A matter of SCALE, again!
And I thought that now science is agreeing — as we continue to learn about how stress hormones turn OFF the Body’s Healing System.
Saguaros and Stories — at the Golden Hour
Ah, we all have stories, God. And it is healing for us to tell them — to share them with folks who will laugh with us and not at us. But, Dr. Brene Brown cautions about only sharing our “Shame Stories” with people who have shown themselves worthy (trustworthy) of hearing them.

The Greening Healing Force
Those aren’t bad things. But, they are fatiguing things. This last year I have borrowed from my Body’s Bank — my Energy Reserves — in order to do what I felt needed to be done. Now it is time to repay my Body and perhaps my tired Soul. Yes, it is Time to Restore, God.
