By Debra Basham, on September 27, 2023

I shared this story at St. John UCC a few days ago:

Holy Holons

On Friday I could feel that my blood pressure was high. I began to affirm: I choose to release this pattern within me that has contributed to this situation.

I am 12 years old again — August 1962 — in the auto accident with my dad. I am reliving all the terror […]

Tapping into Gratitude

By Debra Basham, on March 9, 2017

My grandson, Brad, and his wife, Christina, spent five wonderFULL days with us on Pine Island. Brad had been working for Charter Media in Murfreesboro (Tennessee) since earning his Master’s Degree three years ago.
