It is so difficult for me to pick a single favorite anything – song, show, food. I am a lot better at lists of favorites. But still, if there were one prayer from my project that I would like to be shared, I feel this one took form wonderfully. I think the path it walksContinue reading “Confronting Trauma (Prayers for Living)”

On Writing “Dearest Lover”
I have long loved poetry. It is such a beautiful art form. I think the seed was always in me, and then was nurtured by a love for musical storytelling. Listening to music gave me my first introduction to love poems. The deep expression, the weight of emotion. It had the potential to be soContinue reading “On Writing “Dearest Lover””
On Writing “Prayers for Living”
The concept for the “Prayers for Living” writing collection came to me on a winter night. As my spirit came upon the idea, I decided it was something I could and should explore, so I allowed myself to step down this path.

Taking time for alignment can keep me grounded as I go through the year, and every quarter I try to check backContinue reading “New Year Habit Setting”
Parade the Circle
This was my first “event” with my Nikon. Every year in Cleveland, Ohio there is a Parade the Circle event in the heat of June, and it is literally a parade of artwork – like a joyous, living art exhibit. These are the images captured at this particular year’s Parade the Circle. It was soContinue reading “Parade the Circle”
Meditation – Uncertainty
The words I use in meditation come to me out of necessity. My second meditation came when I was dealing with uncertainty – wondering what would come and what would stay. These words came when I needed them and often give me strength. Through this meditation I am able to accept the fleeting nature ofContinue reading “Meditation – Uncertainty”
Love Like…
I want our love to be like a slow sunrise and for our spirits to stand, warmed in its expanding glow I want our love to be like endless sea and for us to be like distant shores connected by its every ebb and flow I want our love to be like stars in midnightContinue reading “Love Like…”
