A beautiful moment with Pops last week has stayed with me. We shared a comfortable calm after our reiki session… As he lay sharing his thoughts about the experience, I kneeled beside him. Sunlight through the white curtains lit his eyes, shining back up from behind his spheres of blue… they were looking towards the…

Their visits…
Their visits come with giggles, hugs, stories and delicious food! Grammie Linda and Grandpa Saul are always there… a phone call away or another lovely card arriving. We celebrated Linda’s birthday at Tuscany that first Christmas with Teague. He had been restless during dinner and I was so relieved when she whisked him away so…
Rain pouring down…
Rain pouring down, the sounds of thunder, flashes of lightening and tires on the nearby freeway. I’m out with the boys on the patio sofa… A lovely moment as we three write in our own leatherbound journals. These boys are absolutely amazing!! Filling Corona virus days at home with such joy and creative magic. “Joy,…
A string of lights…
A string of lights in our magnolia tree… like fireflies dancing. You and I sweetly cuddled, the sound of our hammock rocking back and forth, the sky stretching dark above us.We held such beautiful spaces, you and I. My little RoRo – singing, cuddling, nursing – long pauses with eyes locked. Your eyes dark and…
We covered her flowers with happy kisses
We covered her flowers with happy kisses Our intent to leave joy at the door of a sad friend. The boys and I strapped into our four wheeled “space ship” and under a dark sky given an orange crescent moon, we decided adventuring was much more fun than going to sleep. Lightening lingered across the dark,…
At midnight, my family sleeping…
At midnight, my family sleeping, I walked out back and to the south to be with the moonshine in our yard. She seemed on a quick sail west trailing an extra bright Jupiter like her kite (much brighter than Venus at this time of year.) I stood in her light, clearing my thoughts while holding…
Bebop’s and Nana…
Bebop’s silliness and Nana’s tenderness color memories countless in vivid shades of love, belonging, soup, painting and cookies. They have created a second home for the boys. Teague and Ronen count the days between Sunday visits. They can’t go a full week without a Nana “fix” to get them through! How grateful i am for…
Her light and love is still…
It is wonderful to spend time with her “kids” today… so many memories from when they were little and now how amazing to witness the lives they’ve grown to live. I feel Shannon’s love when I’m with them, feel her when i hike big cottonwood canyon, when listening to Stevie Nicks and when singing “somewhere…
This lovely woman…
This lovely woman, life has aged. Walking her way. Tired bones, stories on her skin. A walker keeps her upright now… on the sidewalk, on the street. Somehow the sun shines brighter on her skin. Some days i give her roses. She gives smiles, always. The very light of her being brings me joy. I…
