The Giving Hat

By Debra Basham, on December 9, 2018

P.S. When Jane Foster received the hat (see previous post) she sent this photo, and a message saying she thought the hat needed to be named.

She decided to name it the “Giving Hat” because her husband gifted her the hat, it is giving her so much pleasure, and the proceeds that will go […]

Do You Know Who Your Master Is?

By Debra Basham, on December 9, 2018

Our daughter was sharing a precious “aha moment” she had recently. She works in an industry which has it’s peak adjacent to retail sales— during the months of November and December. As many who are responsible for hiring entry level workers, she has struggled to get reliable help. That has been a HUGE frustration to […]

Depression (The Secret We Share)

By Debra Basham, on July 5, 2018

It might be that suicide and depression came to mind this morning after learning last evening that the son of a friend/colleague just took his own life. Or it might be that my nephew has again been back in jail, still seeking sobriety and a solid footing on the path of successful reentry to society […]

Fingers on Fur

By Debra Basham, on March 27, 2018

Preparations are underway to head to Smyrna tomorrow. We never say or think we are leaving Pine Island after enjoying “the season” here—we are going to see the grandkids!

Recently my brother-in-law experienced the death of the woman he had cared for the past five years. He was committed to her. They married in […]

Time Means Nothing at All

By Debra Basham, on March 18, 2018

Time has a way of slipping through our fingers. Looking back, we ask where it has gone. Of course, time means nothing at all.

A woman who lived with us for several years had an old cassette with a song by that title. It was so long ago I don’t honestly know who […]

Layers of Illusion

By Debra Basham, on March 8, 2018

When I saw this photo and quotation from 11:11 Awakening Code on my sister’s Facebook page, I resonated to the truth and once again appreciated Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as EFT or just “tapping.”

I have been participating in the 2018 World Tapping Summit for the last ten days. Learn more at thetappingsolution.com. […]

Spring

By Debra Basham, on March 3, 2018

There is a hard truth to be told: before spring becomes beautiful, it is plug ugly, nothing but mud and muck. I have walked in the early spring through fields that will suck your boots off, a world so wet and woeful it makes you yearn for the return of ice. But in that muddy […]

Cultural Peace

By Debra Basham, on February 26, 2018

Time is at once a limited commodity and an illusion. We an spend time, waste time, deny time, and transcend time.

At a workshop with Zan Henigan Lombardo, the focus was on how she let chaos in her life create something beautiful. Her work of art is an impressive 30-foot watercolor painting with an […]

Support

By Debra Basham, on February 18, 2018

This week has been rife with lessons. We experienced another school shooting, irrevocably changing lives while politics goes on as usual. The day before this shooting I was with people I consider to be of “like-mind” but even within this group, people are anything but like-minded about how we best bring forth peace.

Dr. […]

Tip of a Wish

By Debra Basham, on February 11, 2018

The idea of a perfect parent, perfect partner, or perfect day makes some people nervous. They think of all the ways things don’t measure up. A headache, a heartache, or an unfulfilled longing seems to stand in the way of perfection.

Imagine for a moment an eternity without sunshine, or rain for that matter. […]
