Remarkable Lucid Dreams Last Night
I had a couple remarkably lucid dreams last night, one of them confrontational, the other mystical and magical. CONFRONTATIONAL DREAM In the confrontational dream, I was with my far-right sister and two of her male friends, who looked like Neanderthal knuckle-draggers to me. (Not at all like my younger sister’s actual friends, most…
Welcome to Lakewood/Tacoma, Ben Taylor!
Yesterday Lisa and I spent ten hours helping Ben Taylor move from Olympia to Lakewood/Tacoma to be closer so that getting together more often isn’t such a challenge. (Ben, and Edward Smith of Yelm, often accompany us when we go somewhere special or have holiday celebrations, so having Ben closer makes doing so a lot…
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…
