New years and new beginnings needn't be flamboyant — just let the light in
even if it's not possible to start completely over, there is still this: the day, opening into itself and you, parting the curtains, seeing all that light come in. – Maya Stein I snapped this photo from my bedroom window a few minutes ago, on this frigid 10° first day of 2011. It's a quiet,...
it baffles me how people calling themselves "christians" can be so filled with hate, fear, intolerance, ignorance.....
i certainly don't need to tell you that it's "ok" to let people go & be out of our lives. it has happened to me & i'm sure to all of your readers. i'm sorry for the pain this person caused you. let's send her light-- sounds like she needs it!

Some people are better left in the past
"For every person who might reject you if you live your truth, there are ten others who will embrace you and welcome you home." –Marianne Williamson Believe it or not, I honestly can't remember if/when I've ever been personally and openly judged by a self-proclaimed conservative Christian. But I...

Lab Results
The good news: It's not cancer. Thank God. Even though the results support my, and the vet's, intuition, I'm still vastly relieved. The strange news: It was something called mucinosis, a common affliction in Shar Peis, extremely rare in other breeds. True, Silas eats rice daily and has a black...
happy birthday carla! i hope you enjoyed your special day! may you have many more! xo alane

10 wishes for my new year
For my family, which naturally includes Silas and myself, to stay healthy. To get laid, well and often. (At least well. Often comes with its own complications. Because I still need to retain my independence and freedom. And that's probably enough disclaimers here!) Publish my book, Women at R...

When Good is Good Enough
I had a good day. It's been sneaking up on me since late last week, and today it softly landed. I'm both grateful and surprised. Grateful because it's my first good day since Lucy passed 6½ weeks ago. Surprised because I wasn't expecting to feel inner peace already. I wouldn't go so far as to ...
talk about honesty! and pouring your hearts out! that poem gave me the chills & i totally appreciate you sharing your feelings carla. i struggle with "exposing" my feelings to people & reading your blog helps me realize that it's ok to share, people, even strangers (like me to you) can relate & hope the best for you & not judge you (one of my fears). so thank you again for putting it out there-- maybe someday i'll do the same. alane

Sacred Life Sunday: Prowling for God
What would a man buried alive do? Try with all his strength to breathe the sun again, of course. Your hands, your feet, your eyes, your every word and thought, there is not one waking second the soul pounding against the cage of the body does not want God to rush into its lungs. The slee...
What a great picture. Thank you for posting it. I'm loving your candles! They are great! I think the thing about grief is that it doesn't allow you to be in the present moment. At least that is what I found. Life is so different after a loss-- some people just don't get that. I'm glad you are being good to yourself & doing what you need to do. May you find some peace in each new day.

Lucy's favorite napping spot, upside down in the backseat with door open "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for awhile." The Princess Bride A rough emotional week. Mornings are hardest. Before Lucy I'd never suddenly lost someone I love, much less witnessed the passage. One...
Hi Carla, I received my shipment of candles today. Thank you so much. You had mentioned in an earlier post that you packing your orders with tears in your eyes, so this package is extra special for sure. Again I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had many sudden losses in my life & it doesn't get easier. But I've learned the importance of taking care of myself, expressing myself to others & facing my reality with honesty helps. Sounds like you are doing all that too. May you find peace in each day, alane

Sacred Life Sunday: A New Normal
My favorite stretch of the Flathead River between Perma and St. Regis Yesterday I drove home from a spontaneous trip to Montana. I needed to be with my family at our annual reunion. Being there was surprisingly healing and definitely what Lucy would have wanted. I both missed her and felt her p...
hi carla, i ordered a few candles the other day so i appreciate your efforts during this time of grief. the way you express your grief is so touching-- thank you for sharing your grief-- when i lost my golden suddenly last year, i WISH i could have expressed myself as openly as you are. your words are helping me heal too, so again thank you. i'm glad you received such a special gift in the mail-- i'm sure things like that help. prayers to you, alane

Yesterday I received a card enclosing a small gold heart from my friend Carole. Carole and I have known each other since the mid-80s, when an old spiritual tribe found one another at Digital Equipment Corp. We reconnected on Facebook. She is an astrologer and healer. This is what she wrote: D...
