My heart is full from your comments. . .

Every day I take some time to read comments in response to the nearly 200 posts I have written. I am truly amazed that so many of you take the time to read and then write back your thoughts. I want you to know just how important you are to me. Writing can be[...]

Hope opens the door to sustained peace. . .

I was at a meeting tonight and the topic was hope. It's a certainty that everyone who comes to any 12 step group for the first time is bereft of hope. And we seldom even realize that to be the case. We just know that we are terrified and sick of being sick an[...]

Showing up as the person I really want to be. . .

At my 12 step meeting this morning, the topic was how to "get over ourselves" those mornings we feel like snarly cats. Gratefully, I don't have those mornings very often, any more, but I used to grouse at every one upon arising. It wasn't simply that I needed c[...]

I have a very close friend who is trying desperately to tolerate the chemo that is necessary for her pancreatic cancer. She came to visit me for a few days and was pretty sick while she was here. She is back up in Minnesota and continues to be sick. I chose t[...]

Connecting with you, the reader. . .

I have just spent the last three hours responding to your comments in regard to various blogs already posted on my site. I do this every couple of days so that I don't get too far behind and I want to say again that I love hearing from you. I know I've mentione[...]

Intentions for the new year. . .

We've probably all made tons of resolutions over the years that we adhered to for a week or less. Maybe only a few hours, in fact. Perhaps that's because resolutions are geared to what we are Not going to do, ever again! I think a more helpful approach might be[...]

Connection is a powerful gift that we give one another. . .

I have spent the last two hours reading your comments to my posts. Every couple of days I do that and I respond to a great many of them. First let me say to all of you: I am extremely gratified that you have become readers and even more gratified that so many o[...]
