A few of my short stories are linked here

The brief story of our lives in the Pacific NW sharing homes with people there and living on a 5 acre farm in Snohomish WA, among other places. Our adventures, unlike your commonplace lives living alone or with family. Read All about it here:

(part 2)

Empty Spaces, or “ She Left Me For Santa Fe”
A short about a lesson I am learning (too late) that I am not a large enough woman to be any man’s bandage. This is a true story about a man I met that really socked that story home.
Empty Spaces


I am Leaving you Jake, Goodbye.
A three part never ending story about my relationship with a congenial, albeit covert passive aggressive man who seems to be unable to live without a woman, but who acts like he can’t get enough freedom. Won’t commit, and is as flakey a man as there is.
Once a raging romance…read about that here.(Parts 1,2, and 3.)

The Undressing..Oh I get a lot of hits on this one, sorry, it’s more tame than you’d like (men). Women, you’d like this story! But there is another story of the undressing, it is far, too passionate to post here, however. Well, someone might twist my arm….
The Undressing

Look's Like Nature To Me, now this tame sounding one, might be a little sensual…

Kisses Into White, just a paragraph or so, sensual.
Kisses Into white

Sunday A Life Begins, a story of reflection, and somewhat spiritual, I‘d say. Beautiful, if I do say so myself.

My Old Work:








































My new work but not much of it:






























Guess I am just another lost soul:

NEON..To find a surprise gift in your mail box, to give that to a nurturer that needs nurturing.

If you are interested in a PDF to print out NEON cards to send with your gifts, E-mail me from here and I will send the PDF.
Nurturing Each Other Now, a movement started in 1985 to nurture women who are the nurturers.

Send a surprise package to any woman who need nurturing, and then she will send something perhaps to a woman she knows.

In this way we continue to nourish each other.

Include some card explaining NEON.... mine will do if you want to use them.

The pottery of Tashimaya, Japanese Antiques, more...

Born in China in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), tenmoku has captivated viewers for centuries with its shimmering, otherworldly quality. In Japan, a small handful of contemporary Japanese potters have heeded the call and devote their lives to keeping this ancient technique alive.


The works of one tenmoku artist, Koji Kamada, shine particularly bright among them

Mr. Takashimaya Master potter, using tenmoku glaze. In Japan, you can see what pottery sells for by one who has made a lifetime of working with other great potters. Here in Japan, pottery work is honored.
When I was in Nagaoka, many years ago, small rice bows were selling at a gallery at a local department store, for 6,000.00 dollars. Most everythng including huge ginger jars almost as large as me, were sold. Not that size is everything. People equate size with price, but that is not always the case.
Look at diamonds.
Take a look around this extensive site of Japanese pottery and other items. Great for the soul that loves beauty.
This is an Ikebana flower arrangement bamboo basket.This is in the shape of a gently cradled double gourd with pieces of twisted wisteria branches which have fantastic natural knods.

Purpose of the Soul

My newest batch of chinese herbs

An online herb Store Not what I am using, but interesting stuff here.
Drink once in evening , once in morning after meals, for 4 days, come back in a week to have pulse taken , look at tongue... get more herbs...it appears now that I will have to take the herbs longer than originally thought, since this problem has been going on a long time. The trauma goes very deep, and there has ben so much upheavel and so little support, the chinese MD said, that I need help to get well. Between love from friends, and my herbs, and new found family in France, I am sure I will recover soon. Pamela is making a bracelet for me. when I get it, I will blog it. A gift made with love, and healing in mind.


Cook: boil, simmer 1 hour, strain, drink, yum yum..(not really but not so bad)

Score! Nice gifts from dear friends...

I just came home with a box full of goodies, from Kimmie's. She found these at one of her special places she frequents, and graciously decided to give them to me. I was over Superbowl Sunday ( dare we speak of that day?) it was also a birthday celebration for several people, me included, ( I am now , hmm, 26)..and we had a great time visiting everyone...



Kim's is always the best place to go, warm, loving, beautifully decorated, homey, and lots of the best food compliments her Mom, Mother, Diane. ( I went over yesterday, and took back empty containers from left overs, and viola, I came back home with, FULL containers of leftovers, (I call them elegant aftermaths when they come from Diane's kitchen!) I helped her concoct a new recipe (I stirred, and brought some home..I am soooo talented!) It was mac n' alfredo sauce, with pesto and artichoke hearts, YumE!
Love you Diane. Thanks for a wonderful, Ful Filling, visit!

Kim's fantastic blog
So check out these freebee dishes I got gifted me, and check out Kim's fantastic blog.
Love you Kimmee.

Chinese herbs second round

After my four days of taking my herbs, I was just crushed. There was no improvement. went back to Dr. who took my pulse, and said it was the same.
They decided it was not a strong enough dosage, and that since I had been this way for so long ( unable to sleep, relax, be rested) that it might take a little longer, happiness is assured they said.
They don't want me to take western medicine, but melatonin is ok, they said, it is natural.

So they changed my herbs some, said to use 3 cups of water, boil , simmer for 1 hour, and drink 1 cup ( shoud be one cup after 1 hour) The add 2 cups water, boil, simmer 30 minutes, save the one cup for after breakfast,. Ths morning I had a glimmer of love feeling.

Ordered 3 books about passive aggressive men last night. Long overdue.
