Returning Home
I'm not from the desert. But, in April of this year I spent some good solo time on a spot of land in the Mojave Desert that welcomed me like home. How fortunate am I? Those hot sunny days and cold moonlit night changed me into more of me, in the springtime among...
Looking Up
When it comes to finding a way to find the sun, there is no better teacher than the sunflower. This one, a cast-away from a bustling bird feeder, made its way to a bit of fertile ground, put down roots and spontaneously grew tall and opened with this stellar pattern...
Clear Heart
The opportunity to drive across the plains is a treat. It may sound strange, but getting on the highway an experiencing the vast open field and sky of our heartland helps bring clarity to mind and heart. Something about the high speed is a part of that, too. Out of...
Ripple Effect

Lifewise
It's all just a theory until you know it in your bones. A storm blows through a neighborhood and photos of destruction show up on tv. Who is that? Where is that? It seems distant and unreal and we send out prayers and blessings to the people we see on the screen...
Sun Opening
I just returned from a week-long Awakened Wisdom Experience in the Mojave desert. Quite a change of climate for this Midwestern one, but it was called "Journey to the Unknown" after all. Part of the adventure included walking out into the desert landscape, selecting...
Being Ready
What fun today with Jennifer Lee and all the people present for her video summit! Right Brainers in Business rock! Sometime the notion of ready is overrated. I mean, are we ever ready for what this abundant and generous universe presents to us? Was I ready to be...
