I want to share something with you that I read a few days ago. I know you must be saying, “Oh, here she goes again -quoting Mark Nepo!” Yep. That’s just what I’m going to do. You see I read Mark Nepo every morning from his book “The Book of Awakening.” What a way to [...]
Risking Accepting Her Gift
There I was . . . smack-dab in the middle of my pity-party, when she gave me her gift. It was truly grace. Un-asked for. Un-deserved. Pure gift. There it was on the kitchen counter. “Take yourself and a friend to the movie,” our pet sitter said, “Buy yourselves some popcorn.” $40.00 My family had [...]
At the Last Minute
I have no idea where the time went between my last post and this one. I know we went to Atlanta to attend the graduation of a granddaughter. Maybe that was it. Time flew. Suddenly, today I was aware that I have to write, for my turn on the blog is tomorrow!!! Yikes! So, I [...]

An innocent & very fun family game of backyard Touch Football, not too long ago, ended up being a) very laugh-filled and b) yielding for me a Hand Injury that surprised us all. Turns out, with every one of us taking turns going out for passes and running across the grass, the tendon in my left-hand [...]
Reporting on Risk
As I look back over the last few months I wonder which my recent risks has really paid off. Most of them have, in one way or another, but one stands out. Top of my risk list is admitting that I can’t provide everything my mother needs as she ages. She has a disease that [...]
Whole Lotta Riskin’ Goin’ On
After blogging here for over a year, I’ve come to a few conclusions: You can’t work with, hang with or converse much with Laura Biering without some riskiness rubbing off on you. Risk is integral to the larger picture of living a conscious life and that knowledge, for me at least, is what makes risking [...]
