Dealing with Devastation

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 […]

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 […]

Shadow Work

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 […]

We Are Moved!

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:

A Week’s Lifetime I. I’ve slept in my bed in this house the last Sunday of my life. The scent […]

Property Virgins

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.

Our […]

A Beautiful Meeting

By Debra Basham, on July 15, 2017

I was awake st 3:00 am and purged the roll-top desk in the living room before heading over to meet Kathy Zerler at the new house to paint the master bedroom. We are so happy with how it turned out, and I now have a freshly-made up air mattress so we can rest as we […]

A New Home

By Debra Basham, on July 5, 2017

This morning as I am so grateful for making time to get my fingers on the keyboard as my “to-do-list” grows longer and my time-table grows shorter. I notice how relevant that is to all those who are in their later years. I have lived 67 years, and in this body probably do not have […]

COIK

By Debra Basham, on June 25, 2017

I have been doing a lot of contemplation regarding the healing capability of your mind, body, and spirit. This model of medicine is overlooked by most of us in the U.S. Conversations this week have been with clients, friends, colleagues, and family. Perhaps the real challenge is the military idea of Clear Only If Known […]

Garage Floor!

By Debra Basham, on June 19, 2017

Everything and everyone will teach you something.

What did you learn yesterday?

What will you learn today?

Anything that angers you is teaching you FORGIVENESS and COMPASSION.

Anything that causes you frustration or discouragement is teaching you PATIENCE and ENDURANCE.

~Based on the Law of Attraction

As is so truly the case, […]
