So, I decided that I need to quit beating myself for not getting around to blogging. Truthfully, I have bigger fish to fry and when I’m not frying those fish, I’m trying to get some much needed rest. But, today, I have help! It’s MLK Day which...

I sold my beloved Mazda 6 today. Just like that. We bought a minivan 3 weeks ago before we headed up to K.C. for Christmas. I love it. I really do. I resisted it, but now I’m so grateful we have something this roomy that we can get in an out of and...

It’s not that I haven’t wanted to write lately, but I just haven’t had it in me. I have been oh so sleep deprived, and frankly, depressed. I can’t quite put my finger on it really. I’m enjoying my life tremendously. I love my little...

This past week completed the 4-week long telecourse entitled, A New Way of Being. Since I started the class, I’ve been blogging and journaling here and there about some observations I’m having as I dive deep down and try to soak up all this information...

What is wrong with me? I’m such a zombie lately. I just got an email from a woman reminding me about a gig I have this Sunday cantoring for a Catholic mass. I have a rehearsal tomorrow, and I completely spaced it out. I’m so glad I’m not involved...
