Steps to Transformation
I have found as I have aged that my calling is to help others with transformation. There are many aspects of transformation and… there are many areas of life that can be transformed. But in truth, I love seeing others embrace the challenge and art of becoming the person they want, desire and dream of […]
Thankful for Memory and Magic.
I took a little time with Elizabeth to go back over this last year and ‘thank God’ for all He did and got us through and all He blessed us with. In doing this one of the things that occurred was my eyes fell on a favorite photo of mine that is of Elizabeth riding […]
Looking Forward with Hope, Looking Back with Perspective
I sat down this morning, in the early hours of 4 am, under the twinkling lights of our Christmas tree to jot down these thoughts about the past 12 months. As the year finally starts to roll to an end I have been thinking much about the lives we live, the loves we have, the […]
Flowers for Algernon
If there has been anything that I have written, other then the humorous things that brought you a little smile of self recognition, yes, I know some of you can be as ridiculous as I have been at times – this to me is possibly one of the most important blog posts of my life. […]
Who Really Loses
I have been reminded over and over the last few months that Division sells more than Freedom in the world of lowest possible thinking. Those who read my stuff, My mom and Elizabeth, (:-) ) know I don’t hang on the media much anymore. My take is…it’s a show, with an agenda, no matter what […]

Water, Sea Breeze and Elizabeth
The Journey continues… You would think, after the name of my blog and how I process life that ‘understanding’ the Journey would be my point with my writings, musings, etc. but at least, in my honesty, my readers see I can get lost in the pain of the moment and forget about the dance like […]
Through And Not Around
In my opinion we all go through levels of ‘dark’ or challenging times. It is one of the great equalizers of life. When these dark days come, it’s easy to get lost in the dread and gloom of it all. It’s much like a dead in black and white road to nowhere. But instead of […]
Still Looking…
November 20th of this year Haven is 20 years old. Some of you know my daughter passed away years ago, some of you don’t however, I always take this time of year to ‘reflect’ on the changes of the tides in my life and try to ‘learn’ from what has happened. July 27th is […]
