I’m learning. My mentor has reminded me several times now to look at my decisions from the standpoint of how they fit into my life purpose. Through our few sessions, I’ve come to realize that whenever my decisions haven’t been aligned with my purpose, I’ve [...]

While racing off to work Friday morning, I ran out of the house in the rain, hopped in the car, backed up three feet, and saw something…odd…in the grass that Shannon better mow this week or else. I couldn’t tell what it was. I thought [...]

He really is very cute, this young blond man. He re- minds me of a couple of captains and lieutenants from my early career days. Piercing blue eyes and a lethal smile.
He wants to meet me for a drink sometime soon. He suggests a night [...]

Time travel hurts, okay? Not always, but tonight it did. If for no other reason, because it was just so unexpected and so raw. And I was so powerless.
Earlier, while Aislinn slept off a virus, Shannon and I watched The Gift, one of my favorite [...]

“It’s crazy,” Shannon tells me. “All you parents are so scared to death that us teenagers are going to go meet some pervert we meet online, and yet all these moms of teenagers are out there meeting with—and sleeping with—men they’ve met online and know [...]

Positive thinkers are huge believers in magick, even if they don’t know what it’s called and can’t explain it.
My mentor isn’t pagan and doesn’t particularly under- stand quantum physics, or magick, or why affirmations work, which is why I was smiling all throughout her explanation. [...]

I am in a dark hall, wandering. The ceiling is low and the walls are made of stones, grayish and larger than my hands, with grout that’s blackened. This is an old place. The floor is either dirt or stone that’s as smooth as concrete.
I [...]

Sometimes my kids make great observations and at other times, they’re more like court reporters, capturing every utterance.
I’d heard that Dark Revelations got a review from RT’s
Book Reviews magazine, so we ran over to Destin for a pleasant dinner, then by Barnes and Noble to [...]

While waiting for a meeting, I have a chance to talk to a colleague I haven’t spoken with in years. You’d never know by looking at her, but she’s a marriage junkie.
When I first met her a decade or more ago, she was already on [...]

Sometimes I wish I didn’t have such a head for numbers. Numbers as in dates. Calendar dates.
I associate so many dates with different people, different events, with birthdays or anniversaries and things we did on those dates, even long ago. Even when they’re happy things, [...]

Since the Big Announcement yesterday, the publishing industry has been a-twitter about the decision to halt Silhouette’s action-adventure single-title-crammed-into- category line, Bombshell, as of the release of the January
2007 books. I’m very sad to see this happen—because I loved the concepts and both Natashya Wilson [...]

After visiting with her dad’s mother this weekend, Aislinn brought home some jewelry she’d bought, plus a few extra pieces from her grandmother. Every now and then, the girls bring home old costume jewelry from her house or from one of her relatives. This time, [...]

I don’t want to sleep. I don’t want to wake up in the morning and find this wonderful feeling gone. If I had a man in my house, I’d probably keep him up all night!
I’m not sure how long it will last but [...]

The man is back in my dreams. Has been all week. Every now and then, like last Tuesday morning, I wake feeling that he’s been sleeping next to me all night—not in a sexual way but in a sense of closeness—and has left the bed [...]

A lite colonel I used to work with looks me up about once every 5 years. This time, he waited about 6 before emailing me out of the blue.
I met him back about 1988 or so when we were both working on our Masters’ degrees [...]

Something is shifting again. I felt it so strongly this morning that, even though I finally had a chance to sleep in, that I had to force myself nor to get up right away. Boy, was that hard!
I’ve felt a little of it this past [...]

“Some people can’t be healed.”
I re-read the statement from a friend who moved a year ago. I don’t want to believe that, but it resonates, perhaps because yesterday I heard an NPR story about terminally ill children and some of the medical practices pursued to [...]

My intuition’s been telling me something disturbing about some people who keep mucking around in my life and refuse to leave me alone. I haven’t been able to prove it but I could “feel” it. And you know how weary I get of people discounting [...]

I finally got my hair cut. But that’s not the surprise. Yes, I’d meant to get it cut in March, but I was too swamped. While I took care of making appointments for everyone else, I didn’t get around to doing my own. Still, I [...]

I have one last bit of data to find before I can file the tax return I extended in April when I was sick and over- worked and sick of being overworked. I think I can safely find the data now because I unexpectedly found [...]

Ah, synchronicity. My email folders were so full that I wasn’t allowed to send another message until I cleaned out the old stuff. So what should I find in a massive deletion of ancient emails but an exchange with the post- divorce counselor whose session [...]

A colleague has reprimanded me for acting on intuition rather than fact, even though the results were dead- on. She says I need to go with what’s “real.” But what’s “real” isn’t necessarily what’s true. What’s “real” isn’t even what can be verified by scientific [...]

My daughter posted on her private blog a list of 10 things she wishes she could say but she can’t, for varying reasons, and it made me think about what I wish I could say but I can’t, also for varying reasons. And why I [...]

Certain abilities of mine are strengthening. Like muscles being worked, so are the meditative abilities of the mind. I remember being terribly jealous of friends who could simply “see things.” I never considered myself “visual” and was occasionally denigrated for not having that ability.

Holy crap. Out of the blue, someone approached me today about a potential job. A good one. Perhaps the best Defense Department job that’s been waved in my face. Not that it’s been offered officially. This was more of a raise-the-antenna-and-feel-her-out-to-see-if-she’d-be- interested kind of thing. [...]
