is the fire must have room to breathe,” you must approach this with intelligence and respect, you cannot smother it or it will not grow and the match that ignites that fire will die.” (more…)

Remodeling Our Nation
Have you ever done a remodeling job in your house? Remember the experience and the frustration? This is how it usually starts for me, I start to get an idea about a project that I want to do because I have become tired of the decor or it is outdated and old and needs remodeling. I can’t help but think that this is what we find ourselves in as the changes in our financial system and those around the world are collapsing. Ouch!

Feeling Vulnerable
With less than a week until my contraption comes off my foot, and feeling cocooned in my home for 5 weeks, I decided to go out to lunch today with my son. As he was about to step out the door, he saw a flash of light and seconds later a roaring thunder that sounded like a bomb. I had never heard lightning strike so loud. Our hearts were racing, we got scared out of our wits. Sparky, my Labrador’s legs were shaking and we decided to stay in. Needless to say, my laptop computer got fried to a crisp, even though it was grounded. The external drive connected to it also got fried.(Good thing I also have this desktop) (more…) -
Its a Beautiful Day..New Life Abounds
I took this picture couple of months ago. I was crouching down taking a picture of the caterpillar against the sky when all of a sudden, this butterfly appeared and I snapped the picture. It was a magical moment for me. That is how life should be…full of many magical moments…why not?
Today feels like a refreshing day full of sunshine.

Almost Ready to Fly
There is always anticipation for something new. Sometimes you feel it in the air or its just simply an excitement of an arrival of something, like the birth of a baby. You are in wonder of the awe of the magic of life. In this process in the last month, in an conscious yet unconscious way, because of the way I have allowed myself to feel at rest and allow the healing to take place in a peaceful environment, even knowing in the back of my mind that there is definitely alot to stress about.
