    In an earlier article, I introduced you to the mother-son team of Jannirose and Charlie Fenimore. Although we have not yet met in person, I felt a kindred spirit link from the time I was introduced to them through our mutual friend Cindy Greb. As an adoptive parent myself, I told her that…

    When someone enters our lives, we are not always clear about the purpose or the path we will take as we share it with them. Parenting is one such journey that is undertaken with the desire to guide and teach a child as they grow into adulthood. What happens when the parent accepts that…

  So much fear permeates the consciousness of the world at the moment. For an empath like me, it is palpable. I can sometimes hear the voices of those who are living in peril for their lives and safety and feel the gut-twisting terror and need to shake it off in order to function. I…

The heavenly choir gained another member when Leonard Cohen left the stage last week, at 82. According to his manager, he fell in the middle of the night and died in his sleep on November 7th. Best known for such heart melting hits as Suzanne, Hallelujah, Bird on A Wire and Anthem, he had recorded his…

A vague restless feeling has been pervading my soul in the past few months;  not full blown anxiety, but what I would call angst. I have been a registered voter since 1976 and cast my vote for Jimmy Carter. My political affiliation is clear…

  At 58 years of age, I am contemplating many aspects of life that had been taken for granted way back on the timeline. As a kid, I lived in a neighborhood in which kids hung out in groups, as we rode bikes, swam, played on swingsets and climbed monkey bars. I think of them…

  An irresistable invitation arrived to venture southward from my suburban Philadelphia home to Washington, DC for what I knew would be an epic event.  It has been eons in the making and I sensed that many others heard the same beckoning. It read: “There is a Tibetan myth that when 1000 Goddesses or Taras unite,…

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart A few days have passed since my home was filled with many kindred spirts and soul friends. Some are talented musicians and their sonic sweetness is still reverberating throughout the structure as I am soaking…
