Death of a Phoenix

Several times throughout my life I have had the same question posed to me. Why did I turn out the way that I did? Why didn’t I end up a drug addict, in prison or on welfare? I certainly would … Continue reading →

In my lifetime there were two people who created an enormous amount of pain, abuse and trauma in my family. They were supposed to love and protect us but it didn’t work out that way. My maternal grandmother, E, was … Continue reading →

The Space Between Memories

What is the truth of my life and those in it? Our entwined experiences allow us different truths even when we are at the same place, same time. Our little demons gnawing on our hearts, reaching towards the future but … Continue reading →

We Are Asking To Change The System

We asked Obama and the democratic party to change the system.

Hope won our vote overwhelmingly in the election. Obama reached across the table to the Republicans to solve our crisis & the Republicans refused to work with him…. partisan politics failed ALL Americans. The Lobbyists own America through our politicians, financial systems, insurance & pharmaceutical companies, agriculture, it goes on and on.

The corporations that fuel this infected cancer on every single inhabitant on this planet, have assumed we will continue to be led by their duplicitous actions. They feed us sound bites & videos of  words that mean the most to us….Freedom, Family, God, Hope, Truth, Compassion, Justice, , Patriotism, ….twisted in just the right way to make us lose sight of the TRUTH of those words creating fear of losing it if we don’t trust them. How can we lose what we don’t have?

This the most evil energy is running our country and our lives. Isn’t it time to pay attention to American PEOPLE (not corporations recently deemed people)? Get out the pens & put down the guns.

We are asking our leaders to change the system. Partisan politicking is outrageously unpatriotic to our country. It is not about democrat or republican….It is about changing the system. Make no mistake about that. We can all watch how our elected officials work together to determine who is fired in two years. PAY ATTENTION & VOTE AGAINST your leaders who don’t put people first, not corporations recently deemed people. US! NOW! Demand it and talk about it with other people. Our children’s grandchildren will thank you for it in the end.

Make your list of priorities, conscience, ethics, and values. Cross off the “politics as usual” system by eliminating their employed emissaries.

Why would you vote for them if they are not voting for you?

Wings of Forgiveness

I am in a moment of learning to forgive and ask for forgiveness. In this quest of my truth, I am certain my highest self speaks to me so that it can speak through me. My life is my message … Continue reading →

Promise

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever known, sung by Tracy Chapman

If you wait for me
Then I’ll come for you
Although I’ve traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I’ll return to you
I’ll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
If you’ll be waiting

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that’s warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
If you’ll be waiting

I’ve longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I’ll find my way back to you
Please say you’ll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it’s one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you’ll hold
A place for me
In your heart.

Changing Paradigms

As my relationships are transforming into another paradigm I am overwhelmed….stepping into the realm of growth and maturity, accepting the truth of all the love I afford to everyone but myself.

This is a fire I must walk through alone. No one can do it for me if I am to achieve the glory that fuels the fire.

I release the pain of the past, my thoughts of the future, and unforgiving nature that stops me from accepting my Self…….all that comes with where I’ve been in my life….all that leads me to this perfect moment.

I am so blessed. I live every day with gratitude.

This song by Frou Frou says it all

drink up, baby down
mmm, are you in or are you out
leave your things behind
’cause it’s all going off without you
excuse me, too busy you’re writing your tragedy
these mishaps
you bubble wrap
when you’ve no idea what you’re like

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it’s alright
’cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it’s so amazing here
it’s alright
’cause there’s beauty in the breakdown

it gains the more it gives
and then it rises with the fall
so hand me that remote
can’t you see that all that stuff’s a sideshow

such boundless pleasure
we’ve no time for later now
you can’t await your own arrival
you’ve 20 seconds to comply

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it’s alright
’cause there’s beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it’s so amazing here
it’s alright
’cause there’s beauty in the breakdown

Polite and Pretty

I haven’t slept for several weeks more than a few hours here and there. I don’t want to dream. But I want to sleep. Not possible. This morning I awoke from  a horribly vivid nightmare. This haunting visitor follows me, … Continue reading →
