There was a day
Before the day you were born
I wandered in the aisles of the grocery store
I stopped at red lights
And drove through “good” green lights.
I heard birds singing
And saw flowers blooming
I read the news
Took a deep breath
And looked to the otters for hope
And to the bears and deers
And the quivering leaves of the young maple trees
So that I may remember
Where to look for truth and love.

Clarify Your Food Choices
I wonder about the difference between “organically grown” and “conventionally grown” produce at the grocery store. Being an introvert, I never ask about it. I started researching online and found myself overwhelmed with competing information. I see information that reads like marketing based on fear and self-promotion on every side of the “organic vs conventionally” grown debate.
I have my personal opinions
I haven’t updated these opinions or perspectives in a long time.
Today I’m putting on my “big girl boots”, pushing through my introversion and asking my gro ..read more

I’ve been waiting for years to “see how things will turn out”.
Waiting for the time that I feel more peaceful, or happier, or when the time comes that I actually know all the way through me why I am here and what my life is about.
It’s been a long wait.
These days I wait to see what will happen with the new president in the US. Will peace happen now? Will our country find a way to live up to its ideals? I’ve been waiting to see how I might be a part of the process.
I’ve been waiting and watching as frustration, anger, rage, and hate grow. I find myself waiting to see wh ..read more

Health and Happiness all Year Long
Have you noticed how people are constantly adjusting to the weather? I know this is a simple question, but it has profound implications.
In the winter, when it is cold, we put on our heavy coats, gloves, scarf, etc. In the summer it is just the opposite. These simple changes are what I refer to as “lifestyle adjustments” within the Meridian Massage Approach to health and healing. Making these changes is a relatively simple way that we care for our health. But there is more that we can do!
Harmonize with the Seasons
We live in relationship to Nature Which is ..read more
