“Sometimes words are not enough“
I recently adopted a cat from a friend who was shot. This is a true story. Still can’t believe it myself. Laura was in her prime, a talented artist/photographer, living in Mobile, Alabama. Someone she vaguely new came into her home and shot her in the back. She was instantly…
For those who follow my pet stories, Halo is doing much better. If you remember she was born cripple. Her tail was at a 90 degree angle. I prefer to call her “bent” and I loved her at first sight. It broke my heart when she was afraid to…
Last week in the news President Trump was categorized as “The Chosen One.” Some of you may be surprised to know that I actually agree. I believe that we are ALL “chosen” for one reason or another. In my memoir I wrote about a time when I was chosen. Chapter…

This is proof that there are no coincidences. In a recent Energy Healing class the topic was about freeing-up what has been trapped and bound in our past and come to ourselves FRESH… “like shedding our skin”. I thought of it as sort of a blank canvas. But my teacher…
Recently an art student of mine (female, 13) told me, during an art class, that she couldn’t IMAGINE anything. When I said “green elephant”, she said no. How about a “purple house”, another no. “The face of your mom???”… no answer. I could tell she was trying way to hard….
