By Debra Basham, on November 17, 2021 Perhaps it is busy mind preparing for our seasonal move south, or maybe the Beaver Moon (named for the November moon because of how the beavers prepare for winter), but I am wide awake and have fingers on the keyboard. While darkness drapes the sky, I am listening to an amazing Lion’s Roar interview with […]
By Debra Basham, on November 15, 2021 I just attended a 3-day Vipassana retreat with Barbara Brodsky, Aaron, and John Orr, “The One Heart We All Share.” This was the online description:
What is this one heart we all share? It is our true nature, the essence of our being, which is love and light. Meditation is one effective way of coming […]
By Debra Basham, on November 4, 2021 “Just because we are afraid doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Doesn’t mean a mistake is being made. Doesn’t even mean, necessarily, we’re in danger.”
~ Adyashanti, “Letting Go of Fear” from In the Face of the Infinite
It is 6:21 am and I am sitting with an ice pack on my left hip writing […]
By Debra Basham, on October 28, 2021 From the 1992 film, “Death Becomes Her”:
[Lisle (Isabella Rossellini) hands Madeleine (Meryl Streep) the vial of potion.]
Madeleine: “Bottoms up.”
[She drinks the potion.]
Lisle Von Rhuman: “Now a warning.”
Madeleine: “NOW a warning?”
This information may feel a lot like that. It has been an intense yet slow-moving past few months, with […]
By Debra Basham, on October 13, 2021 From my journal entry of an exercise during class on mediumship with Barbara Brodsky:
You need not teach anything, Dear One, just live as your own consciousness evolves. You have been here before — but not exactly!
Think for a moment about the park you live in now. “Separate” homes are owned and lived in […]
By Debra Basham, on October 7, 2021 One must have chaos in oneself in order to give birth to a dancing star. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Recently I had a very tender sharing with a dear friend. It was tender because each of us is doing the best we can to love one another and that process isn’t always neat and tidy.

By Debra Basham, on September 25, 2021 We are feeling sad with the passing of John’s eldest brother, Jerry, shortly before midnight on Friday evening, September, 24, 2021.
The date was already special – grandson Brad and Christina got married exactly five years ago!
This photo of the five Basham brothers was taken at the wedding. Jerry is on the […]
By Debra Basham, on September 20, 2021 John and I rallied from Covid sufficiently to make the trip to Tennessee for our granddaughter’s wedding. There are sooooooo many significant points about this wedding.
Courtney’s brother, Brad, was on emergency stand-by to officiate if John and/or I were not recovered sufficiently to make the trip. He had just officiated at the wedding […]
By Debra Basham, on September 14, 2021 Three weeks ago today John and I were babysitting with Jackson, our 8-month-old great-grandson, while his mom worked (from G-Ma’s house).
That evening we got to see the barn on the property at Bradyville. Soooooo happy for Brad and Christina!
Three weeks feels like a lifetime.
John received the Monoclonal Antibody Therapy […]
By Debra Basham, on September 3, 2021 John will receive Monoclonal Antibody Therapy today.
Stacey recovered sufficiently to drive 2 and 1/2 hours from Smyrna to Cleveland, Tennessee, to be a support for our granddaughter, Courtney, after she and our great-grandson, Jackson, also tested positive for Covid.
Four-generations navigating Covid…. not a claim-to-fame I would have chosen.
At this time the […]
