Can we sing for you now?

The Universe certainly does move in mysterious ways…

Let me first confess that I’ve been participating in some mental torture over the last week.  Last weekend I got a really bad sunburn (remember the stinky pile of poo?)  For the first several days, the physical discomfort had all of my attention.  Once that began to …

This isn’t supposed to happen here

When you live in a small town, it often feels like you should be isolated from the problems found in cities. Sadly, it’s not true.

Yesterday Melissa Jenkins, a woman who was just a couple years behind me in high school, was kidnapped. The story made national news because her two-year-old son was left unharmed …

Completion

Yesterday afternoon I learned that the man who killed Evie passed away over the weekend. According to the attorney general, he died from complications of the burns he suffered in the attempted murder/suicide (you can click here for more information.)

In the days between the fire and Evie’s death, as she lay unconscious in a …

Going sane, part 2

At the end of August, I wrote about going sane. It was a phrase that I heard one night as I sat in a circle of women, spoken by a beautiful young woman who was full of love and vitality.

I have come back to that concept over and over again during the last few …

The Big Reveal

A few eagle-eyed readers have asked over the last few months if something was going on that I haven’t been talking about. The truth is…yes.  I have been keeping something to myself.  A tiny seed of beauty and joy.  Something that I wanted to hold close so I could give it air and sunshine and …

What would Evie do?

Hi everyone!  We’re back from the planned motorcycle ride and I have a confession to make – I wasn’t a natural. I did okay with learning how to move my body in the turns and be a decent passenger, but I didn’t really relax into the experience well. We spent two days on the road …

The labyrinth

The most beautiful labyrinth I’ve ever seen is in Hardwick, Vermont, on the grounds of Hardwick Chiropractic.

The first time I visited this labyrinth was about 10 years ago with my mother and Evie Spodnik. The three of us spent a wonderful afternoon there that lives very clearly in my memory.

Evie had a particular …

Living as if it matters

Last night I had my first normal night of sleep since Evie died three weeks ago.

I have to admit that when I woke up this morning and realized that had happened, a wave of guilt crashed over me – how can I be returning to normal after such an awful thing happened to her?  …
