The beauty of the canyon sang to me this morning as Judith and I walked up the hills and down the valleys. Green around us, blue skies with scattered clouds above us -- singing the song of the Uni-verse. I thought of all of us, the 7 billion people living on planet earth. Who are we [...]
Shae and I might have looked ridiculous dragging ski poles along a gravel road in the summertime. BUT the ski poles made a noise that might warn snakes of our approach. Shae did find one small dead snake - the color of a rattler. No other snakes detected. Snakes shed their skin and are considered [...]
Walking in the canyon this morning, I pondered the words "Partnership, Power and Freedom." I considered how my partnerships brought me power and freedom - with life, the energy of being, myself, my husband, my friends, my team of associates, etc. etc. etc. I thought about my partnership with the ski pole I brought along [...]
This morning I drove out of the canyon at 6:15 am to attend a Colorado Women of Influence Quarterly "Before Breakfast" event from 7 - 9 am. This is a group I am committed to and have been very active in because I am aligned with their mission "to create a community of supportive colleagues [...]

Last night in a brightly lit meeting room in the Hilton Hotel in Fort Collins, CO, I entered a new life. Women, thriving women, who faced or are facing breast cancer were called together to be "models" in the October 23rd event of "Hope Lives." The mission of Hope Lives Breast Cancer Support Center, founded in 2001 [...]
Thoughts of "vision" emerged as I walked the canyon roads this morning - prompted by the recent Colorado Women of Influence GALA and their "Women of Vision" awards. At the same time the theme of "Camelot" was playing in the background of my thoughts. Lyrics from the song "Follow me" NIMUE: Far from day, far [...]
Thanks, Judith, for a lovely walk this morning. As we were walking today I thought of the beautiful variety of skills and talents we each have. Often I think we take our talents and skills for granted. They are EASY for us! Indeed, they are easy BECAUSE they are our talents. "The majority of us [...]
Feelings of vast, immense gratitude emerge as my husband and I walked the roads of the canyon this morning. Yesterday,our neighbors and friends put on a Hootenany. The Ladies of the Canyon organized and executed a Silent Auction on my behalf. The auction raised $1306. The funds will be donated to Hope Lives Fort Collins, [...]
The cool morning breeze embraced us as we walked the canyon's hills and valleys this morning. As I contemplated my upcoming chemotherapy, beginning August 5th, administered every 3 weeks and lasting for 6 cycles if I can tolerate it, followed by 6 weeks of daily radiation, I wonder what will I experience? What will the "malaise" [...]
