You and I are so much same.
I prefer unlined journals – just in case I want to write or draw. I prefer spiral bindings. I have I-don’t-know-how-many spiral-bound, unlined notebooks filled with your thoughts, ideas, feelings, quotes, sketches, stories, poems and doodles.
I write to be at peace. Because I have to. So did you.
I write [...]

Post #1 in a brand new series
Someone recently asked me how the animals helped me get to where I am today. I immediately thought, hhmmmm…might make for a good post. Or…better yet…a s e r i e s of posts.
From a very young age, I have been surrounded by the influences of animals – domestic [...]

This is a new category I am starting – I am a newbie at this blogging stuff after all…
I want to share in the most matter-of-fact ‘voice’ that I, at times, suck at relating and all things relationship.

Lettin' the music flow through me.
Allowin' myself to be moved by raw energy.
Flowin' with the current, in the moment.
Feelin' connection with what surrounds me and what fills me.
So grateful.
Awareness of relationship.
Findin' myself in every thing.
And lovin' LIFE even when its slippery.
