When I was six years old, I was spilled into the deep end of the Y pool intentionally during swim lessons. They wanted me to catch up to the other kids and tread water. It did not work. I had to be pulled from the water by my younger brother. As a teenager, I was taking a tippee test at […]
Dumbledore’s Beard
This is one of a series of “Stalacticles” ~ a collection of photos of icicles in the back alleys of Butte.
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 […]
The World is Your Stage ~ Results from a Workshop
This photo was taken from the bridge near my hotel in London, the setting the last week of September for The World is Your Stage Workshop. Even though I knew from others who had attended before me that it would be an amazing weekend, I was unprepared for the depth, breadth, and reach of the transformation available. To describe the contents […]
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 […]
Crying from Every Pore
The thing that is most important to me in life is that all people have the access and opportunity to live their lives out loud, fully expressing what matters to them and being the difference they are committed to being. It’s Saturday night, and I just climbed from an Epsom salt bath where I was sipping a hot cup of […]
A Clean Bill of Health
Three short years ago, a doctor said words I never expected to hear. “You have a clean bill of health.” After more than seven years of dealing with doctors, labs, blood draws, medication, therapies, treatments, shots, IVs, patches, and other things that I have thankfully forgotten, I was free. I was free to live. I was free to create. I […]
“Do one thing every day that scares you.” ~ For 100 days?!
In honor of the beauty of the fall and after returning from London where I participated in “The World is Your Stage” I knew I had to take on something great! October 2, 2014, I took on a new challenge. In keeping with this Eleanor Roosevelt quote, I am seeking something to do each day that scares me. So far, […]
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. The juxtaposition of this with the start of school and all the first-day, new-clothes, fresh-faced photos is a challenge. Recently, […]
