Dancing in the Sacred Grove
by Krista | Jan 29, 2012 | Bootstrap Monday
It's been a rough few days. Feeling stronger and braver last week I tentatively opened a door to my past and unwittingly let in a few malicious ghosts. Instead of sending them scurrying with some well aimed truth, I let them linger and cause non-stop mayhem. My hard...
Musings on a Stormy Day in Australia
by Krista | Jan 26, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
I love stormy days in Australia. Rain pattering loudly on my tin roof. Winds rushing through the gum trees. Standing still under the canopy of branches, listening to the patter of water droplets as they fall from sky to leaf to forest floor. It's so good to be home....

Across the Cafe Table: Dreaming of Spain
