By Debra Basham, on January 23, 2017 Does it make sense to you that when you keep bumping into something in your life, it is about you rather than just about what (or whom) you are bumping in to? That has been happening for me again. I enjoyed using a new poetry form to gain insight and freedom.
The form of […]
By Debra Basham, on January 15, 2017 Do you remember wanting to be old enough for kindergarten? Old enough to stay home alone? Old enough to babysit? Old enough to drive a car? Old enough to vote or drink?
Remember when you thought forty was old?
One of the best things about age is its relativity. I was mother to a […]
By Debra Basham, on January 8, 2017 Twenty-seven years ago today, I became a grandma. Grandparenting has been and is one of the most glorious roles of my life, but I often say I went kicking and screaming into it. I was only thirty-nine when our daughter, Stacey, told us she was expecting. I was working full time. I did volunteer work. […]
By Debra Basham, on December 29, 2016 Perhaps you remember having heard the name Dr. Saul Shaye. If not, I certainly hope this post gets your attention.

By Debra Basham, on December 23, 2016 I applied for the position of an “Opinion Columnist” in our local newspaper. A good friend/writer colleague had suggested I apply.
It might seem odd to those who might think a committed spiritual person may not have a lot of interest in the things of the world, but that is untrue. We care deeply about […]
By Debra Basham, on December 15, 2016 What is my definition of heartbreak?

By Debra Basham, on November 7, 2016 While it may not immediately make total sense to everyone, my silent insight meditation retreat week was made much richer just because on Monday when we arrived I signed up to be the bell ringer for Saturday.

Regret & Remorse Are photo-shopped Pixels of fragmented False memories. Reboot. Enjoy the whole show.
Francie Lynch, June 6, 2015
This is one of those lessons I hope I can remember to benefit from for the rest of my life.
I love scarves. Seeing a perfectly chosen scarf as the pièce […]
By Debra Basham, on October 22, 2016 If you are a fan of the Chicago Cubs, you know that the events happening at this time are a very big deal. The Cubs won back-to-back World Series championships in 1907 and 1908, becoming the first Major League team to play in three consecutive World Series, and the first to win it twice. While […]
By Debra Basham, on October 4, 2016 Life is wonderFULL. Some days and some times of our lives are definitely more full than others.
Today is the one year anniversary of my mother-in-law’s transition. I’ve written about her passing in Musings from an Estate Sale, and spoken about it in Celebrations of Life, a talk given at Unity by the Lakeshore the […]
