I Choose

A year ago, I had two amazing experiences within 2 days. I had an astrology reading by Pat Kaluza, which was so affirming and enlightening, and filled with food for thought. The following day I met with my art mentor, a monthly event that packs in learning on so many levels: art technique, art history, […]

Very Inspiring Blogger Award, aka 7 new facts about me

Writing a blog is still quite a new process for me, with sweet surprises on a regular basis. I’ll catch myself saying, “my friend from Canada” or “a woman in California” or “a blogger from India said . . .” I feel connected to women around the world through blogging and Facebook learning communities. Well, […]

Taking a Break from the Blues

Healing Myself, Healing the World

So here is what I am noticing, by putting together my study of energy healing and observations of myself, clients and colleagues. Many (all?) of us have had particular deeply painful experiences, out of which comes a deep knowing about what we want to see happen, or at least what we want to see not […]

Italian – Spiritual Cookies

Yesterday, I went to Italy–Rome, Assisi, Florence, and Orvieto. Oh, it was so great! Well, actually, it was in March my husband and I visited our daugther in Italy. Yesterday is when I sorted the photos and put them in albums. It was like being there, almost. We saw the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, the […]
