BELIEVE … Sorini Strong

Today, I simply ask that you pray with all our community for miracles for my childhood friend Pete Sorini and his wife Stephanie, their children Mar, Bella, and Gia, and all their family. Thanks in advance. I rely on you and I love you

Love is ALL there is.

About this thing called life today … I have been taking a photo from my window every day, to get some perspective on my perspective. There is no photo of the view from my window today. I was at a funeral for a great Irish woman here in Butte and taking a photo would have just been too tacky. What I […]

Completion ~ Access to a Truly Remarkable Day

Today was a truly remarkable day. Truly remarkable. It didn’t start out that way. I was at the dentist’s office this morning, dealing with an abscess tooth. I was sore and nauseated. As the day unfolded, all of that seemed to just be the groundwork for a truly remarkable day. In 2008, I took nearly 500 CDS from their cases […]

The trouble is we think we have time.

“The trouble is you think you have time.”  ~ attributed to Buddha During the past five days, I have seen, heard of, and read of no fewer than ten sudden, unexpected deaths of young people in and around our community.

This weekend, I participated for the first time ever as a vendor, offering photos for sale. These are photos I took because I thought something looked pretty cool, and apparently, others   thought the same. So I was invited to participate as an artist. Really? Me, an artist? And so it was. The venue was a brand new one, more geared to […]

Five years later, I celebrate!

Tomorrow marks five years since I walked out of the doors of a ‘health center’ in south Kansas City, Missouri for the last time. I arrived, hopeful and energetic (well, as energetic as I could be after nearly four years of being mysteriously ill). During my pre-treatment appointments, I was promised that I would be a patient for three to […]
