Living with Uncertainty, or At Peace in the Chaos
I had oral surgery yesterday. It involved one of my favorite teeth, the front one. Right there as a main feature of my smile. My own body is attacking the root, and so there is only a small portion of the original left now. The rest was reinforced today with whatever the latest material is that they use to simulate a tooth, and the doctor advised I not spend any more money on that tooth for cosmetic retouching until it is certain I’ll get to keep it. I looked up teeth/root canal in Louise Hays’ handy...

November and December were challenging months in our household. Perhaps it was simply Mercury in retrograde, maybe the effects of long-term holiday sugar over-dosing, or whatever, but words were exchanged. Looks, too.

Past Life Regressions are a great tool to feel, express and release messy emotions.

It felt wonderful and so safe and an incredible relief to release something that had been stored inside since my toddler days. But all emotions are not leftovers from childhood.

Last week while in Spain, we visited art museums, a palace, churches, narrow winding streets cacophonous with vendors. Street performers were everywhere, the level of talent variable, the passion evident. From watching pilot whales in the Straights of Gibraltar, to stumbling across a heroin addict needle in arm sitting on an ancient wall in Tangier, the images tangle, weave and inspire. Oh Life! There was one moment, though, where I felt my spirit still and find a center in all of this movement, color, story and...
