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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
