I used to be a regular contributor to this blog, always on the 31st of the month. I “resigned” from regularly posting earlier this year, but feel prompted, prodded and guided to add a post this month. I no longer make a list of resolutions at the end of/beginning of a year, feeling that the list [...]

The Risk of Asking . . . and of Getting an Answer
During a recent telephone conversation with a very dear friend of mine in Atlanta (where I used to live), I was reminded about the risk of asking God/Spirit/The Universe a question. The answer can be yes, it can be no, or it can be maybe/not now. I’ve certainly heard (and learned!) that lesson before, but it [...]
The Risk of Living in the Unknown
Most of the time, I like to think and/or pretend that I have some sense of what’s going on in my life, not only right now but in the (at least) near future, as well. Lately, my life has reminded me, yet again, that I have no $&% clue! I am now in the process [...]
I don’t know what the headline should be this time . . .
The life I’m living right now and the place I find myself right now aren’t feeling very good. Even as I write that, I know that life itself IS good, it’s just not feeling very good to be in the place space in which I find myself right now. Why? Because I don’t know what I want [...]
A Risk Review
Throughout the time that I’ve been contributing to this blog, I have often written my entry prior to the date to which I’d committed (the 31st of the month in whatever months have a 31st), even though I’ve never actually published it early. In the past, I’ve usually done that because I wanted to get [...]
Feeling Fearless and Fierce
It’s official . . . I am “unemployed” . . . and I am feeling fearless and fierce in that reality and statement. Friday was my last day at a “real job,” and I am now actively, excitedly, fearlessly, fiercely on my path in my own businesses and as my own boss. I suspect that I [...]
Seeing/Identifying Myself Differently
The last time I posted, I was on my way to a quilting class at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. The risks were many (as elaborated), and I not only survived the experience, I thrived. And now I have to do some more risking . . . What am I risking? Seeing [...]
Risking Myriad Risks All At Once
I’m writing this blog post early (on May 26th) because I’ll actually be out in the world taking risks when it’s due to be published (on the 31st). I have been a “craftsy” person most of my life. The types of crafts I have done over the years have varied and changed and currently include [...]
The Risk of Finding Myself/My Past
I have recently returned to therapy, having assimilated the learnings and experiences of my last therapy experience and being willing, yet again, to peel the next layer of the onion. The new-to-me therapist with whom I am now working focuses on issues with/of food and body image, working with her clients (me!) to find out [...]
