Bringing Our Secrets into the Light We all have our secrets: thoughts, memories, feelings that we keep to ourselves.

Women's Retreat 2007
Got back from the women’s retreat. We drove out in a bit of a storm but I think we got to our destination well before the worst of it. The lodge has a huge gas fireplace and we sat in front of it while outside we could see snow swirling around in the lights. It [...]

Wild Dreams
Once Leo and I were lying in bed late on a Saturday morning. He asked me if I would like him to make my wildest dreams come true. “You mean we are going to remodel the kitchen!” I replied. Not quite what he had in mind. But here we are, only about 5 years later [...]
