    Winter White will never be “frozen”.   Winter White is always flowing…going…and growing…  The only thing “frozen” in her world is the lake where children skate or the crunchy ice crystals of snow on the ground.  She is eternal and free-flowing…gentle and kind and loves to play… She lives where the winter night’s are magical and even if the fierce North Wind blows…no storms invade the peace of gently falling snow flakes. She watches over the children whether in the “light of day” or the “cold of night”. She watches them even as they warm by the fireplace hearth. She always arrives on December 21st every year to spend the winter months with children who are so dear to her… Whether it is ice skating on the lake, sledding, or building many different Snowmen or Snow women all winter month’s long… fun and simple play is the order of the day with Winter White. Are you ready to enjoy winter? She would like to share her “Winter Play” with you…so here we go into the snow… A Winter Night with Winter White in a Small Town Act 1 Lakes are frozen.  Snow lies stacked on evergreen tree branches.  Fireplaces are … Continue reading →

Is it possible for dolphins to be messengers?  My answer to this question is “yes”. Over many years, I have been blessed to receive writings that have deep meaning for me and hopefully others as well. “The Dolphin’s Glow” came to me in the year 1986 while traveling in the Chiropractic field all over the United States.  I had flown to Minneapolis, Mn. with a doctor that I assisted with seminars.  I arrived on Friday evening to get the seminar set-up in advance.  I had dinner with Dr. Benson after we were finished setting up.  I had an unusual headache so I went to my room and fell asleep.  The next morning I thought I had not slept well because of the headache so I expressed that to Dr. Benson.  He said well then you heard the horrible storm…lightening and thunder?  I was very surprised and said I had not heard anything.  He told me I had to be sleeping very soundly or I definitely would have heard the storm.   I was puzzled.  We proceeded to the seminar and I took my usual place in the back of the room with water, pens, and paper where I coached him as … Continue reading →

  Greetings… I was considering the tragedy in Charleston, South Carolina this past week.  I was also considering other tragedies in previous years…useless violence towards so many…in the Twin Towers, in schools, in churches, in other countries all over the world. People, children, and animals being violated in most horrific and even deadly ways.  Man’s “inhumanity against man”. It made me remember a wonderful story I heard many years ago in 2002 entitled  “They’re Singing Your Song”. I want to quote the story below because shortly after reading this story, I began to develop an unusual creativity when I would meet children or some adults that I felt a connection to.   It was then that a story began for me to add to this unusual account of what I call “Heart Songs”. I would hear the music and lyrics to the heart song of a person.   The first time I experienced this was with a small young boy in a preschool I was visiting while reading my children’s book, “Taryn Toad Tosses Pebbles”.   He had disabilities but one thing he loved was music. He would always carry a small guitar to school with him even though he didn’t know exactly how to play it.  When I … Continue reading →

In the Circle of the Seasons, Summer Blue is the season that teaches children about tending the seeds that have been planted after they have begun to grow. It teaches the children to nurture their garden by watering and caring for the garden daily. Children are like gardens that need the right seeds planted when they are young (Sweet Spring), and then nurtured while they are maturing (Summer Blue) so that the result is a harvest of a whole and complete young person (Autumn Gold).  Then our beautiful Winter White comes to give everyone in the garden of life a rest. The focus of Summer Blue is  feeling…feeling the warmth of nurturing and care…feeling the warmth of the gentle sun. Summer Blue’s Song Summer smiles…all the while, and days stretch into years. Warm sun…shines and touches all and she holds back the days of fall. Rivers run…in slow…time, catching the whipper will’s call. Come to the edge of river’s ledge or sit beside my waterfall. Soft summer breezes…gentle sneezes beckoning one and all. Just listen at night…to the nightingale’s call…just listen to the nightingale’s call. Second Verse And all about…as dusk comes out among the starlit skies…trees are lit with little stars… … Continue reading →
