Barbara, Again, thank you for the wonderfully insightful comment. Like you, I cannot imagine a world without words. Your life, thus far, seems to have taken you to many different places. Didi's story, as well as that of her daughters, seems to me...

Hi Luz, I haven't responded to this discussion because my answer to it is found in my blogs referencing my grandmother. As you know, she was the one person who was always there for me. She loved me unconditionally and encouraged me to be creative...

Excellent post! I have been following my bliss for over seven years now. It has not always been easy--but it has been worth it. Your piece reminded me of a quote I read a long time ago, so I looked it up. Ching Ning Chu said, "Acquire the courage ...

“The end is in the beginning.” T.S. Eliot When I was a child, my teachers and parents said I was a daydreamer—that I didn’t know how to focus. They were wrong, well, at least about the focusing part. I had no problem focusing. The truth of the ma...

I believe the writing process is a healing process. It is with this in mind, that I am beginning a new series of posts entitled “Heal Yourself: Heal Your World.” This is the first installment in that series. Personal disclosure is not something a...

Okay, here it is, prepare yourselves. The gods and goddesses have gone mad. Seriously, they have all lost their minds. Either that or they have taken a vacation. Why else would they let the demi-gods and goddesses get so out of hand? Now, I unders...

It's Time to Jump!

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Albert Einstein

Paying homage to the rational mind comes naturally in our fast-paced consumer-driven society. We want what we want when we want it. Food, clothes, homes, cars, sex, information—the object of desire matters less than our insatiable desire to possess it; and the rational mind with its controlled intellect and superior abil… Continue

It's Time For a Vision Quest

"I learned . . . that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic striving, but it comes into us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness." Brenda Ueland

Over the past four months, I have spent a great deal of time building up my social networking sites and writing blogs; and while I have spent some time working on my third novel—I have not been givin… Continue

Heal Yourself: Heal Your World (Part Three)

“What is the source of our first suffering? It lies in the fact that we hesitated to speak. It was born in the moment when we accumulated silent things within us.” Gaston Bachlard

The Troops Have Landed

I will be posting part three of my “Heal Yourself: Heal Your World,” series in two weeks. In it, I will continue my discussion on the healing aspects of writing by looking at some of the better-known healing for writing practices. For now, sit back; grab a cup of coffee, or tea, which ever you prefer, and have a giggle or two on me.

“I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.” Phyllis Diller

It’s summer, and the troops have landed. They arriv… Continue

Heal Yourself: Heal Your World (Part Two)

“The end is in the beginning.” T.S. Eliot

When I was a child, my teachers and parents said I was a daydreamer—that I didn’t know how to focus. They were wrong, well, at least about the focusing part. I had no problem focusing. The truth of the matter was that I just didn’t like their focal points. My teachers’ focal points were rigid and confining. My parents’ focal points were chaotic and painful. I tried to adjust; I really did, but convergence was impossible. I had no other choice. In order… Continue
