UH-OH — I’VE DONE IT AGAIN!
Voice: Done what again?
Me: Fell face first into a smoldering caldron of fear, that’s what.
Voice: Oh dear. What’s that all about?
Me: Beats me! All I know is that I want to run like my hair’s on fire and head for the hills— or maybe the kitchen would be better . . .
Welcome to Voices. This delightfully chatty book of blogs blends memoir, personal journal, and blog into a mix of self-awareness, self-doubt, vulnerability, insight, and wisdom. Served with a twist of humor, it delivers a lighthearted, optimistic, highly personal view of one who spends her days waffling somewhere between the shenanigans of the ego and the powerful allure of the soul.
In an unflinchingly honest look at the inner workings of a mind in constant search of enlightenment, we find a beacon of light that shines through the darkness into a world that is in desperate need of hope. A romp through the pages of Voices will amuse, uplift, and inspire—and offer the comfort of knowing that every bubble of fear that oozes to the surface of the cauldron can be transformed from outer chaos to inner peace, and from fear to love.

The World is As We See It
Today I’m I having one of those days—a do-nothing, can’t-seem-to-get-into-gear kind of days. Once in a while, that’s fine.
Just Say Yes
In the early days of the pandemic, I received a call from a friend asking me how I was, and what I was doing for kicks. It made me smile, and then wonder what I was doing for kicks...
