Mary sent me a luscious link about mandalas, which have fascinated me from my earliest days. Not only do they speak to me spiritually, they are beautiful works of art as well. Here's the link: http://sacred-circle-mandalas.blogspot.com/ and there is a related link from the page
here about which I'll speak later. And Barb created a lovely mandala for Becca to take with her to the hospital.
I've written about mandala…

My Shetland Sheepdog dog-child Lacey had a biopsy Monday, and the vet called this evening with some inconclusive results. There were spindle cells in the tissue sample (not good) so the tumor is either a fibroma (benign) or a fibrosarcoma (aggressive c…

My dear friend Becca could use some of our fantastic CCS support. She learned today she will be facing heart surgery in the very near future, to replace her aortic valve. She will be seeing doctors tomorrow for more details. Please lift her up in prayer and send healing energies her way. Thank you.

The Big Dump
“Hi Ima.” Dear God in heaven, are you kidding me? Don’t tell me, let me guess? I get to listen to you complain about this for the umpteenth time.
“Yeah I heard from Dave.” And Sarah. And Paul, Melissa, and Carmen. Probably from the check-out lady at the grocery store too. Hell, it’s probably on the five o’clock news by now.
“Sorry about that.” Not really though. You did this to yourself by taking the jerk back after he tap-danced on your emotional well-being the first time…

She fell in the deepest of sleeps and awoke in the light of dawn with a start, sitting up in the bed, saying "A tortoise? My totem is a tortoise? I don't believe it!"
The silly woman had been expecting somethi…

My teeth pierce the shiny red skin and sink into the crisp white flesh,
