This past Tuesday I went for my annual mammogram. When I entered the waiting room, the staff member facing me was the nurse who crawled into the hospital bed with me on one of my darkest nights following the birth and subsequent death of my son. In my memoir, Digging for the Light: One Woman’s Journey from Heartache to Hope, I … Read More
Love Notes from The Universe
This week has evaporated into a vortex of I don’t know what, Journeyer… Actually, yes I do… I’ve been working hard on myself and on moving The Five Facets Philosophy on Healing forward… Making contacts…researching online course development programs…working on the next book… It’s all equally exciting and tedious work, as many of you know!

It’s Never Too Late
“You know you’re a little late,” she said. I was having lunch with a woman I’ve dealt with many times during the nine year span our children have been coming through our local high school.

Healing and the Two Sides of Size
Size matters. How many times have you heard that statement, seen it on shirts, billboards, or bumper stickers? Two thoughts came to mind when I saw that sign recently, the first being stature, as in height.
