I’ve been tagged by Tawny to do a 5×5 meme. I have to admit that until this tag, I had no idea what a meme even was, but now I am oh-so-hip to the meme (rhymes with “dream” and is just a list of questions that you answer, then pass on to somebody else to [...]

Sacred Secrets

I was able to spend some time with my family this weekend. They live in a small town in southern Oklahoma and I don’t get to see them nearly enough. This weekend was my nephew Dannin’s 14th birthday and my sister invited me down to share birthday cake.
For a little over a year now, I’ve been [...]
Inspiration from the Universe?
Posted in Creativity on April 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
When I work on my art journal, I usually keep a huge piece of watercolor paper underneath so I don’t make too much of a mess of my table. I’ve had the same piece there for several weeks now and keep noticing interesting little squiggles and patterns developing – I’ve stamped on it, stuck the [...]
Who Am I and What Am I Doing Here??
Posted in Family, Inspiration on April 24, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Last weekend, I was chatting with my daughter and a friend of ours about our collective futures – they are 25ish and just about to venture into the big, wide, career world, so it’s not surprising that they both feel a little nervous. I am pushing 45 (hard), so you’d think I would have a clue – [...]
Magnetic Poetry

Several weeks ago, I ran across Magnetic Poetry Online. It’s a fun little flash game that allows you to grab magnetic words from a selected set and stick them to a blank slate, forming little poems, which you can then submit for viewing in another area of the site. I haven’t submitted any poems, but I [...]

Hug Somebody

If you’ve turned on the TV at all over the last several days, you’ve probably seen something about the dire state our planet is in. You might be inclined to storm the capitol, write your congressmen (and women), and demand the reforms necessary to SAVE OUR PLANET FROM DISASTER!!
I don’t mean to discount any of [...]
My Name is Awakening

I’ve been playing with Susan Wooldridge’s poemcrazy a little bit tonight…
yesterday i was Silence
today i am Bookstore Baby
seeking answers in the pages of bestsellers
tomorrow i will be Daytripper
wishing against wish for something more, something different
outside i am Truth and Knowledge Seeker
inside i am Weaver of Lies
spinning endless stories
to keep me forever hidden from myself
my real [...]
Sacred Service

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” ~Mahatma Gandhi
As the weekend closes and I begin to anticipate the start of another work week, my thoughts seem to be drawn to this idea of service.
Several weeks ago, I participated in a seva practice as part of my Yoga [...]
Harmony

Wanted to share a poem and an art journal page in honor of our first Spring choir performance this afternoon…
to sing
to blend my voice
with the voices of others
to study
words and notes
with heads and hearts
to honor
those who set the world to song
with our humble interpretations
to entertain
those who would listen
with the gift of our song
to share
the music… [...]
