Today in the mail I received an invitation to attend another training & wise woman retreat in the CO mountains. My first thought was that I would like to go. My next thought was, “What would people think? Two solitary trips to CO in one year!” I thought back to last year when my cousin’s [...]

What Will You See?

April 5, 2011

I’ve noticed that when traveling to new places I am especially visually enthralled to see so many new sights for the first time. On a trip to Hawaii I took nearly 300 macro (super close-up) photos of plants and flowers and such. It seemed that every where I looked, my eyes beheld wonder and things [...]

March 15, 2011

Amidst the stressful and heartbreaking earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor meltdowns of last week in Japan, plus threats of tsunami waves hitting the US west coast and radioactive particles eventually carried on the sea winds, it became clear that it was time for a retreat from Babylon.
