BURNING THE BRUSH

A pile of brush and limbs has been collecting in the northwest field of our farm. All the fallen branches and leaves and other rubbish gets thrown onto that pile. We've been afraid to burn it because the weather has been so dry. Month after month we watched the pile grow until it was way over our... Sign in to see full entry.

I'M A CELEBRITY!

The manager of the healing center recently asked me to do a radio talk show with him. I agreed but never could get the day right. As I was running out the door late this morning, my calendar reminded me that it was today. I hadn't prepared! Frantically, I grabbed my manager's number and called him... Sign in to see full entry.

A NIGHT IN THE CAVE

My husband and I ate dinner in silence after a failed attempt at conversation. The rest of the evening was spent busying ourselves with household chores. My husband put together a bed frame in a spare bedroom upstairs. I folded laundry and paid bills downstairs. We don't live alone anymore so there... Sign in to see full entry.

THE LESSON IS . . .

... that there are still terra cotta warriors buried within me that need to be excavated and brought to light for the ghosts that they are. After days of hurting and crying and talking and hurting some more, a scene from the movie Peaceful Warrior unearthed some ghosts from my past. Yes, it's true... Sign in to see full entry.

REPEATING A PREVIOUS LIFE EXPERINCE . . .WHAT'S THE LESS

In my previous life as a child, my parents adopted another baby. She came out of the chute acting out and stayed that way into her adulthood. My mother used to sleep with her and I can remember lying in the next room hearing them argue at night. Into her teens years, my adopted sister became totally... Sign in to see full entry.

THE EBB & FLOW

It feels like I'm ebbing today. Even after playing three soccer game in 12 hours, my mood is still less than wonderful. I'd like to blame it on someone else. Unfortunately, believing that we are the creators of our own lives really screws with the blame business! Emmett Fox says that spiritual... Sign in to see full entry.

Welcoming a Newcomer and What Have I Done?

I've encouraged our feral child to post her writing on Blogit. Last night she told me that she was probably going to sign up soon. When she does, I'll let you all know so you can read her posts. A sneak preview of her writing is in my previous post Where Has My Magic Gone? Please welcome here when... Sign in to see full entry.

A LITTLE COMPULSIVE BUT I'M OKAY WITH THAT TODAY!

Okay, so I made a decision about my job. I asked myself those questions: "What would I do if I weren't afraid? What would I tell my best friend?" The answers were 'give my notice at the spa or cut my days to one night a week' and 'follow your heart'. I shot off three e-mails to my day spa employers... Sign in to see full entry.

LATE AT NIGHT AND ALL ALONE

I'm sitting at the kitchen island with only the glow of my computer screen to light my way. It was either get up and write for awhile or lie in bed having random conversations in my head with people who weren't there. It could be any of number of things keeping me awake long after my husband started... Sign in to see full entry.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO WORK TODAY

I didn't want to go to work today in the salon and day spa where I work as a massage therapist four days a week. There were no appointments on my schedule. Boredom always gives me either too much time to spend in my head or to look at beauty magazines that make me feel ugly and prompt me to ask... Sign in to see full entry.
