As mentioned in my previous blog, there have been slow but sure changes in Mumsie lately.
I guess I didn’t really realize how stressful it was until, after one particularly tiring day mostly spent bickering with Mumsie, I snapped poor Hubby’s head off after he made an innocuous statement. He didn’t say a word at the time, bless him, but he did bring it up again that night when Mumsie...Continue Reading: Caring for the Caregiver

I watched my little Zen master playing with my uncle the other day.
Almost 90 years’ difference.

Summer’s here, which means our “bed & breakfast” is up and running again, with various relatives and friends visiting from far and near.

In the past, they knew it. Yet thousands of years later we still don’t get it. We are seeing an increase in diabetes and obesity all over the globe. 
What does healing mean to you?
We all want to feel whole. We desire a sense of completeness. This is a sensation of being all right within our bodies, our minds and our lives.
