How can you not have a groovy day when you start it by sipping coffee from this Flower-Power, Love and Peace-ful cup? It came straight from the Museum of Bethel Woods in Woodstock, New York, to me, via my sweet friend Mary Kay, and sends me straight back to my bedroom in the '60's when…

"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." ~ Albert Schweitzer My friend Jillsy sent this to me last week – my prize for contributing the most…

Tiny almond-shaped eyes – chocolate drops full of innocence, ignorant of the violence that brought us all together – peered at me over her mother's shoulder. She wore a yellow romper and sky blue bonnet, such a contrast to the black and white donned by the rest of us who formed a circle of love…

This morning I planted prayer requests in my virtual world; within moments, sweet thoughts and assurance of prayer blossomed before my eyes. I believe prayer is powerful, and I believe the prayer and good wishes that joined my own today get a lot of the credit for my sister's surgery being so successful. Full recovery…
