- Melancholy day. Melancholy if you allowed it to be, if you allowed the sullen glob of sky, a heavy grey like substance squeezed from a tube, that is long past its expiry date, to penetrate and smother you with its dreary suffocating smear. And the fields around us have all transformed into brown lakes, the result of the deluge in the past few days and the poor bewildered cows, ...

- Thank you for checking my blog. I believe the best way to learn about me is through my personal vision and mission statement, which I authored in January 1996. For Myself: Using my gift of creativity and imagination, I will continue to invent the future by expressing my visions courageously in words and actions. I will always be a professional – honoring integrity, justice, kindness, and will ...

- I wish that I could wrap up my life. Fold it into white tissue paper bound with a teal blue bow. I wish that I could place the wrapping up of my life where the sun is not too hot nor the wind too chill. Where the rain is ever soft and never has a sharp biting tongue. Where I place the wrapping up of my life there will forever be music, that sings like the gentlest wind, with wisdom left in ...

- Forgive me for posting this as a blog rather than as a comment, but I didn’t know any other way to share an image of my own art. Keiko, thank you so much for introducing us to Kumada Chikabo, an extraordinary human being. I had been depressed concerning my work and reading the interview with this wise man was like listening to the voice of a mentor. “I am like a leaf, floating ...

- I recently sold "It's Your Choice! Decisions that Will Change Your Life" to Loving Healing Press. It should be released before the end of this year. I'm one of those people who are always looking for wisdom. Whether it's from the mouth of a babe, the sight of the ocean, something you are reading, or a decision you made that turned out to not be so wise and boy are you ever going ...

- September 9 HARVEST TIMING The harvest fits in the growing season and the oak fits inside the acorn. My sober mind fits right in my sober time. The soul of everything rubs across the hind leg of a cricket to sing. The infinite machinery of the universe spins but you stand there questioning the existence of a Higher Power. Well, that’s who you are, but I have only one question for ...

- September 5 DO NOT BE A FRAUD “Fake it ‘til you make it" is like saying "keep drinking ‘til you get sober,” complains my sponsor.“But what about the things I can’t do yet?" I ask.“You work on them; that’s all. You work. You adjust your attitude, practice the steps, carry your behind to meetings and talk with me and the other people in your network.” ...

- I went to a Spiritual Parenting class last night and am happy to say that the one little tool I walked out of there with has already proven to be well worth the effort.The lesson came from a book written by Doc Childre, the title which escapes me. He apparently founded something called Heart Math which I had not heard about until last night. Here is what we did:We took sometime to visualize a ...

- August 31 CHANNELING It’s a full feeling to be a channel. Only an empty feeling when it’s blocked at the base of my spine and God can’t go to my head. The river flows through me and my banks will hold. Excuses dam me up and leave a dry and lifeless basin, with tributaries taxed for usefulness. Staying in the groove conveys my Higher Power’s will without need of my furrowed ...

- August 29 SATISFACTION Satisfaction is like a marble in my pocket. Formed when correctness was still red hot and my sponsor rolled my mind until I was whole. I sigh and square my shoulders. I know I am up to any task. I am skilled with my tools and know well the talents of my intimates and helpmates. I am not invincible but I am capable. I value who and what I am today. I ...
