When I share a meal with friends, it is not unusual for me to ask everyone at the table what they are grateful for. I love doing this because it gets others outside of themselves and whatever “chaos” may be going on in their day to shift focus onto everything that is right, perfect and just plain … Continue reading »

Angels in our midst
Naturally, since my car pooped out on me last year, I use the bus for transportation. Even though it is not a convenient way to get around, I honestly do enjoy Bend Area Transit. Since the place I live is a fairly small town, the bus system is cozy and it’s so nice. I mean, I know most … Continue reading »
My Homeless Home
My Homeless Home. I miss the place that some people playfully refer to as “The Junk.” I miss the place where I would drive in all groggy eyed at about seven AM every morning to always be the first one there. I miss putting on the coffee in the morning for all the smiley and … Continue reading »
Sometimes the end really is just the beginning.
If you’ve kept up with my blog, you would know that my last few weeks in Minnesota were some pretty frustrating times which lead to my last few days in Minnesota that turned into a grand finale to not only a very warped experience- but also to a drama that has been keeping a stranglehold on … Continue reading »

Hello Friends, Thought I would give you an update as to what my future holds.

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. – Mark Caine
Last week I had to suspend my gym membership due to lack of funds. It was sort of a big deal, because that is how I shower each day. It’s been an interesting few days since the suspension as I try to navigate a new sort of routine fit for the rock star that I … Continue reading »
When I grow up, I want to be ME.
Here is the best label I can find for the job I want when I grow up: Professional Catalyst. The description is as follows: To do philanthropic work by way of traveling extensively, spreading sunshine, building global community, catalyzing awakening and inspiring connection. I consider my specialties/strengths to be these: Inspiring people, writing, smiling, scattering … Continue reading »
I don’t know who you are, but THANK YOU!
I haven’t gone to the post office in I don’t know how long now. I think it’s been at least six weeks or maybe since before Christmas. I’ve been avoiding the Post Office because I know there are bills that I cannot pay waiting in my teeny tiny slot for correspondence with the “official/corporate” world. … Continue reading »
Moving out of my comfort zone.
Last night, I was elated to have a few dollars to eat at In ‘n’ Out Burger. While I sat and waited for my oh so good yet oh so bad indulgence, I noticed a homeless man walking around asking for spare change so that he could buy some french fries. Most… no every person … Continue reading »
