What Will We Create?

January 5, 2019 By Joy Resor

I've been divorced for a decade. Since then, I've been given relationships with dear men - Ben, Bob, Ron - who love me, adventure with me and teach me about presence, nature and more.  We travel and stay in to watch Netflix.  We eat out and cook favorites.  We shell walnuts and hike trails. Last year upon returning from a healing, … [Read more...]

More Together Than Alone

January 4, 2019 By Joy Resor

Mark Nepo's book, More Together Than Alone, is amazing to me.  This book is heart-wrenching, tear-producing and heart-opening, all at the same time. The language is as beautiful as Mark always writes, while the subject can be intensely brutal, chaotic and painful to look at. And yet...I am SO VERY GRATEFUL.

We Choose How to Live

July 7, 2018 By Joy Resor

Hatred spews into Airwaves, Entering homes, Landing on ears And in hearts, Rattling emotions Into fury, worry, grief. Fathers kick dogs, Throw plates, Seek solace In liquid spirits Or tuck inside themselves. Others evade negative stories, Released media-saturation long ago, Sit in silence. In these … [Read more...]

Slip-on a Second Chance!

October 11, 2017 By Joy Resor

When lilac displayed blossoms behind our house in the Spring, life was too busy for me to breathe much into her beauty.  Realizing when she was through that I'd missed my chance, I imagined that I'd wait a year, and be more diligent and present to our young lilac bush in 2018. Lo and behold....we have had such a summer-like fall for the most … [Read more...]
