Coiling for Lyme

healing process

  • Downshifting

    Last night was fabulous. I met people after Margaux’s play. A few liked the chapbook I laid out for her and might want my assistance. No hard asks or new projects. Just possibilities for the future. Meanwhile, I spent today… Continue reading

  • Juicing without carrots

    When your life is sweet, do you really need sweet foods? I was asking myself this question the day I discovered carrots have malvin in them. I’ve been eating them all along in small quantities only occasionally…until I started drinking… Continue reading

  • Friends vs Tasks

    My desk is a mess. I have a list as long as my arm of phone calls to make. I need to deal with my finances, my big stack of mail, emails to return, the dishes, and the list goes… Continue reading

  • Friends

    I have two beautiful friends with big things going on. Their joy is my joy as we accompany each other along the long road of life. Black & Kinky Amongst Brown Waves My friend Margaux is performing a one-woman show… Continue reading
