Scrapbook, and how I got my Name
Hello again MLPailers! Something magical happened to me last night, and I wanted to make sure I share it with my heart-dwelling nestly owls of the internet=you! In 1992, I went through a soul-searing, toxic, scary, abusive relationship when I was 18 yo. I managed to escape from a terribly isolated situation, and made a vow, a promise you could say, that I would travel the world and see new places before I settled down, went to college, got married, blah, blah, etc, etc. Clearly that promise was an escape tactic in order for me to cope with the traumatic events from that ...
Goodnight Sweetheart
Do you remember this post, fellow Pailer's? http://mylittlepail.com/you-make-me-feel-like-dancing/ It talks about the strange flow of creative energy that writing requires in my life, and how it is intrinsically linked to the energy flow needed for dance. I've been dragging my heels about writing here, as the sense of connection, and satisfaction has waned steadily over the last 6 months. I would love to tell you it's just temporary. The fact is, I don't know. Statistically, I can tell you I will likely be back in a few years, but there's no guarantee of that. I was in this "what on earth should I do ...
The Ladies Who Brunch
A few years ago, two girlfriends and I, started a simple get-together, every 3 months or so, to have brunch and share about the details of our life. What happens at these brunches have grown into magical proportions. We don't dress up, unless we want to. We share who picks the place, and when. We sometimes talk more after the brunches, but for the most part, we don't. We have never fought after a brunch, nor AT a brunch. No one has ever bailed on a brunch, or showed up terribly late. We've had them mostly at restaurants, but also had ...
Friends for a…what’s between season and lifetime?
Edit to text for August 2010-I thought this post went out back in April, and by some fluke, I see it didn't. So I'm posting it now.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A few months back, a dead person came alive into my life. Maybe it would be easier on you if I called them "lost", or a "drifter". You know the person. You've heard the terms- Friends for a day; a season; a lifetime. This was someone who was in my life for a couple of years, pretty close, then whatwith one giant change, thingamabob, decision, choice, bugupthabutt what have you, he was gone. just evaporated. Drifted, as ...
The Art of Choice
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sheena_iyengar_on_the_art_of_choosing.html I can hardly add anything to this video, as it is one of the most masterful, thoughtful, thorough, and provocative presentations on Choice I've ever seen.I can only say how relieved I am, how recognized I feel, about the increasing paralyzation that occurs when I have to continually, exhaustingly, and completely make choices not only that are right for me, but for my loved ones, and for society at large. Enjoy!

Gratitude & Manifestions
I landed at the Oakland airport, on a sunny day in 1997. My mom came to rescue me from a dead end situation in Seattle, and as we drove back to her place in Napa, we started talking about manifestion. and it’s link to the force of gratitude. From this one spark of conversation, came a new way of thinking that changed my life, forever. I tried... [Read more of this review]
