LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 50 (March 3, 2007) When everything is going well, as it usually does for me nowadays, it’s hard to believe that I could ever become depressed again. Yet, it can happen, and does happen. And here I am, depressed again. Signs began appearing a couple weeks ago. I was easily moved to […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 49 (February 27, 2007) Although I’m not hypomanic, I have gotten myself into an awful lot of projects and work lately. I wonder why I always do that? Even when my mood is normal I like to take on a lot of stuff. Last week I suggested a fundraiser cookbook for my […]

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 43 (February 9, 2007) At Living Room today we had some interesting discussion.

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 42 (January 30, 2007) Over the past several days I’ve had my nose to the proverbial grindstone, editing my book. The end of this big project is in sight, though there is still much work to do before it’s where I want it to be. This is SO exciting. I’m amazed at […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 41 (January 27, 2007) At our Living Room group yesterday I introduced the journey we would take. Discovering what we’re here for. Our purpose.
