Here … and Nowhere

I’ve got that feeling again. And I’ve had to check myself and remind myself, again and again, that I am not my thoughts. I am not my thoughts. I’ve been sinking deeper and deeper into myself. Deeper into the place where I believe I truly live. I used to go there regularly and at will….

Whispers

One of the most frustrating things about writing is writing. The question of what to write and where to start. I know. Start at the beginning. And where, pray tell, is that? Where? My thoughts all seem coherent until the very moment I face a blank page. Suddenly I have no understanding of what’s going…

Head Trip

Right now all I want is to get out of my own head. I want the voices to be silent…or at the very least, tone it down, a bit.I moved to Los Angeles 13 years ago today. I have no idea where the years have gone. Looking back, it was a move made in desperation that has…

My Self…Forever

I make no apologies for being a fan of Super Soul Sundays.During the course of today’s Oprahfest I heard three stories that…

The Choice Is Mine

I was talking with a friend recently and she remarked that she was amazed by how much my life has changed. She said I am stronger and happier. I didn’t know what to say. To me, hardly a thing has changed. Sure, I moved to Los Angeles from the east coast but, that’s about it. I have the same career…

Would Holly Go Lightly?

Years ago a friend spoke of finding and living her truth. Theoretically speaking, I got what she was saying but I wasn’t quite there yet. There is a certain satisfaction when our philosophy of life is in sync with how we live life. This is when everything is clear and nothing is in doubt. The…
