There are days when you might wonder if, in fact, Chicken Little was right, and the sky is falling. It’s enough to give a grown person the willies. Many things that once seemed bedrock-solid are crumbling. The world is changing; it’s all very fast and furious. Terra firma is shifting, at best, and a bad […]
Happy Halloween, Lovies. There are enough tricks going on out there; let’s focus on the treats. And this year, I do not mean candy, but our consciousness, which is simply another form of love and understanding that we are all connected. Let’s pull a Harry Potter and wrap up all of our respective fears and […]
Hope … it’s a wonderful four-letter word. Hope offers possibilities; hope suggests that the good will prevail. It makes us happy.

Do read this fabulous poem. This is (or was) Krista Tippett’s (of On Being fame) email signature as a new personal favorite. I think you will agree. It’s quite wonderful! What You Missed That Day You Were Absent from Fourth Grade a poem by Brad Aaron Modlin Mrs. Nelson explained how to stand still and […]
