And, talking of spectacular displays – my hibiscus plant loved coming indoors for the winter. It mostly only has one or two flowers at a time! The Importance of Trees This month I am again going to talk about trees. I know that you know they are dear to me.… Read more »

    The Mystery of Life Energy: Biofield Healing, Phantom Limbs, Group Energetics, and Gaia Consciousness by Eric Leskowitz | April 9, 2024 The Mystery of Life Energy by Eric (Rick) Leskowitz, M.D., is a comprehensive exploration of energy medicine.

  • Small Habits

    2024/05/11

    Small Habits, Big Results Another interesting idea came to me from an advertisement for M.K. Arman’s book “Small Habits, Big Results: The Power of Consistency and Persistence.” The ad read: Reading 20 pages a day equals 30 books a year. Walking ten thousand steps a day equals 20 marathons a year. Never underestimate the power of small habits. I have not read the book, but it sounds promising. However, I would add “meditating” to the list, as meditating for 20… Read more »

    Ile D’Or by Mary Lou Dickenson | Inanna Poetry and Fiction Series (November 1, 2012) I met Mary Lou Dickinson by chance when I arranged to see her newly renovated kitchen and bathroom because I was considering using the same contractor. We discovered we were both authors and decided to exchange books. Mary Lou gave me Ile D’Or, and I gave her Joey and His Friend Water. I thoroughly enjoyed Ile D’Or. It made me think of returning to my… Read more »

    The Signature of all things – plants

    2023/09/15

    The Signature of all things is all about plants From Gilbert’s website, the tag line for the book is: “A glorious, sweeping novel of desire, ambition, and the thirst for knowledge.” Sounds about right. The book spans the fictional life of Alma Whittaker. Alma was born in the 1800’s to one of the wealthiest families in Philadelphia. Growing up surrounded by her family’s expansive estate, Alma becomes fascinated with botany. This is not surprising as her father, Henry Whittaker, made… Read more »
