We have been in Mendocino for over a week now, and I have spent most of my time here in my little house in the back with the heater on, sewing away the hours. I awakened this morning to freezing temperatures, so cold that all the rooftops were covered with a heavy frost. I still [...]

A Sense of Place
Posted in compassion, Inspiration, Memories, Nature, personal journal, Places, Ruminating, Seasons, Slow Living on November 15, 2010 | 11 Comments »
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 [...]

The power of being. A love affair that stays and nurtures.
Appreciation
Posted in Nature, Places, Ruminating, Seasons, Slow Living on November 9, 2010 | 6 Comments »
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 [...]

Cupcakes, Campfires, and Good-byes
Posted in Memories, Nature, Places, Seasons, Slow Living on July 19, 2010 | 12 Comments »
The grandkids left early this morning. We made some wild and crazy cupcakes before they departed. And had a campfire and supper on the beach on a chilly and foggy evening. We reminisced about the time and the days that we had spent together. And then decided that it truly is the little things in [...]

“When my hands were little, and my mother was teaching me to sew, she placed her hands over mine. She put her middle finger, encased in a pitted silver thimble, at the end of the needle and pushed for me. This finger, with the thimble, is a little engine, she said. It makes the needle [...]
Summer Solstice

I always think of my mother on this day for the last three years. She passed away here in our home on this very day, the day with the most light, the longest day of the year. It was almost as if she had ordained it because she loved sunshine and long days dreading the [...]
Projects for a New Grandson

I returned from Southern California to Portland at midnight Sunday. It is still raining here, but this morning on my walk I found a door that hit me with a jolt of color, so I went back to take a photo so I could share the joy of it. Now that I am home, I [...]
