By Debra Basham, on January 31, 2017 Even in a world that’s being shipwrecked, remain brave and strong.

By Debra Basham, on January 23, 2017 Does it make sense to you that when you keep bumping into something in your life, it is about you rather than just about what (or whom) you are bumping in to? That has been happening for me again. I enjoyed using a new poetry form to gain insight and freedom.

By Debra Basham, on January 15, 2017 Do you remember wanting to be old enough for kindergarten? Old enough to stay home alone? Old enough to babysit? Old enough to drive a car? Old enough to vote or drink?

heartbreak (noun): the vast pain that we suffer in response to our expectations not being met in some way. A facet of reality as a human being.

By Debra Basham, on December 11, 2016 When we were kids, we dealt with difficult situations. Sometimes we were bullied. Sometimes we didn’t get a new toy. Sometimes we were yelled at. We then developed defenses based on these events. The problem is that a lot of the times we don’t grow up and move on past these defenses or events. They […]
By Debra Basham, on December 2, 2016 My precious friend, Erin Hamilton, is one of the most courageous women I know, and I know a lot of really courageous women!
Erin opened her December blog post this week with the words, “Here we are.” Erin is writing about the birth of her twins, Lennox and Ella. Lennox will be celebrating his […]
