By Debra Basham, on September 16, 2017 Affirmations: I do not know what is the truth for you. I know what is mine to know in each moment. I trust in my inner guidance to guide me to what is best for me. I easily forgive and release what is no longer the best for me. Betty Lue’s Loving Reminders
“What do […]
By Debra Basham, on September 12, 2017 I just spoke with a dear friend. She is my sister from another mister. We are soul mates, and we have such sweet sincere respect and love for one another. We were sharing about the privilege of lifting one another up, and being confident we always get our turn. The metaphor that popped into my […]
By Debra Basham, on September 8, 2017 Please be extra gentle with yourself during these highly charged, transformative times. We are all so beautifully sensitive to the collective experience – and especially right now.
We are sending our blessings to those in the many places where there are wildfires, floods, and approaching hurricanes. Peace, love, and blessings to all people, all […]
By Debra Basham, on August 28, 2017 Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, way back in the sixth century B.C. said: “You cannot step twice into the same river.” This is because the river is in flux. Perhaps it is also because we are always changing. I certainly was aware of this truth while attending a Level 1 Healing Touch workshop at the VA in […]
By Debra Basham, on August 16, 2017 Just as we now have a new address, so my brother-in-love, Jim, also has a new address. Jim was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer this past November. Although a very difficult time, he and his family found gifts tucked inside the days. He passed from this life today about 5:00 am.
I am choosing […]
By Debra Basham, on August 6, 2017 I have had some long days and short nights the past couple of weeks, but we are moved! Here is my poem about all of that I wrote for the last Pine Island Poetry group:

By Debra Basham, on July 21, 2017 First times are memorable just because they are first. This has certainly been true for me this summer with the selling of our home.
Here is a handout left on our kitchen table next to the plate of cookies just-out-of-the-oven:
This was our first home, purchased 40 years ago this past April.

By Debra Basham, on May 23, 2017 “In the deep end, every stroke counts.”
“Best not flirt with disaster, lest it decide to commit.”
“Take two opposites, connect the dots, and you have a straight line.”
These are a few of the pithy wisdoms included in Where Epics Fail, an upcoming book of aphorisms from Egyptian-American poet Yahia Lababidi, who also said, […]
By Debra Basham, on March 31, 2017 It was 1:53 AM when he got up to pee. Faint shadows from the streetlight danced lazily on the wall. It had been almost midnight when she got to sleep, but she forced her eyes to open sufficiently and adjust to the darkness. He expected it, and she predictably said, “It is 2 o’clock. We […]
By Debra Basham, on March 26, 2017 Every day I hear about somebody having surgery. Some of those surgeries are major, some are minor. I understand the definition of “minor” surgery as something someone else is having….
