Tanka No.130
Greetings All! Please join me in celebrating a form of poetry I adore called Tanka. For those not familiar with Tanka, simply, it is short-form poetry consisting of five lines, a cousin to three-line Haiku.

A Healing Toolbox
If you’ve been reading this blog for the past ~18 months, you’ll know I tend to not post or interact online when I’m not feeling well due to Ms. MS. I could go into the details of why I haven’t posted for two weeks, what makes things difficult at times, or rant about this crappy…
A Woman with Heart ~ Sara Healy
It’s my pleasure to dedicate this post to Sara Healy. Sara has enough heart to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool. Well, that, and maybe the entire universe. Twice. My step-daughters gave me the glass-blown heart you see in the image above and I’m quite enamored by it. I love to feel the weight of it…

We have a delayed order of business to discuss. As I mentioned I would in my latest post, I did, indeed, choose a winner at random on Sunday to receive a crisp new copy of Rebel Buddha from yours truly. I apologize for my delay in sharing the results. Feel free to send Ms. MS…

A small but related detail: okay, I’ll admit it, I spent at least 75% of my childhood pretending I was a superhero, most…

Greetings All, On the cusp of the new year, I’d like to send my heartfelt gratitude for your presence in 2010. I’ve had such rich experiences and met so many wonderful people in 2010, my heart is swelling with gratitude and love. Thank you. I am closing comments for this post, but I invite you…
A Life With Purpose
I happened across a post today that made me well up with emotion, over at that darling Caroline’s site. (If you haven’t met her yet, you really should. If you like photography that gives you goosebumps, honest writing, and jolts of inspiration, please visit this muse often — and bring flowers.) Maybe I’m just touchy-feely,…
