Finding inspiration on my journey
Making Memories and Finding Inspiration Inspiration comes like an epiphany. Oh there you are, how did I not see you? So when and where did it show up for me in 2018? Sitting in Barclay Center in Brooklyn with my sister, niece and daughter listening to Michelle Obama talk about hope and strength. Walking and […]
Earth Connections
No sneakers, no shoes, no socks just bare feet on the ground. That is how the little boy explored the world. A breeze came from the south, the direction the little boy was facing. He giggled and blinked his eyes as the wind hit his face. He pointed up, and said “look!” It was more […]
Trillium and Healing
What a glorious morning it is on Hammond Hill at Camp Earth Connection. This morning I went for a run, well actually a very slow enjoyable jog, and allowed my eyes soak up the Trillium (a native perennial to our region) which is scattered throughout forest.

Why Women?
Why Women? At times I have wondered how it is I ended up focusing so much on women’s programs at Camp Earth Connection. I value men and adore my 4 sons & 2grandsons (plus one on the way.) Myself, I feel pretty “gender neutral” and grew up loving and envying stereotypical “boy” activities and privileges. […]
Into the Cold
