About Me

My photo
Mom, daughter, friend, cousin, niece, teacher, performer...learning of the waker, dreamer, deep-sleeper and the self...facing my wounds, squarely and honestly. "All my mistakes have become masterpieces". Trying to learn to compromise my idiosyncrasies without making the mistake of compromising my essence. Ask me...I might share with you. Remaining open to what comes...

5th birthday



He is five years old. Not sure how to let that one resonate. You see, in a short amount of time, we have experienced so much. I am wondering, "What next? What must I continue to work on? How can we get through this next part of life and come out with growth and understanding and contentment." A wise book I am reading says, "Polish the mirror of the self and your child will see herself more clearly." Lovely right? Also frightening. How much further to dig to polish. How much longer before a break? Is there ever a break from polishing? The same book also speaks of Awareness. "It is impossible to keep this awareness of your destiny awakened all the time. But daily meditation can bring awareness to your thoughts and actions. Awareness brings constancy to your relationships. Constancy allows your child to release fear and follow his destiny."

He is five years old and I am so grateful. This I know. A work that is always in progress. An awareness that is beginning to awaken. And with that awareness, strength to let happenstance happen. Whatever it may be. May thoughts and actions become clearer and allow his next five years to thrive with confidence in his own process.
