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. Being at peace with the death of friends, a job, what you used to be…..seeing the surface. Anticipation … Continue reading
It’s all we have_________March 8,2012
Cancer free. Its a 6 month, 2 year, 10 year ….clean marker, or when you’ve done everything you can and it’s time to let go. We hear it often—-‘live each day as if it were your last’ or ‘tell them you love them, you may never see them again’. So often it is lip service. … Continue reading
You are everywhere___________March 4, 2012
I lost a dear friend to colon cancer today. She was 45, a mom, a wife and an incredible fighter. She laughed all the time. I can hear her laugh right now. She started her journey home and will now be forever in the flowers, the wind, the sunshine and when we do good things. … Continue reading
Onward_________Feb 27, 2012
Have had quite a bit to do since Valentines Day. We found a house, packed and moved in 12 days. It needs a lot of work (the house and I can get our inner and outer face lifts together). Like I said before, nothing can be smooth, there is always excitement and hairy turns with … Continue reading
Open Letter to those that chose that moment,
Dear heart-breakers, It’s Valentine’s Day. This is to all those that have spent time in my head, my heart and I have had the honor of being in your presence. Your absence is noted. Your decision to leave this place in the manner you did has left and indelible ache. Every time another one hits that … Continue reading

These past few months have let me in on a secret. One that pains me and then brings up from a deep well…..it can be found, taught and felt. This secret is an overwhelming number of people, lacking courage. While the word ‘lack’ might indicate they are less than, it is their choice not to … Continue reading
A little drowning_________Feb 6, 2012
I’m over the post pool snot-filled days. Added 50 meters to my total bringing it up to a whopping 300. Lance Armstrong twittered that he swam 4800 yds…..show-off. Figured out how to more easily wriggle into my 2-ply 20%+ Lycra swimsuit (a work-out itself)….put it on in the shower. A tip for the bigger girls … Continue reading
a ladder? i have gum wrapper, lint from my pocket and bottle cap…sure________Feb 4, 2012
For every decison, there is a fork. You can try and look down each road, though it always seems like there is a bend or fog or it just look deceptively smooth. I think I have an allergy to smooth. Even if my new brain is saying ‘go smooth, go smooth’, my old brain is … Continue reading
