Hello from our Bellingham, Washington bayside home, where two young eagles are sitting and sulking in a tree outside my window, probably wondering where their next meal will come now that the parents kicked them out of the nest. Youngsters: always hungry! Anyway, I've been wanting to let you all know what I am up to here ...

Wisdom follows us where-ever we go
Now that we are settling (at least for the moment) into this house by the sea, I am finally catching my breath, and harvesting what I have accumulated over the last months of traveling, discovering, thinking, dreaming. I am harvesting the collective wisdom I gleaned ...
Synchronicity’s path to home
My recent Facebook post: "Never underestimate the power of synchronicity--Connections made without thought or weighing or measuring brought you and I to amazing opportunities to grow, to learn and most of all, to express love.

Subject to change, and still on time….
"Everything in the Universe is subject to change--and everything is on schedule!" (bumper sticker from Quest Bookshop, Charlottesville,VA) The smirking mask pictured here was found after we discovered that the beachfront home we were cautiously excited about would not work for us. Yes, as of ...

8 months ago, It all began with a thought: What if we could create a life where we can joyfully bring our work to the world, live in community, and live in a home that brings us joy on a daily basis? It was ...

Now back to our regularly scheduled program....or not. We interrupt our regularly scheduled life, to bring you these instances of healing... * After the soul retrieval, she lay on the massage table, eyes moist from the tears, now shed with happiness. Her formerly aching body felt relaxed, ...
Light and darkness, coast to coast
We're in an entirely new season from the time we left the West coast on June 1: Well into October, we've finally arrived at the other Great Ocean that unites us all as a planetary body: The Atlantic Ocean greeted us with still-warm breezes, ...
It’s all Spirit, all the time
Yesterday, I had the privilege of rendering an aura portrait for a Native elder, hospital chaplain, airforce veteran Fleming Otey, aka Holy Eagle. A leader of a seven-tribe council here in North Carolina, he is one busy soul! Here is a picture of Fleming and his corresponding aura portrait:
