Spider
Spider has been showing up recently, first in my dreams. Spider is a weaver between the past and the present. The center of her web marks a beginning with threads moving ever-outward represent the potential of a courageous future. Spider will not survive if she stays in the safe, early weaving of center, yet the center holds the balance for the entire web. What does not hold strong at the edges of the web will be returned to the center for recreation. Spider appeared in the past life regression that my friend,...

I have a friend, Sandy, who creates the most amazing lampwork glass beads. Truly each one contains has that spark of great beauty such as is found in nature.

I’ve just read the first draft of Chapter 15 of my novel, The Turn Out, written last September. I’m working on Chapter 31 now and I’ve made some drastic changes—like the name of my main character. Things happen in the writing of a novel. Edits and changes are necessary. In Chapter 15 I wrote that Brigita, the protagonist, helped her mother to paint a room. Since then, I’ve researched the décor of homes back in the late 1800s and they were not painted, but papered. I changed all the references to...
