Someone on a forum asked if I had ever been to NYC
Yes, I have. Once. I just got to relive the memory and it was fun! I’m copying the post here, just so I have it for the future.__________________________________________________________________________________ Once. Seven or 8 years ago for a couple of days. My daughter was 18 or 19 and had to go to take some classes for a […]
Two years ago today ~ emo post
Today is the 2nd anniversary of my mum’s death. I’ve been a wreck for 2 weeks and it started by feeling swallowed when an out-of-town friend called me and said they found cancer in her mom. I pushed it back for the length of the phone call, though I feel I was a bit too technical in discussing […]
To remain mindful
As week after week goes by I think the Iraq war can become almost abstract to those w/o family or friends there. It is hard to maintain that level of emotion in one’s everyday life. This video is a gentle reminder that the troops are still there, sometimes hard to remember as we are caught […]
The Original Privilege exercise behind the cut
Some things have been changed or eliminated in the blog meme. Computers and cell phones were in the original exercise and no-one had a home computer and cell phones didn’t exist when I was a kid/college age.

The audience is invited to sing along. Hit the refrain and it sounded […]

The drum session – the beat goes on
The workshop I and my recent released from cancer treatment friend attended was absolutely awesome. There was a sacred circle, we were smudged upon entry, and we call the 7 directions which I gather is of the NA tradition. There was grounding, centering, and listening for personal intent as to why we were there and […]
Grief update – now that sounds … odd …
Basically, things do progress as we all know. Some things still hit hard, like thinking in the present tense in regards to my mum like when the weather finally turned and my first thought was how happy my mum is that the weather is warmer. Then to remember. Then to sigh. But I didn’t sob, […]
I think I’m finally making a dent
I’ve been sorting, sifting, boxing and moving various items around my mum’s (someday I’ll learn to call it my) house. It is starting to look like “progress”. My daughter and I are supposed to start painting the little room tomorrow. The “little room” is the smallest bedroom that I picked for my altar and work […]
