Does it ever seem to you that certain kinds of things keep repeating in your life? It does to me. It perhaps explains why the biggest trauma in my life occurred so early – it wasn’t a good thing, but I learned a lot and have been able to help others navigate similar treacherous waters. [...]

Blizzard silences “Voice of Lakota Nation”, online at least
Posted in General, Lakota, Lakota friends, Life, Miracles, Native American on November 9, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I have been trying unsuccessfully to reach my Lakota friends who live near Allen, SD on the Pine Ridge Reservation ever since the blizzard hit western South Dakota on Wednesday. All I have been able to get is the rapid “circuits busy” signal. I know from a few other sources (Rapid City Journal online, Friends [...]
Going to church when you don’t “feel like it”
Posted in Christian, Church, Day to day, Family, General, Life, Miracles on July 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I have often gone to church, on Sundays or holy days or holidays, even though I didn’t “feel like it.” I did it again today, although the reason was very different.
When I was young I went to church if I didn’t “feel like it” because I was raised Roman Catholic. You went to church when [...]
Christmas arrived in Rapid City – and my heart
Posted in Day to day, Fibromyalgia, General, Lakota, Lakota friends, Life, Miracles, Spiritual on December 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
While I’ve been trying to “lay low” and fend off any more fibromyalgia flare-ups – not particularly successfully – Christmas has been making it’s way slowly across the nation from Massachusetts to Rapid City, SD. The storms across the nation have not been making it easy for Christmas to travel over 2000 miles – ice, [...]

I just had a call from my friend in South Dakota. She was in a terrible state, crying and distraught. I knew I wasn’t going to like what I heard.
In case you haven’t read all my posts, let me bring you up to speed on my friend. She and her family are Lakota. She wants [...]
Too many disasters at one time
Posted in Day to day, General, Life, Miracles, Spiritual on August 17, 2007 | 1 Comment »
There are too many disasters happening for my heart to handle.
Whenever I hear about some kind of disaster on the news, whether natural or man-made, my heart goes out to those touched by it. To those injured physically or emotionally, to those providing aid and support, to the families that will never be the same. [...]
Dreams and God

The other day I asked our interim rector if he believed that God still spoke to people in dreams, the way the Bible shows that He did in ancient times. He said, “Well, sure.” To be honest, it was more of a test than a question. I knew the answer – at least the truth [...]
Long distance friends & the spiritual life
Posted in Day to day, General, Lakota friends, Life, Miracles, Spiritual on July 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I was thinking about friends because of my concern for my Lakota friends in South Dakota. I realized that all of my really close friends are really far away. Not through my doing.
As far back as I can remember, my good friends have moved away. One of my best girlfriends in grammar school. Don’t remember [...]
Hmmm – Part 2

Will wonders never cease?!! You remember that I was leaving to make salad for dinner after bemoaning the fact that I didn’t know how to get in touch with my Lakota friends in South Dakota? Well, I was true to my word – got out all the veggies and started peeling and chopping. And the [...]
Out of the fog

It was a miracle – a BIG miracle. At least that’s the only way I can describe it. I’ll tell you about it and you can decide for yourself.
I had gone out to a retreat center about 3 hours from home. I had been there a number of times before and knew the road pretty [...]
