I have to admit, I am torn. After reading all these responses and comments and discussing the matter of my blog, I am definitely on the fence or on the wall. Even my daughters called today and were shocked by my decision. So what to do…I think stay, but in some other form or state [...]

A Remembrance

This morning my sweet kitty, Lauren passed away. She had been ailing for the last several months with renal failure. I feel her loss so deeply and want to remember her in this space, to pay tribute to her life and her remarkable presence in our lives. I adopted her from the animal shelter five [...]
Slow Going

My husband had shoulder surgery on Wednesday and I have been living in the finished basement with him day and night. He is a model patient, but sleep is uneven for both of us and the days seem confused with the nights. He is doing well in spite of the pain. I have been staring [...]
A Sense of Place

I have decided to share a little more of my life instead of my silence. Swirling around in my mind are thoughts both bold and confusing, but lately thoughts that swing further back and settle into the center of my life as messages of wider influence than I originally had imagined. Today I went on [...]
Being

The power of being. A love affair that stays and nurtures.
Appreciation

I appreciate all the comments that you have left here. If only we could take a walk together and settle down to the quiet of the moment. I hope to be back soon, and will visit other blogs but probably not leave comments for now. I am here but feeling spent for the moment. Maybe [...]
An Absence
Posted in Places, Ruminating, Seasons, Slow Living on November 7, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I am on a path these days that calls for absence and quiet and more solitude. I have been trying to be active here, but it is not coming to me in a natural, comforting way. I think sometimes in life there is a call for other ways of expression, other paths that are unknown [...]
Delicate and Enduring

I like to think of my self as a strong woman, well not the bitch-type, but the one who can weather and endure the roller coaster ride of life, all those ups and downs inherent in living and yet still be comfortable in feminine yet alluring clothes. I can hold my own when I am [...]
Considerations

Every night I walk outside with my oldest kitty to give him some outdoor time before we head to bed. He loves the outdoors but will not venture out unless I am with him, so we usually bond in this way for 10 to 15 minutes each evening. Before Jude came back from her break, [...]
Being Alone
Posted in Antique/Vintage Textiles, Art, Memories, Nature, Places, Ruminating on August 14, 2010 | 15 Comments »
I have had some thoughts while I spend some time alone here in Mendocino. This morning I woke up very early thinking about an all-white (or maybe it was cream) fabric. It was the texture that drew me in, something soft and comforting. I announced to my cats that I was going back to sleep [...]
