By Debra Basham, on March 2, 2017 Have you ever seen any of those 3D “magic eye” images? You have to hold the image close to your nose, look through it so it is blurry, and maintain your gaze as you slowly move the image away from you. As your eyes relax, your focus changes, and you can see amazingly beautiful things. […]
By Debra Basham, on February 24, 2017 So many sweet friends and family members are going through major STUFF right now. One of the dynamics is how stuff comes out of the blue.
That reminds me of the Captain Ron movie. Kurt Russell, who plays Captain Ron, says, “It’s just a little squall. They come on you fast, and they leave […]
By Debra Basham, on February 12, 2017 Where has the month of February gone? I know one week of it was spent with a friend who was going through a painful time. Without sharing personal details, suffice it to say, it is easy for some people to pretend they are something they are not.
What did “he” think? For sure, he […]
By Debra Basham, on January 31, 2017 Even in a world that’s being shipwrecked, remain brave and strong.
HILDEGARD VON BINGEN
At no time more than right now, remaining brave and strong is an important reminder. It seems there are more than the usual things to be distressed or discouraged about. In our personal lives, in our communities, in our nation, on […]
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.
The form of […]
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?
Remember when you thought forty was old?
One of the best things about age is its relativity. I was mother to a […]
By Debra Basham, on January 8, 2017 Twenty-seven years ago today, I became a grandma. Grandparenting has been and is one of the most glorious roles of my life, but I often say I went kicking and screaming into it. I was only thirty-nine when our daughter, Stacey, told us she was expecting. I was working full time. I did volunteer work. […]
By Debra Basham, on December 29, 2016 Perhaps you remember having heard the name Dr. Saul Shaye. If not, I certainly hope this post gets your attention.
I had swollen feet after the drive home from Tennessee for our Thanksgiving visit. I chalked that up to having eaten way too much junk.
On Sunday (Christmas Day) I had edema. On Friday evening, […]
By Debra Basham, on December 23, 2016 I applied for the position of an “Opinion Columnist” in our local newspaper. A good friend/writer colleague had suggested I apply.
It might seem odd to those who might think a committed spiritual person may not have a lot of interest in the things of the world, but that is untrue. We care deeply about […]
By Debra Basham, on December 15, 2016 What is my definition of heartbreak?
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.
So if you’re experiencing heartbreak, be it romantic, in your work life, or if you feel let down by […]
