Last Saturday, I took a small group to Wichita Wildlife Refuge for a mini-retreat, called Pathway to Presence. Our focus was being present – not only while hiking, but also after we’d returned to our day-to-day lives. The day started out rainy and a little cold, but we decided to trust the universe and by [...]

Sacred Spring in the Wichita Mountains

I’ve been working on a retreat for my sister’s church group and made another scout trip down to Wichita Wildlife Refuge this weekend. It was WARM and spring was springing up positively everywhere I looked! On days like this, sacred just seems to jump up and kiss me on the nose! I wish it could [...]
The Path

I recently finished Julie Cameron’s memoir, “Floor Sample” and loved an idea she spoke of often… she takes long walks outside nearly every day and she values her walks as a time to meditate on the path she’s supposed to take in her life. Often, she receives suggestions of little things she should do – [...]

After our eight mile hike, a loooong (and totally worth it) wait for a Meer’s Burger and the drive home, I have to say I was [...]

I’ve spent the better part of the the last three years learning to swim with the current; to stop struggling so hard and just go with the flow. Maybe that’s why our day on the barrier reef near Grand Cayman rankled so badly.
Don’t get me wrong, the water was crystal clear, the air cleaner than [...]
How Does My Garden Grow

My new garden is finished!! Remember this? …
Check it out NOW…
This is the other side…
And the right-hand side from another angle…
And grass under the Bradfords!! I never thought I’d be so excited about something as simple as grass, but this has been a mud-hole for as long as we’ve lived here (10+ years), so this [...]
Trusting the Moon

“We are unafraid to the same degree that we experience the presence of the universe in our body. Every time we open ourselves up to more power, more of the old fear gets flushed to the surface and released… The more light we allow within us, the brighter the world we live in [...]
