My Holiday Stalker
All through Thanksgiving week, I had to call the police about 8 times because a strange, slow man was watching my house from the trail. I confronted him a few times, only for him to apologize and return again the next day. My daughter said that he even showed up at my front door on…
Read MoreThe Sale of My MIDI Keyboard Controller
This evening, I decided to walk a few blocks from Best Buy to Guitar Center instead of drive in the holiday and rush hour traffic. As I was crossing Colorado Blvd in the cold, carrying a big old MIDI keyboard controller to resell, I caught myself expecting to be turned away, dreading the discouraged trudge back to the…
Read MoreA Magical Existence
Yesterday afternoon, i opened the door to head to the chiropractor, thinking, “Bummer, I wish I had ordered that Pure Wave massager earlier in the month so that I had it to take with me to show my chiropractor.” Of course, sitting outside my door was the box from Pure Wave. Delighted, I took it…
Read MoreExpecting Magic
On Sunday, I walked the length of my boyfriend’s backyard to cut some green onions for a sauce we were making. As I walked along the path to his garden, I thought “Something magical is about to happen to me.” When I got back to the house, I was curious because nothing had happened. Then,…

Read MoreThe Purpose Of Boundaries
November 6, 2015 Let’s talk about boundaries. Often the purpose of boundaries gets lost by the manner in which we create them. We tend to focus on the boundary itself—a wall that is often built around us based on resentment from exhaustion and depletion. We often hurt the person on the other side of that…
Read MoreBoundaries
April 19, 2015 Often when we are first learning to have healthy boundaries around ourselves, we use force and harshness with our words like we are telling the other person that we’ve had enough and that they aren’t going to run over us ever ever again! But, really, drawing the line isn’t about fighting somebody…
Read MoreSand Dollar
April 8, 2015 One morning, on my beach trip, I found part of a sand dollar. So the next morning, I asked God to send me a whole sand dollar, just for fun! Then, i forgot about it. My dad and I took another walk later that day. The winds were so high that we…
Read MorePain Around the Word “God”
March 15, 2015 I understand that some of us have a lot of pain around the word or concept of “God”. We may not believe in God or don’t know what to think about God. Maybe we felt like God took our mother or father when we were a child. Maybe we feel betrayed and…
