• Crystal Balls & fortune telling

  I always thought that I would like to know what my future holds. Visits to psychics, daily reading of horoscopes were “clues”.  As I aged (and my waist grew wider and boobs grew longer…  I became grateful for NOT knowing what was going to happen in my life.    If I were told that some of the more tragic things were going to happen in my life  why would I have wanted to go on?  What would have given me the courage, [...]

• Goodbye….

  It is impossible and too personal to share all that has been happening in the past few weeks.  I will say that that I am amazed once again at the order in which things happen, and reminded that there is order and timing to all, whether we understand, accept or not.  I am not a religious person but I am a spiritual person.  I have been shown on numerous occasions that this realm in which we live is not all [...]

• B is for Balance and K is for Kindness!

  So… I’ve made an appointment with my plastic surgeon to get back to my reconstruction.    I have been thinking about my “b” cups.  Formerly a C, promised a D, and now less than a B….  sighs.  B is for “Balance”.
  Ya know, I know that I can find peace with these little babies, I am NOT my breasts.  It is rather nice not to wear bras… its not so nice not to have cleavage.  But anyway, I’ve learned  that the human [...]

• Balance…

  I am thrilled to say that I am home for a few weeks now.  My traveling gigs have been wonderful and necessary but I hope to enjoy some “down time” at home.  Of course that doesn’t mean I will not be working! lol.  “Anything for a buck, Donna”  I call myself… well ALMOST anything!  winks
  My laptop finally died last night and my desktop has been on its last leg for a few months now…. What to do, what to do.  [...]

• Gifts from the other side

  It’s been a while since I’ve written.  I’ve been working through some painful feelings, grieving, reminiscing, reflecting, and praying.   I need to let go of Jim.  I do not want to.  I feel his presence around me, as I said in an earlier post, his death has in a very strange way brought him back to me.  I experienced many signs that he is okay, that he is free.  Feeling his presence makes me selfish.  I do not want to [...]

• Working on acceptance

  Today I am doing the tedious and left brained task of last years taxes.  This is never any fun for me, but it needs to get done.   As I am sorting through the many receipts it has been taking me back to the past year.  I shed some tears at some, and others made me laugh.  I remind myself to “keep walking, keep walking” through all of this.  This helped me get thru the last year.
  When I think about Jim’s [...]

• Tidbets and thoughts on aging

  When I was a newlywed we had rented an apartment adjacent to the landlords.  One morning the Mrs came up to me and said “Would you mind moving your bed to another wall?”  Embarassed, red faced… Why of course!     Now some 30 years later I believe the same thing would happen, only this time because of my snoring!
  When I was 16 I thought I knew everything.  At 48, I wish I knew HALF, now, of what I thought I knew [...]

• Changes within me

  Thurs, March 25th 6:30am
  I’m usually up at this time long enough to let the dog out, take my morning meds, feed the cats, let the dog in, and then back in bed for a few more hours….  One of the important (to me) perks of self employment.  This morning, however, I am heading to Boston to meet with my plastic surgeon, preop appointment, and some tests.
  I am changing.  There are obvious changes in my body, but more important, inside, at [...]
