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 [...]
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 [...]

You know, it’s funny: in the detective books I read (Baldacci, Palmer, de Mille) when there’s “an old sage, weathered detective” in the office they always say, `she is in her fifties…’ At 52 and now on the other [...]
I see you
It was risky but I did it. It may not sound like much, but I went to see Avatar. This is a movie that I have heard about for months. It is getting rave reviews and it is causing such a stir in various conversations. I had severe reservations. Not the least of which was [...]
