Today, I have few demons. I am filled with gratitude every morning when I wake up and I count my blessings before falling asleep each night. As the days pass, I will postdate the rest of my journey to the present, but, I feel I must also speak of today. My journaling of my struggles [...]
It is another Full Moon. On every full moon, I tend to give myself some space. I now know that I am sensitive to the phases of the moon, and am subject to slipping towards the darkness if I am not careful. Something is different this month, I have been focused on where I am [...]
I believe that we are being presented with one of the most important of events this coming Tuesday, July 17th. On that morning, at 7:11 AM EST, I will be sitting in meditation directing the Love that I feel when I am doing what I love while on the planet, to the planet. Thanking her for providing [...]
When I found myself pregnant again, and single, I decided I wanted a home birth. My dear friend, Lydia, who had given me my first job in Cocoa Beach with her lawn company, was a midwife. She kindly agreed to attend my birth, and everything was progressing just fine, until she decided to move to [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, I subscribed to Mother Earth News magazine, and usually read it cover to cover. The beginnings of my life as the sprout lady began after I read an article from the Nov./Dec. 1978 issue. The front cover had a star with a caption inside which read “Earn $1,000 a month Growing Sprouts”. [...]

My first year at Edinboro State College was a disaster! My grades were horrible. I hardly ever attended classes, spending most of my time either in the Student Union playing double pinochle or at the Fraternity houses drinking. Needless to say, my memory of that year is slim. My first semester in the dorm close to campus [...]
After the car accident I did my best to self destruct. Alcohol was my friend, it made me forget. So much so that I often went into blackouts and had no recollection of the events during my drinking. In hindsight, I truly was a lost soul. There was no forgiveness to be found other than [...]
I can not resist the opportunity to express how ironic the celebration of this day is in our fine United States of America! Today, it is politically incorrect to talk politics. In fact, discussion of most any topic is a challenge. Most folks hold to an ideology that they have no idea how they adopted. [...]
I was only 15, a sophomore in high school, dating a senior who had a brand new 1966 GTO. It was April 1st, Friday night. I was working until 9 PM and told my dad that I was going over to where my girlfriend was babysitting afterwards. But, as soon as I left work, I [...]
