  • I'll Just Lie....so They Believe They're Right.

    October 2, 2009

    •      From as far back as I can remember I have been told from my parents, leaders, teachers, and instructors that "there is a right way and wrong way to go about things." After a time, I taught myself that it is better to let them believe they are right, than to argue the point. And so, I lie (or is that considered fibbing?) so that people are satisfied that the end result I have ...
  • Wait..goodbye

    September 25, 2009

    • Beautiful young woman, standing on the beach. Gossamer wings, a white silk gown, sparkling tiara, and sneakers?How does on say goodbye to golden wringlets. Eyes which shine with the innocense of love and unconditional trust. A bottle filled with chocolate milk, apple cheeks and bowed mouth.How does one say goodbye to baby teeth, silken skin, pudding hands.Tears can rip at a heart, break a heart, ...
  • Whistling Pines of Home

    September 23, 2009

    • How do I speak this tale of a once bleeding heart, my dear fellow human beings on this trying and often complicated journey called life? Indeed, the unwavering affirmation of life's spiritual dimension got me through in God's loving care. Sometime, during early 2002, in Geneva, Switzerland, I got the devastating pill of race and colour based rejection plus unreciprocated love from an Argentine ...
  • Ubuntu and the power of forgiveness

    September 16, 2009

    • As I prepare to write this entry, I think in a way that forgiveness is a difficult for many of us as understanding can be. To forgive those that have wronged us can be a great challenge, and a difficult thing to anticipate being able to do.  For me, forgiveness has never been that tough for me. In part, because I have learned how to be a doormat my whole life, and just thought it was ...

  • Emotional Rescue

    June 10, 2009

    • June 10th, 2009 Emotional Rescue Do you have a  tender heart and experience strong emotions? Can you cry for no decent reason, and laugh a few minutes later?  Does it feel like other people’s emotions sometimes invade your own?  What about intuition and knowing things you shouldn’t? If  you said yes to all of the above then welcome to the club.  When growing up, I ...
  • The Difference You Made in My Life

    May 13, 2009

    • Reading and commenting on some of the post honoring Mother’s Day,  brings my mind to the emotional words of wisdom from my mother.  And it still amazes me today that I remember every word, detail, and the power her words have had on me as a child, that lifted and brought me forward in my life today.  That I wonder, how much even more our lives could be, if recalling on only the loving words ...
  • My Sober Heart

    May 12, 2009

    • May 12  MY SOBER HEART   The heart I have today is not the heart I have had all my life.  Cells age and are replaced.  I slough off what I can no longer use and rejuvenate with fresh layers.  My sobriety is the same.  Past step work is revamped and approached in innovative ways.  Yesterday's prayers are replaced with today’s; today’s meditations will be dispelled by tomorrow’s.  ...

    May 10, 2009

    • May all mothers know that God does hear the cry of love, hope, and joy we bring to the children in every prayer that’s said from the heart.  Truly,Catherine
