Dear Goddess, I just finished reading the book,  Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom For Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. The author, Gary Kowalski, is a Unitarian Universalist minister. The two dogs on the cover of the book look just like Ulysses. Gary wrote the book as a way to help him face the inevitable: the death of of his old dogs. Gary will be my radio show,  "Kate Loving and the Collective Wisdom" tonight. That's  synchronistic: the reason I wrote Prayer Prescriptions  was because I … [Read more...]

Jill

Dear Goddess, After reading "My Stroke of Insight," by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D., and watching Oprah interview Jane on the Oprah Soul Series, I began to think of my mother's stroke on June 19, 1987. I just completed an intense dyadic four month period completing phase one of my Nurse Practitioner training. Now phase two would begin in a week, and I was relaxing with my parents after not having a chance to visit with them for several months. Something was wrong with my mother. All she … [Read more...]

BHFSRC

Dear Goddess, Where I work and I imagine where all nurses work, and any other place I have ever worked, it's like tip toeing through a land mine where people's emotions erupt and detonate at strange and unpredictable times. Women aren't easy to work with and women who lack introspection are even worse. I've been thinking about this! It seems that each department of the hospital has their pet obsession. One unit of the hospital is obsessed with bladder emptying. In another, the nurses … [Read more...]

Dear Goddess, Today I want to write about my father's watch, pictured here. I have been wearing it. I find that it has a mesmerizing quality. I am not sure whether tuning into a watch slows or quickens the concept of time.Time is, after all, only a concept. It is exactly what you make it, no more, no less. I suppose you could say that about everything, but time lends itself to a perceptual model for everything that happens to you in this lifetime. First of all, there is your time,  my time, … [Read more...]

Dear Goddess, Today marks the end of a very successful week of my Prayer Prescriptions virtual book tour. Now I have to figure out a launch date, and propel it to best selling status. I'll figure out how to do that this weekend. I have to write a May Day speech this weekend, too. The speech is about single-payer healthcare delivery. I just heard that Connecticut abolished the death penalty and legalized medical marijuana. Perhaps they will be the next state to enact single-payer healthcare … [Read more...]

PuppyPearl

Dear Goddess, Tomorrow night on my radio show Samantha West will be telling us about dreams. Hers have mostly been waking dreams. But she can crack those hard to fathom sleeping dreams as well. Samantha told me that when a person needs healing, she is able to conjure up colorful images and archetypal, heroic solutions to those frustrating life challenges that deal with illness or  dis-ease. Her dog Gandalf is her healing partner. We need to take a video of the two of them at work, with … [Read more...]

RiverSring4

Dear Goddess, The beauty of Spring is all around us today. I took a few pictures of the beautiful green, and I will put these up on today's post. Pearl was gallivanting along the rivers edge, looking exactly like the puppy that she is. New beginnings are everywhere around us. Just when you think  everything has settled down, another opportunity arises. That's what happened to me today. I made my mind up about one thing, and the next moment I was offered something I could not resist. Why … [Read more...]

PearlPinkHarness

Dear Goddess, I got Pearl a nifty pink harness today, and we took a 3 mile walk in the park.  I woke her up to take the picture that is on the blog today. She looks a little sleepy, for sure. We went to the pet store to buy the pink harness, and there was a scale there and we weighed her. She is 41 pounds. How is this possible? She looks exactly the same as she did the day we got her from Tennessee. There's only one difference. It is almost  impossible to lift her up. She is longer and … [Read more...]

PearlSleeping

Dear Goddess, I just took Pearl for a very long walk in the park, our longest walk ever. At first she was hesitant, and shied away from a man who was walking towards us on the path. Pearl is  now pretty good about being off lead around the property, but she gets a wild look in her Eye and runs away if we take her off lead anywhere else. We even saw a bald eagle in the park. After that event, Pearl just trotted along looking like she was in sync with the universe. Pearl is pictured here … [Read more...]

Rock

Dear Goddess, After writing yesterday's prayer, a book I contributed to was published on Kindle. I knew that the book was due to be published, but I wasn't exactly sure when. Yesterday was the day! And no one was more surprised than me. I'm just not used to this published author stuff. My brother is a writer and so is my husband. I used to think years ago that they were the writers in the family. Being a writer need not be special, and does not make anyone better than anyone else. The most … [Read more...]
