Stand By Me

July 1, 2011

Stand By Me. Stand By Me is the piece I wrote last year at the end of Amma’s program in New York. Tonight I have this year’s three days with Amma in New York ahead of me, and I am looking forward to every moment of those three days. For many years when he was [...]

Enough Of The Holidays Already

December 28, 2010

When Christmas day suddenly loomed on the horizon, I was pleased that it had happened upon me so quickly. It had sprung out of nowhere it seemed, and was rushing into being at break-neck speed. We hardly had enough time to get the tree before midnight struck on Christmas Eve. “Phew,” I thought. “It’s done. [...]

‘Tis The Season To Be Pissed, I Mean Snowed-In Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Christmas Morning

December 25, 2010

I didn’t sleep well last night, several times I woke up. Now the day, this day is finally here. It is Christmas. The sky is overcast, the sun is not completely hidden by the clouds nor is it shining gloriously, either. I am like the sun, pulled towards clouds of sadness, and a pool of [...]

Christmas Eve

December 24, 2010

Christmas Eve. Soon it’ll be over! Yes I love the tree, I love Christmas, just not this Christmas. Or last Christmas. But we are nearly there and then a New Year… Last night I had some friends over and we played a game called The Wish. It’s a GREAT game, in fact it’s not really [...]

The Get Your Wellness On Fair Potential Second Venue

December 18, 2010

I still have still done nothing about Christmas. I feel a bit like my friend Kukunaokala (did I spell it right? Can’t you get an easier name?) on Thanksgiving, when she spent the day at the beach and went back home when everything was ready. But as I told her, here in New York, there [...]

The Second Christmas

December 16, 2010

I have to get my act together and do something about Christmas. Thing is I don’t know where to start. I thought that this being the second Christmas without Andrew it might be easier… dream on… My Darling, Darling, Darling Tigger I miss you so much Mummy

My Hula Hoop Is Coming

November 19, 2010

I was going to wait until Christmas, but two days ago I went on Amazon and ordered it myself. I’ve been wanting one ever since the Get Your Wellness On Fair in September. I’ve been wanting one ever since I watched the Elf Princess (that’s how I nicknamed her) do her thing with her Hula [...]

Hoopnotized

September 29, 2010

“The only thing I wasn’t sure about was the Hoopnotica thing,” my husband said, talking about the Fair. “But it was a real crowd-puller,” he continued. Indeed! There was no one in Alexander Holley Plaza during the Get Your Wellness On Fair, who was not hoopnotized when Hoopnotica’s Jacqui Becker, nicknamed The Elf Princess by [...]

Dear Dave

May 28, 2010

IF YOU ARE FEELING SUICIDAL OR NEED TO TALK CALL THE NATIONAL LIFELINE 1-800 273-8255 Dear Dave, I wanted to tell you that working on Bruno the manuscript, again, has brought me joy and given me something to look forward to each day.
