Being unemployed. These words resonate with me…not like they did when I was a young woman, when life lay before you and jobs were plentiful, especially when you had youth, beauty and common sense to count as skills. Ironically the… Read full post »

May the Bluebird of Happiness .....
Imagine....
What if we imagine our lives as one candle, lit only when we are born, then sheltered from the winds of life until one day the flame just goes out?
Trying to make sense of life and to not waste the one thing we do have, time, is a most difficult… Read full post »
A Vulture Is Always Lurking.
I was putting up some curtains when I happen to look out of the bay window.
Seeing a disturbance in my spa, I strained leaning closer to the window for a better look. Water was moving and yet the waterfall spilling over from the spa had stopped… Read full post »
When you have a vacancy...
Do you find throughout your life the emotional side often is left with a big "vacancy"? Are you sometimes feeling like a motel, renting out your heart and/or body to the person who seem to show up at your neediest and you are content to have the vacancy filled… Read full post »
After 710 Sunsets...
After all these sunsets I find:
1. Life does go on without you.
2. It's harder to care for yourself than someone else.
3. Your mother forgot what day it was.
4. It is possible to love and be loved.
5. Love means always saying you're sorry...and meaning… Read full post »

This past year, so far, has been a long road. One I alternately simplify and managed to complicate.
I needed to grow, to stretch my boundaries and have in many ways. I began my spring cleaning, trying to go through new doors even before the old one has… Read full post »
Defining Your Moment
Sitting at the kitchen table the other night I absently look up at the clock over the pantry door. It’s 7:47 and I’m having my dinner. Nothing unusual. Remembering I have an atomic clock (ironically I think) which self-adjusts during daylight savings times I turn to look ov

My Very Late Review of "Love Ranch" the movie.
