How I did it
How to january Goal - Daily: Write Haiku to describe the day
It took me
31 days
It made me
grateful

How I did it: I set the intention, created the goal and kept vaguely aware of the images as they unfolded throughout the day.I was especially pleased with my consistency - so much so I upped my own writing practice ante in creating another poetry writing goal for February.Ambition breeds ambition, I suppose. Read how I did it…

How to daily: Practice being Raw, Vulnerable, and Naked in more of my communication regardless of who I am communicating with...(for the rest of November)
It took me
30 days
It made me
feel empowered.

How I did it: I spoke with my knees knocking and my spirit quivering. I spoke so that people could hear me, so that people would recognize I was offering a doorway to truth rather than a wall to protect ego.Life changing. Read how I did it…

How to october Goal: Experiment with Watercolors
It took me
24 days
It made me
content.

How I did it: It started with intention and sharing that intention. "I would love to experiment with watercolors!"I shared this desire with a fellow artist who had some watercolors she wanted to pass along since she wasn't using them.Several months later she said to me, "I am creating an art show in March and I want to include the handful of women who inspire me most. I know you are experimenting with watercolors and would love to feature... oh, seven … Read how I did it…

Grateful on Sunday....

I am grateful that even though I haven’t posted in here, the gratitude gang is still here, going strong.

I am grateful Niel commented on Samuel’s YouTube video. (He thought it was so cool, Niel, that you live in South Africa yet came to visit his video! It isn’t the moon, I wanted to tell him, simply a different part of our planet. LOL)

I am grateful for my morning coffee.

I am grateful for shifting perspectives, toward the positive.

I am grateful for Cameron, who swept me away and off to The Getty Museum yesterday. It was the first day I felt calm, completely, for the past two weeks. Needed it.

I am grateful I got some fun shots with my camera yesterday, becoming even more intimate with art…

I am grateful for you, reading….

Raise My Son in a Way That Honors His Uniqueness (read all 170 entries…)
Samuel said....

the other day, “If we win a million dollars, I will buy you a new desk, Mommy.”

I recently cleared everything off my Writing Porch. It is completely empty. The space we used to sit each morning is devoid of anything. A white canvas, waiting.

Bittersweet.

Samuel wants it to have a desk, so I can sit & write and usher in the morning there again. He knows how happy it made me.

How I love my son…..

Try to write at least one poem per day for one month: June (read all 2 entries…)
unfinished june 21

drumstick plays

relentless upon

the space between

my eyebrows

right above my nose,

I feel the triple

wetness

threaten to drip

bankrupt tears

spilling unwillingly

why does this transparent portrait

of collaborative love cause this

uncodified ache coursing through

my center from brow to belly to

the cracks in my heels

blood barren, dry, emptied

dust covered all remain

unspoken for language will not

can not know how to form around

this mammoth pilgrimage of

oppressive heat bars me from

dust covered box somewhere

out there in the great unknown

does it…

does it or
