I recently returned from a two-week West Coast Book Tour. I learned so much from this experience and the first lesson was to let go of expectations. First of all, I was supposed to go on this trip with another friend of mine. Without going into details, she and I parted ways which left me with my strong awareness that this was all happening for a reason – I needed to Let Go and Let God. …..
Having been married twice through my 72 years of life, I have come to realize a few things about marriage. First, never rush into it. I heard a marriage counselor say that people should wait two years before deciding to tie the knot so that the fog of infatuation and lust will subside. I found it wise to carefully watch how my beloved treats wait staff, children and animals as it shows insight into the heart of…..
My heart is breaking. My grey tabby cat Bobby has crossed the rainbow bridge. It all happened on Monday, July 15 around 7:40 am. I remember petting him as I awoke from my slumber. He liked to sleep between my calves making it difficult to turn. He had such a beautiful face that was filled with love. I couldn’t help picking him up and holding him in my arms and kissing him. As I stumbled to…..
I’m sitting in the back yard on my cabana. My husband left for a five-day men’s retreat in Vancouver and I was looking for some time alone. So, this is perfect and I get to do what I want when I want! I do miss our morning cuddles and pillow talk about how we slept and sharing our dreams. I also think about what it would be like to be single again. I’m sure I would like parts of…..
“We are never prepared for what we expect.” ~ James A. Michener My friend Mary and I embarked on a 2-day road trip adventure through Utah and Colorado before attending The Children of the Light Conference. I had skied in Utah and Colorado when I was in my 30’s and 40’s, but I never saw how beautifully green it is. I fell in love with the mountains all over again! Of course, we had to stop in at…..
I had so much fun at this retreat in wine country – Temecula. There was much laughter, hugs and love to go around. There is something very powerful about women coming together to share experience, strength and hope with one another through story telling. I was inspired by the courage and strength I witnessed throughout the weekend. The topic for our Saturday meetings was acceptance. One of my favorite sayings is “God grant me the serenity to accept the…..
Last weekend was very special. I had been on the wait list for a women’s retreat in Temecula for the past two years and finally there was an opening for me to attend. Because my husband and I are sharing our new 2016 Pruis 4, I needed a means to get to Temecula. I gave my husband two options – to have a romantic getaway Thursday night in Temecula and then drive me to the women’s retreat…..
As I look upon this Mother’s Day I reflect about being a mother and the joys and challenges that brings. I have been blessed with two wonderful sons who are now in their 40s. Sometimes it’s hard to believe I have boys that age since I don’t feel a day over 30, in my mind that is. My body is often another story. In spite of how unawaken I was in my earlier years, somehow I was able…..
Two weekends ago I had the great privilege of attending the Sat Nam Fest West that was held in Malibu Canyon. I loved the setting of being surrounded by abundant beautiful trees, which was a far cry from the dry, dusty desert of Joshua Tree where the Sat Nam Fest was held previously. I felt like I was being held in the womb of the Mother. This year my husband Gary was able to join me at…..
When I was 14-years-old I had a dream that my maternal grandmother died. I awoke and headed to our kitchen and found my mother in tears. She told me her mother died last night. I shared my dream and tried to comfort Mom. One year later I had another dream that my maternal grandfather was getting married. I told my mother about the dream and she scoffed at it until the next week when she found out her father was…..
