I value my dream life. Both night dreams and day dreams, it doesn’t matter. Many of the things I love best come to me, in some way… small or large… through the clarity of dreaming. Today I am packing some precious belongings to head for Sadie’s Place, our little cottage in Ashe County, N.C. Most [...]

This morning Steve and I lingered over our morning meditations which prompted a discussion of love at first sight. I’ve always loved Valentines Day. Not for the slurpy, silly, market driven reasons. Not just a romantic notion, but a day for unabashed thoughts of love. I’ve enjoyed making paper valentines with my children, singing at [...]

Logan Ward — Blogs, Pictures, and more on WordPress
For those of you who think on these things, I found one of my entries here. It’s a great book and calls us to think about what the good life, past or present, really means and what it will “cost” us. Let me know what you think.

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! It’s snowing. It’s falling like crazy. There’s a blanket of white covering everything. This is great!
I forgot to feed the birds. I gave away my hot chocolate last week. My work plans will have to change.
I’m putting on a pot of soup beans. Making cornbread. Pulling ham slices from [...]

Steve and I recently added a new voice to our morning ritual. Titled “The Book of Awakening,” Mark Nepo’s daily meditations are a poet’s words of awakening to life after walking down long halls in the school of hard knocks. He takes the places that rubbed down his rough edges, the darkest corners, the [...]
what music remembers

I am the daughter of a musician. I am a child of the 60’s. I am the mother of musicians. I sing, I dance, I think in lyrics. When I hear certain music my body remembers what my head and heart may have forgotten. Music is probably the truest language of my heart And [...]
Be Careful What You Ask

About a year ago I resigned my work as Assistant Director at Laurel Ridge Camp and Conference Center and committed myself to a year’s sabbatical. I told myself I would spend a year outside the work force, explore and ponder, write a blog, catch up with friends and fun and family. But I would not [...]
You’ve Got A Friend

It’s been a hard week for Steve and me. On Monday we learned that one of Steve’s friends took a fall that resulted in a broken neck and fractured skull. We visited his family Monday evening and walked through his studio. Ruffin was a large metal sculptor…an amazing artist and a gentle giant of [...]

On Saturday (the last non-muggy, less than 90 degree day for who knows how long) I spent 10 hours indoors… in air-conditioning (which I am no longer used to having) along with Evangeline (our extremely capable facilitator) and members (residents) of Blue Heron Farm. If it sounds like I’m gearing up to complain, I’m [...]
Water For Elephants

I just finished reading a wonderful book by Sara Gruen. Amazingly, “Water for Elephants” made it into my hands before I’d heard too much about the content. I’m not going to ruin it for you, but do advise you to read it all the way to the end or don’t read it at all. Thank [...]
