I dreamt of my mother last night. We sat and talked on her bed in the room my parents had
while I was growing up. It felt
like a death-regret talk. The kind
I have had with the old and dying about what they wish had been different in
their life. My mom died when
she was 50 of breast cancer, I was 12.
In the dream she was frustrated because she Tricia Saroyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03431155713437794222noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581250566040511217.post-28580430923779041252016-02-03T19:25:00.000-08:002016-02-03T19:25:53.600-08:00An Art Opening and some thoughts…

Hello my blog friends, I hope you all had lovely holidays.
Ours were a combination of quiet and hugely momentous. We decided to celebrate Solstice
instead of Christmas, trying to calm our wounded little kids a bit and create a
new tradition of our own. It was a
lovely time, evergreen garlands,
candles lit every day, rainy days, fires in our pot belly stove, reading, lots
of Tricia Saroyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03431155713437794222noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581250566040511217.post-1765991151735838452015-10-10T13:37:00.000-07:002015-10-10T13:37:05.987-07:00Loving what is… and random beauty

My life… what an amazing journey!
This last year and a half has been quite a ride. Lots of ups and downs. The downs I have found have been tremendous openings to learn more about me. How to be… me… just… me.

"I'm not dead yet" to quote a favorite line out of Monty Python. Life is so full, I have just been living and not blogging.

Hello my blog friends…
Life is sure an amazing ride isn't it?

Sometimes if I am conscious
enough to pay attention and even actually get out of the way I am stunned into
awe over the beauty of it. I see from time to time some kind of higher
power's intention for my life. I am so grateful for those moments.
