Stormy Week in Manitou Springs

This has been a week of rain storms and sirens going off warning of Flash Flooding. Monday the new siren just a block from me went off along with both my phones and the radio and the siren in my home all at once. Highway 24 was closed, people were turned away from town. That […]

Communication Glitches Have Plagued Me Recently

I have to admit at the Young Living Convention there were a few communication glitches with my roommate. The first night, when we were discussing about timing to get up and ready for the first morning, she reminded me she meditates for 2 hours each morning. I told her I needed 1.5 hr to get […]

A Hike and Raindrop for My Body and Spirit

The day after the Commonwheel Art Festival jury, I worked on getting all the information sorted out and getting the checks copied and deposited in the bank.

And the Challenges Just Keep Coming

Can’t believe I haven’t posted since the 13th of May! My hiking friend and I had discussed doing a hike and then going to the hot springs on Wednesday, but that didn’t’ happen. I wasn’t ready to expose the rash on my leg to water shared by lots of people and neither of us sounded […]

A Blue Heron Made My Day Tolerable By Adding Unexpected Beauty

This has been a very challenging day. First, my Healing Circle actually got me a bit angry rather than taking a step towards healing. She spoke of a way of seeing the World in a way I find very difficult to embrace. And it just doesn’t resonate with me at all. So I won’t be […]

Monday, April 28, I met with Rocky Mountain Highway coordinator for the Beer Garden at Trinity Brewery on Garden of the Gods. He had a meeting there and I had a meeting near there shortly after […]

Hiking Ute Trail and a Long Day at Commonwheel Gallery in Manitou Springs

Woke up feeling a bit achy the Monday morning. After yesterday’s gardening adventure, the muscles in my upper legs and butt were a bit sore. Though not too painful, just a good reminder that I need to exercise is ways other than hiking to keep all parts of my body in better shape. I worked […]
