I began writing essays online around 2001. I posted them on my website and often on The Non-Duality Salon founded by Jerry Katz. Jerry was most helpful to me in that I got my work exposed to a wider audience than my website. (Blogs were just on the horizon.)

This was the era of everyone claiming to be enlightened. They also claimed to “not have a story.” In other words, they wanted you to know how enlightened they were. So here I come, dragging my miserable story of losing a mate to a fatal cancer.

I was just finding my groove, and it was a deep chasm of brokenness. Some readers recognized the truth in what I wrote, but others found that I made them weep and non-dualists had supposedly transcended that.

My teacher was Vernon Howard and he frowned on any kind of negative emotion. But during those years of grief, I could not do the work that he taught. It was all I could do to hold my head above water.

Where am I today? Right smack in the middle of the mess. We human beings remain human while in our earth-suits. Let no one tell you otherwise.

These days find me living a normal life. I have left the intellectual part of the path behind. Now I am able to rest in silence much of the time. I still have emotions; don’t get me wrong. But I have learned not to suffer unnecessarily.

My blog is a place where I write my notes about all kinds of stuff. I left the website I started for my husband and now I am just on WordPress like everyone else.

I have finished doing business with amazon and am offering my writing in ebooks instead. I got tired of amazon taking all the profits from what I have worked hard to create. Many other authors are doing this as well.

So feel free to visit my ebooks page and pick out one you like. You can use PayPal and I will send you the ebook ASAP.
