I woke this morning later than usual thanks to Lorzepan. The usually saboteurs that have been hanging around lately were all quiet. I thought about my friendships and how my therapist had said to seek out my friends during this time of upheaval and how that has not been a balm for me. The reason is simple, I’m making big changes in my life and that provokes fears in others. No matter what their circumstance…
I’m a woman of urgency. I approach everything and person who comes my way by grabbing them into the mad dash that has been coloring my life for so long, I’m not sure how to let it go. So last night I took a Lorzepan and I slept like a baby. I dreamt of babies too, lots of them. A baby rushes to walk and falls repeatedly. Undaunted, it gets up and tries again. A…
So the roller coaster ride that began towards the end of December was one where the car was taking me up up and away. I would send out a message to the world that this is what I want and the world would respond positively. Still there were emotional balls up in the air all around. Today, there was a setback, and it stopped me in my tracks and I just shook myself and said…
January 07, 2013 Taurus (4/20-5/20) Hold onto your dreams and don’t let go! You can’t let anyone tell you that what you want won’t ever happen.

I spent my life among atheists and have come to the conclusion that it is a life bereft of mystery and richness. Those Yoruba priestess did more to light my way than any atheist has ever done. Similarly, the Zen center and Buddha’s teaching has done more to explain my life than any rationalist text could ever provide. So today, when I woke early this morning feeling powerful from all the positive vibrations in my…
What a lovely reminder that fear is NOT our natural state of being. It is not who we really are. Our work is to unlearn the lie and uncover the truth. (HBW) “Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment – or unlearning – of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts.” – Marianne Williamson
It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive. – James A. Baldwin

I woke this morning at 3:45 – the joy of now trying to scramble the details together. Last night, after I was already in bed I received an offer on the house, less than 24 hours before the Open House today. I was able to read the Sunday New York Times that for the first time arrived early enough to do so since Tin came. Before dawn I had a conversation with the bayou and…
