Bare Perception

By Debra Basham, on October 28, 2019

At the time of this writing, I am still holding space for resolution with the issue of not having access to the SCS-Matters.com domain using my Comcast WiFi at home that began 10 days ago. This morning I was successful logging in using the unsecure Xfinity WiFi hotspot, and I am on my laptop at […]

Holy Hissy-fits

By Debra Basham, on October 23, 2019

Holy hissy-fits, Batman, have I been navigating the sacred darkness this week!

Last Friday morning I realized I was not able to log onto the SCS website. I @$$sumed our website was just down for some reason so I sent a text message to Joel and to our webmaster, Rebecca. Rebecca responded that she […]

Are You Afraid?

This past Saturday night our daughter Stacey and her husband hosted a Bon Voyage-Slushy Party. Approximately 75 friends and family feasted on Doug’s pulled pork, beef brisket, and homemade Granny’s BBQ sauce.

Here is the crew starting to pull the pork:

Here is the morning after in the back yard, with barely any […]

Dancing in the Darkness

By Debra Basham, on September 20, 2019

Aaron Daily Quote Everybody wants to be safe and comfortable. For most of you, your habitual pattern around being safe and comfortable is to move into a control mode. And so you try to think it out and plan it out and get it perfect and then rehash the plans and see if they can […]

In the Hands of the Divine

By Debra Basham, on September 12, 2019

Years ago I worked in a department store that had a pretty large jewelry section. Every time there was a chain with knots (and there were always chains with knots) I was the one who was given the job of de-tangling. I became really good at it.

I am doing that right now as […]

Tangled Webs

By Debra Basham, on September 6, 2019

One morning I photographed an amazing web wet with the morning dew. Later that evening, I mentioned the web while at dinner with friends. My one friend grimaced, said she hated spiders, and since dinner was in the home of our mutual friend, who was also desirous for our dear friend’s fears to be gone, […]

Presence of Angels

By Debra Basham, on August 29, 2019

It has been a very full week. Early Tuesday morning I met my sister and brother-in-love at the hospital. She was having an angiogram, with the possibility of angioplasty or a stent, if necessary. After she was prepped for the procedure, we were able to sit with her as she waited. She mentioned that her […]

NOT Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

By Debra Basham, on August 21, 2019

It is interesting where sayings come from that sit in our memory banks and shape our experiences without our noticing.

One such saying comes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries when two-story apartment houses sprung up during the manufacturing boom. Cheaply built, with identical floor plans on the first and second floor, […]

Yoga108

Tonight is one of those times when tears are just so close to the surface. Perhaps it is because 57 years ago yesterday I had a near death experience. Things that happen to you change your world view….

Perhaps it is because this morning I got to work with a man, and a woman, and […]
