By Debra Basham, on January 16, 2018 Listening to the wind blowing, thoughts come to mind of how relative our perspective is. A prime example of that is weather.
Bundled up out for a walk, Floridians see Michiganders riding bikes in shirt sleeves.
Americans look into a brimming pantry complaining about nothing to eat.
“No Ordinary Face” was first shared […]
By Debra Basham, on January 5, 2018 As a writer, generating material is as easy as paying attention to the burr beneath your saddle. On January 5 of this year wishing our granddaughter happy birthday pulled me back 19 years to the day she was born. The words “winter wonderland” — one of the nicknames for Michigan, my home state, were not […]
By Debra Basham, on December 18, 2017 I love order. Maybe I am not totally excessive compulsive about it, but I when I have been called a “neat freak” I have taken that as a compliment.
This week, as many others are busy with holiday preparations, I am preparing our tiny house for a big construction project that will begin right […]
By Debra Basham, on December 12, 2017 It is a wintry day again. For the time being, I have abandoned the riding of my Airdyne in the chilly barn for walking on a treadmill in the warmth of the community room.
My least favorite part of the winter weather is how I brace against it. The whole body tenses up, […]

I used to have a “Dinner will be ready when the smoke alarm goes off” refrigerator magnet. This evening the smoke alarm went off here in the tiny house but I was not burning dinner. I was burning a piece of paper in Frankincense and Dragon’s Blood Resin to release an ancient pattern of […]
By Debra Basham, on December 2, 2017 The holiday season is a time when we do a lot of giving and receiving. One gift I received was enjoying lunch out with Jane Foster. Jane had 22 malignant tumors on her liver when her surgeon closed her up in 1999 and told her he could not keep cutting on her. He said she […]
By Debra Basham, on November 12, 2017 Some of us are fond of saying “the devil made me do it” when we’ve done something we’re not too proud of.
We might as well say “the ego made me do it” because the ego is our own personal “devil.”
In God’s Care by Karen Casey
I certainly experienced that devilish […]
By Debra Basham, on November 3, 2017 I am breathing myself into the present moment as I wait further news of the journey of my nephew, David. This morning something happened at the house in Allegan and he may not be staying there after tomorrow. He already has permission to go back to the Mission in Holland where he knows he will […]
By Debra Basham, on October 27, 2017 I am not sure who the spiritual teacher was that first told me whatever message you receive for another, realize the message is for you first. That message or lesson or truth also applies to the other, but it is for YOU. Perhaps it was something learned in Ryan Elliott’s L-O-N-G intake form for hypnotherapy. […]
By Debra Basham, on October 20, 2017 As my fingers fly across the keyboard right now a dear friend is meeting to set up hospice care for her mother. My friend has had a history of white-coat syndrome—she has been very fearful of all things medical.
This is part of an email message I sent to her:
