I have not done a 100 Word Challenge for Grownups in a few weeks, which somehow seems sacrilegious. So that I don’t once again offend some god or other (I don’t need any more crazy mojo in my life at the moment) I decided to do this week’s. It so happens it is a milestone […]
I am a firm believer of the “interconnectedness of all things”. As I have wandered through this ephemeral journey that some of us call life, I have found that when we open ourselves to it, this connectedness is VERY evident. The only time I truly feel DISconnected is when I shut myself down … closing my doors […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am the need of some pure silly creation today. I have not yet had a chance to do this week’s 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups yet, so figured maybe the prompt this week would inspire the silly. It did not disa … point! The prompt: …the points were sharp… I have to admit it […]
The theme of the moment in my life seems to be boundaries … and pushing past them. This theme has totally infiltrated me in all ways, whether the choices I make or the creations that are born within me lately. This week’s 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups fits right in with this theme, or at […]

Today was the kind of day where I needed some pure silliness. The 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups often offers just what I need to wax nutty, and this week’s challenge worked well for it. The challenge: …the hairs on my arms stood up… On the surface ripe for a horror story or such, […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How do words come into being? How did a rock become described by the sound “rawk”? Why is wind not wssshhhhhh? Why do words for mother sound similar in many different languages ? Why does a dog say “woof” (actually dogs, and chickens and cows, make different sounds in different parts of the world. Just […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I have seen many wonders in my life. I have imagined many more. Every day I wake up to wonder … the wonder of life itself. When I sleep, my mind wanders in worlds unimaginable, yet they made it into my mind. Humanity is one of the peaks of that wonder. Beyond the incredible combination of […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The odd thing about beginnings is that they are usually the ending of something else. So who knows where this tale truly begins?
