Man do I love Eddie Vedder. This song is so beautiful and he has always advocated for change. His music is sweet, deep and it reminds me of a time in my life when I was a bit wilder. The 90’s when Pearl Jam was big, was a time in my life when I…
Read MoreJust Breathe
These days I am pulled back and forth. My dilemma is a bit of a luxury problem. I have time to rest up and get well and yet the old nagging voice inside tells me that I should be doing something other than taking care of myself. It is my life’s story. The story…

I AM….the tree that grows from the earth, the bird that flies in the sky, the wind that blows the hair that is on my head, and the earth beneath my feet. I have been reflecting this afternoon on connection, beauty, life and spirit. Walking home after seeing the movie “Wild” I am struck with…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFFpwhTMr6A I have been a bit on the Ben Harper band wagon these days. So please forgive me if he is not one of your favs. In our last chat Walking Away we talked about walking away and letting go of things that no longer serve you or fit anymore. All this while listening…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB_wZ_0s7mc I could look at and listen to Ben Harper sing all day and night…every day as if it was water, air, food to feed my soul. Many moons ago I had the opportunity to see him in concert at a time in my life when I couldn’t fully appreciate the beauty within his…
