It’s Hard to be Still when the Baby Ravens are Screaming
Excerpt from Sheri’s upcoming book: Shovel S**T, Carry Water. Today’s Awakening: In one of her books, I think it was The Places that Scare you, Pema Chodron talks about noticing her restless mind, mimicked by the barking dogs of Nepal. Today, while cleaning the barn and performing my “Shove S**T, Carry Water” duties, I had an awakening that […]
Sometimes you’ve got to be courageous enough to destroy something, to reveal the truth.
Today’s mission was to do just that. I began these paintings in an online class I took part in this fall. (Fig 1 and 2). To be honest, I never finished the class. I was looking for a shot of Vitamin C-reativity and it didn’t rock my world the way I’d hoped it would. I’ve been […]

FB Excerpt WARNING: Today’s Judgmental Rant: I am ruminating this evening about what it means to treat animals with the dignity and respect they deserve. I understand that each of us has different ideas and financial abilities to caretake our animals, but today I visited a local boarding facility and I was in abject horror […]
The Holidays of Many Altar
The Holidays of Many Altar, with the first candle of Chanukah lit in the menorah my mother bought for me many years ago. One year, I asked her to look for one, after so many years of turning away from the “religion,” and I think she ran to the Jewish store that day! LOL! It […]
Today’s Awakening..
Today’s Awakening: “I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, […]

Last night after writing this post on FB, I received a call from the barn manager where Dreamweaver Sunday lives: Today’s Awakening: As my relationship with Dreamweaver Sunday continues to deepen, I am in awe of her ability as a healing partner.
