The only way out is THROUGH

About Me


The nitty gritty is that I'm a stay at home mother to a very spirited and amazing three year old named Sophie. I'm married to a talented (though frustrated) musician who makes his day to day living working with computers. I'm also a stepmother (every other weekend) to a very active seven year old whom my daughter idolizes!. I live in Delaware, which aesthetically does not inspire me... I long for mountains... But we are close to family which the children need in their life. I'm burnt out tending f/t to my little girl. But i've also been aware of how much of a blessing it is to have this opportunity. I know this time will fly by. And I pour all that i have into NOW. Her hug can melt away any ugliness around (or inside) me...
I enjoy creating music. Its more of a creative struggle for me than art, photography or writing. But each form has its own beauty and wonder. Im grateful to have these outlets in my life. These expressions have filled me, encouraged me, even saved me over the years. I have found myspace to be a fascinating place. I have enjoyed meeting these interesting souls. Even cultivating some cyber friendships. What talent and beauty can be found here. And like minds! Kindred spirits... I have invited and accepted those who have something that resonates with me. I try my best to represent who I am on this space...An everblooming flower. Seeking nourishment, absorbing light and warmth where I find it. Praying my colors will soothe those who have eyes to see.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Another 'free' Sunday.  Day to return to myself.  I take off my mother cape.  I awake on my own clock and there is no one around to pull on me.  I have only my needs to tend to.&nb...

My Space

Just looking at the 'friends' here and pausing for a moment of contemplation. Some of them really reflect parts of myself. Or desired ones anyway. I imagine we do show the shiny sides of ourselves her...

Birthdays, Tina Turner, and Life

Had a party for my little girl today.  She's turning 3.  It was so simple.  Two little friends, some balloons, some gifts, cake.  The basics.  No bells, no whistles, no frills...

Thoughts that have strayed

I had my thoughts together earlier today.  I had something I wanted, needed to say.  But the day got away from me.  I got plunged into the world, without a moment for myself.  So.....

Another Day Inside

Another day looking through windows.  Toddler chatter subsided.  All is quiet.  The sun throws strips of light across the floor.  Here I am: A 'stay at home mom'.  That is my ...
