A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Wednesday, July 8, 2015. We Should All Be Sparked By Baby Ember. For those of you who are not local, or who are and may not have heard, a six month-old baby, Ember Graham, was reported as missing on July 2, 2015 from her father’s home in the Happy Valley area in Shasta County. Yesterday, July 7. What did the mom know? Press release, the Sheriff’s Office reveals several things about the case that I find alarming, both in their physical pres...

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Monday, August 17, 2015. Keep In a Cool Dry Place. Two weekends ago, I spent another few days on the coast, comprising the Guitar Shorty concert, encountering the tour bus the night before the show, time in the ocean, a new tattoo, Tsunami Nacho food, new friends, old friends, and some of the best sleep I ever get—nestled in the Redwoods, and within the smell of the ocean. As I stood in the cooler somewhere in Lake County, I was overwrought with...

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Give Until You Get It. Sometimes, I get a bit overwhelmed in life by the things I can't seem to control. It was part of the downfall for me in my last marriage. Since then, I've worked hard to separate those things I can do nothing about from those things over which I do have dominion. And I've been pretty successful at separating that kind of wheat from its chaff. Today, for the most part, I felt less successful at it.

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Monday, December 27, 2010. The Party's Over. 'Cuz the Lights are Going Out. No more incandescent light bulbs? As if that’s not bad enough, I heard this from Doug La Malfa’s Facebook page. This cave I’ve been living in really is insulated from the outside world. For those three or four of you who might be as sheltered and clueless as I apparently am, here’s the deal:. Friday, December 10, 2010. What Would Jesus Buy? Instead of buying me a sweater...

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Tuesday, June 3, 2014. The Passing of a Piece of the Past. The summer I was 15, the only thing I really needed was “normal”. In the twelve months prior, I had lost my mother to her own vices. I was put in foster care because of my dad’s drug problem and violent tendencies. So, by the time I was living with my aunt and cousin, I was pretty far from living a regular adolescent life. I bet you want that tape…”. He came off as a slow country boy a l...

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Labels at the Farmer's Market. Who Knew? We spent half an hour chatting about what each of us has been up to in the past year. We’ve both started businesses, we both found long lost relatives, we’ve both lost family members close to us. We’ve both traveled, and breathed and cried and loved and lived. We are human. It’s what we do. 8220;Why is it important that she is gay in the context of this conversation? 8221; I asked.

Just Passin' Through...: I am... In this Moment
http://justsusanne.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-am-in-this-moment.html
A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Saturday, July 11, 2015. I am In this Moment. As part of my personal growth in life these days, I am learning the art of approaching life intentionally, deliberately. The changes I want to make will only come when I am actualized in that change. There is no more "I will." only "I (do).". Today, I lived without pie for breakfast. And I am glad for that choice. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Redding, California, United States.

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Friday, June 24, 2011. The first time I physically encountered Candy Jenkins was the year my mom died. I had seen her here and there around Shingletown and in passing, as I hung out with her niece, Stacey. But shy as I was, it was never more than just a casual glance, or a mumbled hello. Also not surprising was Candy’s sense of humor. A highly-honed family trait, Candy was not often without some casual observation about life that would...We̵...

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Thursday, July 23, 2015. Help Fight Cancer the Easy Way. This is Robin Renault and her family.

And she is the face of cancer. This year, Robin is the Relay for Life coordinator in our region, and she just pulled off that very successful annual event here in Redding last month&...

A place to peruse some keen- and not so keen- observations. Wednesday, February 9, 2011. The Grinch who Bagged V-Day. Or, as a nameless friend just said, "The Bitch who Gagged V-Day". The Thing About Valentine’s Day…. I’ve received a lot of feedback about my announcement that I “canceled” Valentines Day. In a nutshell, here are the thoughts and events that led to that decision. Hallmark is a Whore. Legally. Is it “Je t’aime,” or “Je t’aime bien”? I’d rather have the whole year instead of one day. I am pr...
