As many of you know from reading my blog, I was invited to be one of the speakers on a panel at Willamette Quarterly Meeting, a part of North Pacific Yearly Meeting, October 3rd-5th. It’s strange to have a dream for much of my life not knowing how I would reach it but holding to […]

Do you ever wonder why we meet the people we do? Why our lives come to intertwine with another’s? I was pondering this and I have come to think we are each like a box of crayons. Instead of a variety of colors though, our box is full of one color, just one. When we

I don’t have a lot to say tonight but thought I would post a hi and how are you all doing? Life has been full in this corner of the blogosphere. On October 11th, I am dancing with my tap dancing troupe at the Elsinore Theater so we are rehearsing 3-4 times a week. This
Tonight I took my journal down to the pool to write for a while. It felt so good, just to write about things from my heart. Why don’t I write in my journal more often when I know how much it helps? Dusk was falling gently around me as darkness was slowly flowing over the
Tonight I have been spending the evening out on my porch. If you can count on the weather in Oregon to do anything, you can count on it to be wackily weird. It’s mid September and in the mid 90’s. I think that is kind of like seeing snow falling, and sticking, in April. It
