New Mini Garden
First thing this morning, I spent an hour digging out the small mini-garden that has been giving me grief for years and replaced it. I dug out the soil that was peppered with perennial paperwhite (I think) bulbs that the previous owner had planted there before we moved in 14 or 15 years ago.…

A Lesson in Humility: White Supremacist Patriarchy Must End
Yesterday I ran across an article that chapped my hide. Far right white supremacist patriarchal ideologues — the same sort of folks who are now proclaiming that the January 6th insurrection was “legitimate political discourse” and that the disgraced and twice-impeached former president will remain their ever-present mouthpiece and Leader (Fuhrer/Savior) of choice —…
Be Sure to Cherish & Frequently Recall Precious Memories
I simply had to get up out of bed to write this. It feels that significant to me, even though I may end up failing in my attempt to do what I’m now going to try to do, without further ado. I was in bed, meditating, segueing from mind to no mind, from a…
“Let It Be”
Every so often (but very rarely), I get a snarky comment from people who don’t know me, have never met me, but consider themselves experts on my “motives” for having befriended and eventually cared for (as a personal assistant and caregiver) actor DeForest Kelley and written several books about him. They pose as having…
My Two Most Memorable Childhood Christmases
My sister Laurel (left) and me, 1952 (Looks like I think I’m being abducted here!!!) My two most memorable childhood Christmases happened while my family lived in Spanaway, Washington in the 1950’s. Although I never considered us a poor family as a kid (what does a kid know about finances?), I now realize…

“He’s Still Here!”
I’ve been researching spirit/power/guide animals. What I’ve discovered gave me a powerful lucid dream last night about Deaken, my serval son, who was 17 and a quarter when he passed away peacefully (with a little help from his friends) after a full lifetime. (If you’ve read my book SERVAL SON: SPOTS AND STRIPES FOREVER: You…
“Write Another Book!”
If You’re Not Going to Promote Your Book, Why Did You Even WRITE It? That is a very good question! I feel called out, but I am not “Anna Banana.” I feel called out, especially because my dear friend Helen Schofield just said to me yesterday during a Facebook chat, “Write Another Book!”…
