Magic in the Making!

Alisha — Fri, 24 Jun 2016 06:28:50 +0000

Summer is fully here now. I have spent the last two weeks taking the time to soak up my children while they are on break before their camp season begins. We’ve made ice pops (here’s the recipe book), gone swimming at my mom’s house, been to a Yankee’s baseball game, watched this movie (Pele), and […]

Threshold . . .

The Storytellers Threshold Here you find… The opened and closed The hello’s and goodbyes The endings and the beginning’s And always what lies on the other side. It takes braveness to turn the handle always causing ripples of change Once the door has been open no matter what, things can never be the same. […]

Silent landing.

Alisha — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 01:15:00 +0000

The spring took hold of my heart hard and then tossed it onto summer without warning. I could feel it in mid air all summer long whooshing through the days, and moments hoping for a soft landing that never did arrive. As I understand more and unfurl more, I believe I will be landing soon. […]

Soul Gardening

Alisha — Tue, 19 May 2015 04:00:17 +0000

Instead of planting seeds in the ground she plants them in her heart. Instead of weeding out the flowerbeds she weeds out thoughts of others from her head. She untangles, clips back and removes vines of doubt and mistrust. She composts anger into love. She works hard to make a graceful garden of her […]

I sat that drama queen down with a cup of breathe

Alisha — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:00:40 +0000

Yesterday, I gave myself some time to reflect on all that I have been doing. I was able to open the windows and listen to one of the flocks of starlings that came by for a respite in our wonderful oak tree. The starlings have been coming in for a week or so now. I […]

And she gave me a gift of broken bones

Alisha — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 19:17:10 +0000

This past week my daughter broke her arm. We all handled it like troopers. My husband was away on a business trip – isn’t that how it always is? – so I had to handle the situation on my own. There are times when all that negative self talk in my head gets to me. I […]

Heart stories . . .

Alisha — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 11:00:00 +0000

My heart is telling me stories today. I am listening closely. I sit in a nice patch of sun on my porch wrapped in a woolly blanket as I write this. I have a warm cup of tea beside me and a kitty companion under the chair close by. I hear the chirping of the […]

I suppose. . .

Alisha — Sun, 30 Mar 2014 16:17:13 +0000

I feel like I am bumping along a rocky road Inspiration coming slow In dribs and drabs In tiny burstsI In seconds lost But not besmirched I’m rolling in the in between, The uncomfortable but not unseen I’m here! I’m here! Feeling lots and moving slow But showing up, truth be told Don’t count […]
