As I travel the virtual world, one concept pops up frequently. The desire to be clean: in health, in mores, in the environment. But what is clean? Besides being the opposite of dirty, it depends on a baseline unique to every individual and circumstance. We who have plentiful water would never dream of drinking from… [Read more…]

I would like to thank all of you. You, as in bloggers, whether on WordPress, FaceBook, Blogger, Typepad or any other social network. We bloggers changed the content and discourse of communication. We write, argue, fall in love and connect all at a distance thought impossible only generations ago. Some state that blogworld is a… [Read more…]

I could celebrate several births in my short life of four years, but I choose to ignore those dates. As a multiple girl I don’t have a body, so thus no birthday. I have however given birth to my own book, three blogs and numerous emails. There I part company with all of you. I’m… [Read more…]

It doesn’t take a superheroine to make someone feel better. A smile, a hug, a kiss when needed does wonders. The question I have is: Why is it so hard to stay connected? Why do we feel the urgency to pull away rather than embrace? I find the concept of the superheroine to be amazing.… [Read more…]

It’s fallen out of favor, the lament and I wonder why. Is it because we have moved away from God or has the modern world muffled His hearing? I don’t really have anything to lament. I can certainly understand the concept. Dear God, Why have you closed the door? How am I supposed to understand… [Read more…]

Is it just me or is a woman expected to clean up all the time? If it’s not my mess then why should I care? When it comes to love women are always trying to fix the mess aka men. It rarely works. We give everything and seem to get nothing but grief in return.… [Read more…]

I do not have a mantra. I do not meditate or pray. But if I did… I am dark chocolate. Bawdy Wench

It’s so much fun to get all self-righteous and uppity when someone makes a hard choice. We are all perfect in our own minds. You know something? Blame is a dead-end street. It feels good. Really good. Not only blaming others, but especially blaming yourself. Oh boy is that a trip. Nothing like a good… [Read more…]

In many cultures the dragon is an enduring symbol. For some it is evil and destructive and for others it is wise and revered. Although dragons are mythical, Komodo aside, people still find them fascinating. Why? Why does a large, flying, fire-breathing fictional monster captivate so many? Myths serve several purposes. They instruct, they save… [Read more…]

There are many terms used in conjunction with recipe: recipe for disaster, recipe for failure, recipe for happiness. Using the term recipe in a context other than ingredients in a meal creates a common understanding. We don’t think about breathing or about all the other automatic functions our body performs [nearly] flawlessly both awake and… [Read more…]

How much courage does it take simply to get out of bed every day? For many it will be the hardest thing they do. More than hope, more than desire, it is the courage to live that makes everyday people so extraordinary. You don’t have to be a hero to be courageous. It’s a smile,… [Read more…]

Perhaps it was always too much to hope for that I’d make lots of friends and have success in life. Being silent for nearly a year made me realize that there are lots of things I missed. It’s easy to assign blame, to absorb the negative and ignore the positive. He’s not the problem. They… [Read more…]

Dear Martin, In the event you are reading this, I am no longer in your life. I have a few regrets; places we didn’t go, people we didn’t see and positions we didn’t try. There is however one regret I do not have. Buying a lottery ticket was not ‘stupid’, ‘wasteful’ or ‘typical of your… [Read more…]

It seems silly, having dinner every night. Something different, something special; each culture has specific culinary cues. In the mass media age we all fancy ourselves to be bold and daring when dinning. Yet, whenever we are feeling stressed or lost in the clamor of negative news, we return to the food of our youth.… [Read more…]

I’ve been away and thinking a lot. Not writing, not talking, not ‘existing’. But what I do think about often is the common ground we all share. You can interpret it to mean whatever you’d like. I’m not even sure what it means to me. This is the third try at this blog. My main… [Read more…]
