  • How to Visit Holy Ground

    Whenever I’ve visited a place I consider sacred ground, I must both approach and leave it in a respectful way.  Otherwise, I have a hard time absorbing the specialness of it and an even harder time breaking loose from it. I first discovered that I needed a technique for getting the most out of such…

  • Sexual Harassment, Molestation, and Heroes

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. I have been silent long enough. I had decided to keep quiet  as  long as  Daddy  was  alive  because  there  were times, growing up, when I saw Daddy wave a gun to defend other people and I was afraid he’d be my hero and…

  • Santa’s Mail Box?

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. I’m checking out my mailbox for who’s been naughty or nice. Sometimes I get unsigned posts and anonymous emails through online forms. Those intrigue me. The hate mail is easy to pick out right away and I usually know the identity of the sender…

  • Looking Forward

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. Everything in my bones says the next few months are critical. A major life turning point.

  • It’s a Wonderful Life

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. More has happened in the past year than I dreamed possible, and other things I’d dreamed have not yet come to pass, though I understand why now and they are just beginning to come into place now. I guess that makes this a pretty…

  • Payback Time?

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. What I really want to ask my mother is this: exactly how many people still owe you money and will you honestly tell me?   Just because Daddy’s dead now does not absolve the moral obligation to pay it back to her, and she…

  • Christmas Oopsie

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. I took my mom for a little drive around town so she could see the Christmas lights. Things had changed a bit since she was last able to be gone from home (and from Daddy’s bedside) long enough to see the  lights, and we…

  • Insight and Answers: Just a Little Yule Gift for Me

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. Occasionally,  the Universe  gives me these little presents of insight. They normally hit me like the proverbial anvil on the head. And they almost always come after a big breakthrough of some sort. I’ve had that breakthrough in the past couple of days, though…

  • How To Tell a Bad Life Coach

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. I’d don’t believe you need a gazillion credentials to be good at the  job you do, though  if you’ve been recommended  to  me  for  brain surgery,  I’m  probably  a little more concerned about your skills than your bedside manner. However, I do understand the…

  • The Real Secret of the Law of Attraction

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Contrast. I’ve heard about  the Law of Attraction  for decades and for at  least the last five or six years, as part of my spiritual study, I’ve understood it and tried to follow it. Like many (most?) who are attracted to the Law of Attraction…
