I spent the day biking. Nothing unusual about that; it’s something I do fairly often throughout most of the year, sans parts of the really cold months of winter. Unlike driving, where one is mostly protected from the elements, being on a bicycle means that whatever the weather, it is your intimate companion. Today, my […]

Home
I live in the heart of a city, but when I look outside my window I breathe in the blue of the sky and the towering elm trees that create a canopy over my street. I live in the heart of a city, but I am exactly one block away from the river and a […]
Getting Lost in Nature – and Finding a Way
I think we need trees more than SUVs, fresh water more than fertilizer, mountains more than metal smelters. This force, this energy, this presence we call nature is worthy of our awe, our respect and our best care.
My Dentist was a Sadist
Back in the day, when I was a naïve little kid who loved to pick out her very own jeweled rings from the receptionist’s desk after getting a filling, I had not yet plumbed the depths of pain and fear brought on by forcible tooth extraction…with no anesthetic!
Tea Time for the Body, Mind and Spirit

Confessions of a Former Gleek: Part 2
If you missed Julie Harrison’s Confessions of a Former Gleek Part 1, you can read it here. In the first season of Glee, I found that Will (aka Mr. Shuester) shared many of my feelings of lingering doubt … Why did I never chase my dreams? What might have happened had I actually auditioned all […]
