“At This Time”
Right now, where you are, are you aware?
Breathe in and feel connection to all you love
Birds fly and view the world from a higher perspective
Fabulous fruits, decadent desserts, marvelous munchies
Mundane made sacred by joy
Sheer silliness, satiating stillness, somber stoicism
All reaches all, […]
By Debra Basham, on May 22, 2020 This week is the anniversary of my mom’s transition. May 20 is also the date Ursel, the former owner of our home, passed, as well as the date Ursel purchased the home 33 years earlier.

By Debra Basham, on May 3, 2020 Old doors close so new ones can open. Don’t get stuck on what fell apart just because it hurts. Transformation requires growth and letting go.
~Brahma Kumaris Thought for Today
My friend, Kathy, lost her husband on January 18, 2020. She had been his care-giver. Their home was visited almost daily by friends and […]
By Debra Basham, on May 1, 2020 Today is May Day. It is a day to hang flowers on the door of someone you love. In 1886, more than 300,000 workers walked off their jobs demanding 13,000 businesses honor an 8-hour work day on May Day.
We know the value of doing something that benefits another. And we value doing what […]
By Debra Basham, on April 25, 2020 WORD FOR THE DAY
We did not ask for this room or this music; we were invited in.
