Bare walls and boxes–the deconstruction of home. I start to pack and then write another email or call someone to say good-bye. I’ve not shed a tear yet, but know they are coming. I’m restless as the space between my settled home and move leaves me with boxes full or empty, some all taped up, [...]

Wind Beneath My Wings

I love that song…and the tune, the lyrics come to mind this beautiful sunny Sunday morning. Last night was our 4th Gratitude Gathering, a women’s support group I began last autumn. We meet once each season, at different homes, whoever can make it comes, all is as it should be. We share delicious food, chai [...]
The Empty Box

The sun shines brightly through the blinds into my living room leaving yellow stripes across the boxes empty and collapsed. From my kitchen chair I observe the teaching in this boxes.
The world as I know it has collapsed…everything stripped away. Over these past two years large homes, furniture and things to fill them, financial security, physical [...]
What Is vs. What Was
Posted in Grief, Love, Mid Life, Relationships, Wisdom, Women on September 18, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Memories of sweet love, ending love and the pain of detachment, the grief of loss, a broken heart. I realize that so much of the pain is from remembering what was. The reality of what is…is far different from what was. The mind and the heart so desperately want to hold on to the greatness in [...]
The Mirror

The mirror today reflects my natural hair wavy and fuzzy, a bit frizzy from humidity, blond highlights. My face has plenty of fine smile and laugh lines, hazel blue eyes with my right a bit lazy from the golf ball that landed there ever so perfectly when I was 10 years old. A couple of [...]
Saturday With Steve…..
Posted in Family, Friends, Mother and Son, Motherhood, Tattoes on September 10, 2007 | 1 Comment »
We left at 8am and headed for the Thruway. I’m not sure why I thought Auburn was near Albany, but soon found out as we buzzed past the Capitol District. Mom and son heading up past Syracuse to the Tattoo Halo in Liverpool.
I wondered why he wanted to travel so far to have the final color [...]

As the time gets closer to my move more and more people are asking, so what will you do? Some wonder if I have everything lined up, job, friends, etc. But the truth is, the only person I know is my Aunt and she does not live there full time.
As I reflect on this past year and [...]

I called my son to tell him of my decision to move and my daughter as well. Though we discussed this weeks ago as a possibility, I was not sure what their response would be to my news…I’m moving Columbus Day weekend! My daughter is 28…my son is 24 in a couple of weeks.
My son [...]
Moving Forward

Today I begin the process of moving forward. Everything has been on hold long enough, it is time to break free. Time to be me, to put everything in place for the fulfillment of my goals…now they begin to manifest. I look at my mini dachschund Shortey and tell him we are about to embark [...]
Labor Day 1979
Posted in Family, Gratitude, Motherhood, Women on September 3, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I remember clearly looking over at the windup alarm clock ticking loudly, it was 1:30am, when my contractions started. As a first time mom I am for the first time witnessing my body take on a life of her own. There is no controlling the life force of birthing. I am at once anxious, excited, frightened, restless, [...]
