Weather

Something I love about Far West Texas…the dramatic shifts in weather and the skies that come with that. This morning it was mid 60’s and right now it’s 38 degrees and dropping rapidly.

Free at Last

A couple of weeks ago I made a very intentional decision to leave Facebook. When I deactivated my account “they” asked why.

I feel so helpless, wish I had the magic pill to soothe their suffering…and to sooth the smallness of my own as I feel this helplessness. I am reminded […]

HP

Even as a little girl I struggled with the idea of God. The image of him I was raised with, resembled Poseidon minus the big fork. He was sometimes scary, sometimes protective, but never compassionate. When I got sober I was introduced to the concept of Higher Power and I got to define that in […]
