Conversations on the Healing Journey
Conversations on the Healing Journey
I cherish the memories of tea and conversation with my sister and mother. On this healing journey I’d like to create our own conversations of healing.
Consider this an invitation to share your thoughts with me as we explore the things that hurt us and the things that heal, together.
To the best of my ability, I will create audio recordings of these posts for those who are hearing impaired or just prefer to listen instead of read. However, there are a lot of back posts, and I’m also limited in time as I’m working on a number of projects.
Like me, this blog is a work in progress, so I thank you for your patience. And thank you for joining me on this leg of your healing journey! Are you ready? Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. I’ll put the kettle on.

More and more it seems that mountain is getting steeper and steeper, and life is just sliding backwards, our reality, our progress, even our minds. What’s alarming is not just the reoccurring tragedies of mass shootings in the United States, the threat of fascism, violence, assaults against progressive rights and the environment but the impact […]

I used to think my mother’s story was time and culture specific, and most certainly in relation to America, a unique experience. But I was wrong. I’m beginning to understand not only how much a part her society played in her trauma, but how widespread the practice of sacrificing children for an agenda is in […]
“Paha Sapa” is the name of a sacred mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It means Six Grandfathers, earth, sky and the four directions in Sioux. Desecration Tonight, my heart is breaking as I think of the desecration of the Black Hills, of the sacred mountain, Paha Sapa; of tonight’s invasion of people […]
[updated 7/01/20] What do I mean when I say, the healing journey? A journey takes us from “here” to “there”. On a healing journey, “there”, is a state of being, arising from growth and change that allows us to live our lives as authentically and consciously as possible. Now, what that looks like and how […]

Who benefits from you believing that to be realistic is to be negative, that holding a dream is a fantasy and giving up on it is reality? Those who would have you believe this are not your friends, they are not anyone you can trust… or listen to. “People in power, and those who support […]
When did being realistic become synonymous with being cynical or fatalistic. Who says having a negative, hopeless, “why try?” view on life is being realistic? To deny the potential of humanity for good isn’t realistic at all. It’s fatalistic, and I’m not about that. It’s time to let that nightmare of a fantasy go. “Is […]
