First Night.

First night. My ancestors. I was in my early 40’s when I asked my mother to find me a menorah. It made her “kvell,” when I asked. She was so happy that I think she dropped everything and ran to the store! She called the same day to share with me that she had found […]

The Coat of Many Colors…A Short Story for Your Day…

He glides through the town with the greatest of ease, an urban bedouin, a bull dog bedecked in a jesters collar, his faithful companion.

Rooster crows pink light weaves through dark green pine boughs, Mist leaves her dew on the frost covered ground soaking my boots and soul, The smell of hay and earth fills the air as steam rushes from wild nostrils, A new morning, a new day rises

Shall we dance?

Meet Crystal. From the moment I was introduced to HER, I felt a connection and deep desire to get to know HER. She resides at the therapeutic riding center where I am working. I asked to work with her, to see if she felt a connection to me. It’s been a couple of months, since […]

Dancing the Mystery with DreamWeaver Sunday

  Dancing with DreamWeaver Sunday. A birthday gift for my dad’s 79th. He’s four months cancer free! DreamWeaver Sunday is a beautiful mare I rescued from a very bad situation and a nasty horse trader. I have no history about her except that she’d had a 9-year old baby that had been with her and […]

It’s Time For Adventure

I just got off a call with my Creative Awakenings Approved Facilitators. Wow! These women ROCK AND ROLL! We spent a juicy couple of hours brainstorming and throwing ideas in the Creative Awakenings stew pot. What’s cooking? An online offering just for you, fellow travelers.  A mini-adventure. Think September…busy days of summer have come to […]

You Were My Rock…

You were my rock and my cheerleader. You told me I was capable of anything, even when I didn’t believe. Your beauty eclipsed the sun and moon + was my cross to bear. You were honest + forthright, no matter the consequence. You taught me to laugh, sing and dance. Oh how you loved to […]
