Hi friends – It’s been many months since I have written to you. Thank you so much for all the love and prayers you sent me during my surgery and recovery in December and January. The support I felt, so widely and deeply, is impossible to name with words other than, thank you. I haveContinue reading “Mushrooms and Much Room.”

(Originally published in December 2021) Hi friends  –  In a little less than a week I will transport my consciousness into a fog of anesthesia and consent to having my gallbladder, a cute little organ that has served me mostly quite well for the last 45 years, removed. As you may know if you followContinue reading “Portals and Prayers”

Hi Friends,  One trillion lifetimes ago, on December 31, 2019, we had an NYE party at our home. I went all out in a hot dress, fishnet leggings, huge lightning bolt earrings, a red wig and an over the top make-up job done by a fabulous 12 year old boy whom I adore. I experienced a powerful awakeningContinue reading “New Years Newsletter”

Hi friends, Election day in America is just a few short days away. Or, for many of us, a few excruciatingly long days – and potentially sleepless nights – away – with who knows how much time in front us of even more uncertainty. I hope beyond hope that we are all voting. Whatever yourContinue reading “Hocus-Pocus Focus”
