Connecting with others
Walking On The Edge…
Yesterday I walked the Edgewalk of the CN Tower with my son, Philip, harnessed in, hanging over the edge, 1168 feet above the ground, not hanging on to anything, apparently a world setting event. This plan came from Christmas of 2012, where the boys and I gave gifts of time and Philip and I decided […]
From Doing to Being to Doing while Being
My body is physically healing and I am finding strength to get back to routines and feel more “normal”. Historically, it is in those moments when I have had the most energy to write. The reality is that I haven’t written much the last few weeks. Life has taken a different turn for me yet […]
Unconsciousness to Consciousness…finally waking up!
What a ride this healing journey has been! The roller coaster that has steep inclines and unpredictable declines has started to have some sharp turns left to right. It really is the journey of life, all of our lives. How tight I hung on at first, afraid to open my eyes, afraid to let go, […]

Arrival…getting to the gate
It was 1 week ago today that my strong and gentle son, Andrew carried me into my home from the hospital allowing my healing to really begin. I wept as I saw my bed, in pain and relief, gratitude and love for the experience. Oh, to be in the folds of such love of my […]
The Power of Emotion
This has been a very emotional time for me, perhaps for all of us as we transition in to a new way of being on this earth. For me, it has been compounded by endings and new beginnings and lots of them. It’s a time of uncertainty and thus an emotional time. Last weekend, I […]
The car shopping vortex and enjoying the ride of life!
As someone who struggles to attach to physical possessions in any meaningful way, you can imagine my angst when it’s time to go car shopping. It’s not the top of my priority list and although I try to get excited about the thought of a new car, it just doesn’t resonate through me. I’m not […]
