2 best books this month
October 25, 2013
Two of the best books I've read this month are:
Jewelry Box by Aurelie Sheehan (I have to admit she's my daughter but the book shows much artistry.
The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert, a big fast-moving book about a 19th c. woman botanist. Excellent characters, theme, places. It's totally absorbing.

The picture before reading
October 3, 2013
Bozeman's Country Bookshelf is so beautiful. I was lucky to have many friends and former workshop participants attend. I also got to wear my new purple pants and had my hair fixed up by Trevor at Theory salon. Then I went to Macy's and had Gretchen do a light makeup. Then I was struck by inspiration and asked my neighbor, Alexis Pike, who teaches photography at MSU, to take a photo of me with my short hair. She obliged and brought over a light reflector and in 10 minutes turned out the best pix of me yet. Thanks, Alexis. Read More

Progoff's Intensive Journal Method
July 26, 2013
7.26.13
My take on the Intensive Journal Method
The structure and theory behind it were developed by therapist, Ira Progoff, in the late 1960s as a non-judgmental, psychological, and spiritual tool that people could use on their own. Far more dynamic than ordinary diary-keeping, the Journal method is “one of the unique inventions of our time,” Joseph Campbell said.
I agree. It works, and I wish everyone would benefit from it as I have for the past four decades. Read More
