Open Door, New Path
If you’ve watched the reality TV show Intervention, you know there comes that crucial moment in each story told when the addict must decide—will they get help or not? Usually, it seems, they do. Every now and then, they refuse. As I write today, I am thinking of someone I care about standing at just such a crossroads. Within the next 24 hours this person is in a place where simply saying “yes” could mean the difference between life and death. We are hopeful, but also doubtful. Partly, it is because this...

I’m a huge Joseph Campbell fan. Campbell is widely heralded as one of the foremost authorities on myth, which means he was enthralled by stories.

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. And then, as it always does for us, it passed, like a bad cold, and harmony has been restored. It’s nice to be on the same team again. Right towards the end of this time of disturbance, husband Keith and I were heading into town together. We’d just gotten to the stop sign about a half...
