I started this week with great guilt in my heart. This stemmed from the thought that this year I have yet to enter the doors of my favorite gym. Last week I wrote about moving through January’s calendar and how effective I’ve been. While revising this, I noticed that I included all my to-dos, but … Continue reading Words Close at Hand
One of the most pleasing elements of this new year, is how much I have already accomplished. By the third day of this month, I was almost through January’s calendar.

I look forward to January every year for it is the time when many catalogs displaying heirloom seeds arrive in my mailbox. As a farmer/gardener, this brings me good joy as the careful planning process begins. I use the word careful in the context that although I want to plant so much, I must limit … Continue reading A Life So Simple & Uncomplicated

The kind that takes the homeless hostage and causes stray animals to dig deep to escape it. Oh! I pray Lord, … Continue reading The Drawing of His Love
I am always fascinated by the theories of autonomy and relatedness as basic social needs and cultural paradigms. Definitions differ, but both quite significant for understanding chosen paths.

23rd of October, 2019-11:00 am (MST) On a phone call, on a balmy day last summer my ultra-feminist friend said to me…Wear slacks! Don’t wear a skirt!

October’s Theme: 16th of October, 2019 (5 am MST) Inner Solitude: The Purity of My Holy Father in Me Yesterday was a day of many sighs. A sigh for this, a sigh for that.
