Quote from Post– Time for Stillness
Time can feel as if it stills when you take a moment to be fully present in your life and experience it in all of its sensory detail.
One pure moment holds the power to create infinite love.
I wrote this post about mindfulness swiftly by hand in a notebook while my daughter performed movement therapy in a Buddhist temple with her mind/body/spirit psychologist. Perhaps the peaceful surroundings informed my writing and made it feel effortless. I return to this post and read it often as a reminder to capture those moments that matter.

Quote from Post– Autism: A Sweet Sideways Squint into my Daughter’s World
A peephole into the world of my daughter–who has autism–as conveyed through her funny and profound quotes.
Sometimes life tells you to tilt you head, sideways squint, peer through a new perspective.
I came up with the phrase “sideways squint” while brainstorming a blog with my husband called Autism Blue Moon for parents of children with autism. We haven’t been able to create it yet due to time constraints. However, I chose Sideways Squint as the name of a category that would speak to ways I have merged into my daughter’s world as a means to more fully connect with her.

Quote from Post– Soul Friend: the Sacred Space of Silence
This post explores a soul friendship between an elderly man and a woman trying to grow her soul.
A spirit friend flies you to the light. A soul friend sits rooted with you in the dark.
This post I wrote through many tears and against a backdrop of soothing music as I honored my soul friend, George, who passed away last summer. I touched on the concept of a soul friend who sits rooted in silence during times of grief, as well as a spirit friend who helps you fly.

Quote from the Post– Dog Love is a Mom Soul Soother
A mom who fears dogs eventually falls in Dog Love when her new puppy, a yellow lab, connects with her daughter who has autism.
When life grows cold a dog will warm your soul.
I wrote this mini-story with my lovable lab, Cali, lounging on a bed in my study. All the while, Cali stared sometimes at me, sometimes out the window at the fox, deer, squirrels visiting our front yard. Every so often I hugged Cali, my big furry muse. She took it in stride, accustomed to my oddities while writing.

Quote from Post– Soul Story: Hollow Wood and the Heart of Amber
A soul story about leaving Hollywood behind to teach kindergarten in Watts wherein I discover a precious gem in a student named Amber.
To unearth a soul story, sit in quietness, reflect on your past and retrieve a gemstone.
I created the first draft for this soul story while sitting near my favorite oak in my backyard. Then I refined it while listening to beautiful piano music. This piece moves people, I believe, because it touches on a meaningful relationship flavored with synchronicity, the passage of time, heart and soul.
