If you would like to submit, simply visit the  ABOUT  page for guidelines & contact information. MY DOOR, EVERMORE Soft, shallow music flowing, Birds whispering their quiet, undemanding love, Lustrous trees bending to the powerful wind That’s just outside my door - evermore. Can’t you hear the music from where you stand? The echoed chirps of love? Can you feel the wind blowing, my friend? Just outside my open door – evermore. Inside the open door Is a small, neat, cozy mat. And on its face clearly written: welcome. To your right is a place for your hat. Inside my door - evermore.

Things to be left in the outside world. Look a...

It’s a refuge. A sanctuary. A future.” Renamed  Pixie Preserve — because it’s a place of magic, mystery, and immense potential - now has several successful projects in place including: • Restoring barretal habitat — the last known home of the Manfreda Giant-Skipper, a butterfly so rare, it’s been pushed to the brink of extinction by habitat loss. • Planting 12,000+ native seedlings — tailored to saline soils and resilient against invasive grasses. • Building a LEED-certified ...

Positive Healing

I had the opportunity to re-visit an interview I was invited to do on the  Advisor Podcast    and while listening to it again I discovered this important part of the discussion below about surrounding oneself with positivity in order to heal, recover strength and become our own friend.  “  I found that I had to completely change my life and protect myself, so I went into overdrive and eliminated of all the magazines, all the newspapers cancelled television cancelled any relationship or any thing that was not negative in my life and just surrounded myself in a very selfish bubble like cocoon until I could heal myself.  Writing became a massive tool for me to heal during all of this.
