Superman_______July 6, 2012
Wanted to share an answer from a TED question about Hero’s. Conversation: We can all be heros! We share many of the same insecurities and fears, so why do some people take action while others continue to look away? Jan 8 2012: Great question. The “hero” is Superman and it is my grandmother. When I was … Read more
Perfect__________June 18, 2012
There is a conscious tapping that reminds me of how far we have to go. There are some that say that hiding ones head in the sand can be easier than facing the giants. Eventually one must peek and there standing on the edge of the hole is a giant fist waiting……patiently to sock you … Read more
When we remember_______May 27, 2012
My father showed me the letter he wrote to his commanding officer asking to be deployed to the Gulf War. He did not get to go. Every time I saw my dad, it was a parade of remembering. His ability to spend a lot of time with anyone was limited. It did not matter how … Read more

Many keep on this path for a very long time. Losing iron, vital sources of brain juice and always seeing the bottom of the … Read more
going with it__________March 27, 2012
The cells are humming. They are changing…slowly, with care and love. It’s the next plane. The next level, a little bit more knowledge. It seems to be okay when things are heavy. I love that saying, “he’s not heavy, he’s my brother”. Heavy is okay. Heavy is hard and your muscles shake and you sometimes … Read more
I love you
This is in response to those hundreds that have read an ‘Open Letter to those that choose that moment’. There is a part of me that is slightly shocked at how many……daily read this open letter and secretly very happy. After my father decided June 22nd, 1995 to end his pain in this world and … Read more
Surfacing____________March 17, 2012
Being underwater and seeing the sunlight at the surface. Having one more load of laundry to do. The one last item on your list. Seeing the summit and knowing how long it will take to get there.
