Dog & Dolphin

Dog & dolphin are good friends! I wonder how this got started?



Music is My Muse

One of the things I LOVE about writing Gaia Girls is, learning new things. I’ve learned alot about “Spanish” music while writing Gaia Girls Air Apparent. I always have music playing while I write. Today I thought I would share with you a master of flamenco: Paco de Lucia. In this video he plays two [...]



Death Machine Supports Life

WOW! I love both the effort and the symbolism. It is also a good example of why we need to be so careful with our oceans. Short term gain (over-fishing) not accompanied by long term understanding of biological realities, will always result in a net loss. And the loss is ours…Gaia knows how to bounce [...]



Gaia in Iraq

“In the midst of a desert, was an oasis of aquatic life that was larger than the Everglades.”
Mother Nature Network does a nice job of telling the story of Azzam Alwash, an engineer committee to restoring an area where the lushness of nature nurtured the oldest civilizations of man. Wow! This is an interesting [...]



Gaia Blurt-Harvest

In the backyard garden, the corn is teasing me with [...]



Dusk at 9am

I’ve been sitting at my desk for about an hour. First I squinted, then I flipped on the desklamp. Didn’t want to accidently spill my morning coffee across the papers,important and not, that cover my desk.
When the rain came, my office filled with a patient, steady hum. I’ve listened to rain from my desk [...]



Rub It In!

I’m so glad the “Story of Stuff” folks have tackled this topic! This past year I’ve been rethinking everything I and my family put in our hair, in our mouths and on our skin. I’ve become a big fan of coconut and jojoba oil. Although, I have yet to find a conditioner that helps my [...]



Music is my Muse

I almost always listen to music while I write. I found this today and just loved it! Doesn’t he seem like the coolest chorus teacher, ever!?!
Do you sing?
Do you listen to music?
What music makes you feel really good about yourself and the world?



The Bravest Woman I Know

In the Gaia Girls books, Gaia often says, “Be brave.”
Julia Butterfly Hill is the bravest woman I know. She tells it like it is. I think it is interesting how listening to this level of truth-telling makes even a greenie like me squirm. One-by-one, we will need to move away from our disposablility consciousness. Can [...]



BIG Thumbs Up 4 Mystery Movie Maker

Today I discovered a young fan made a movie trailer for Gaia Girls Enter the Earth! WOW! Nicely done. Now if we could get a producer in Hollywood to check it out!
