Tears were right on the surface for me today.

“I know where I was 51 years ago today! Happy birthday to our sweetest darling,” I sent email to our daughter.

“Thanks for keeping me!!!!!” she responded.

I quickly wrote back:

That made me cry….

You were not a planned pregnancy, […]

Today, I will stop straining to know what I don’t know. To see what I can’t see. To understand what I don’t yet understand. I will trust that being is sufficient, And I will let go of my need to figure things out.

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

Seesaw and Ups and Downs

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 […]

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:
