My sister texted me an audio clip of my brother “interviewing” my father after the funeral. There evidently was a clip used at the service, but it couldn’t have been this one. I only say that because of the contents of this particular clip. My father only spent the first couple of minutes talking about… Continue reading A 7-Minute Clip

My father’s service has been set
I found out a couple of weeks ago that my father’s service had been set for July 25. I had decided not to make any decision about going until I found out when and where it was, along with how I was feeling about attending. A funny thing happened on the path to making a… Continue reading My father’s service has been set
I thought I’d Gotten Rid of This
For a lot of years, I was concerned what other people thought of me. It lasted way too long. When I turned 50 (ok no comments!), I suddenly didn’t care what others thought of me. I don’t know how that happened, but it is as if a sudden revelation happened. Overnight it seemed like I… Continue reading I thought I’d Gotten Rid of This
The Aftermath of My Father’s Death
My father has been dead for a little over a month now and things have drastically changed for me. It truly has been a blessing in disguise. While I am tempted to say it’s one of the best things to have happened to me, I feel like that’s a “bad” thing to feel and say… Continue reading The Aftermath of My Father’s Death
A Blessing in Disguise
As I mentioned before, my father died on March 22, Saturday. When I got the call from older sister, I’d already known from my oldest sister’s posts that my father had died. I will explain my use of my father versus my dad, A dad feels more intimate than a father, which is why I… Continue reading A Blessing in Disguise
The Dutiful Daughter
I had started writing a different blog about my father and was going to write about part of this idea of being the dutiful daughter when I had a session with my massage therapist/holistic life coach. Now I’d been seeing her for about 8-10 years. The only reason I can estimate that is she once… Continue reading The Dutiful Daughter
More On My Relationships with Animals
When I was in my early to mid-twenties, I worked with animals. One of my duties was to take care of a colony of breeding dogs. There were probably 5 or 6 pairs of breeding animals along with pregnant mothers, who were in separate cages. When I initially began to take care of the animals,… Continue reading More On My Relationships with Animals
Depression
I have suffered from clinical depression for most of my life, though for a long time I didn’t know it. I’m not sure when this happened, since I have no concept of time, but there was a time when I was diagnosed with depression. Now, my depression lasts for weeks or months. I do take… Continue reading Depression
The Castle
As I said previously, I thought the door I saw in my vision, was an old door. It had a rounded top at the top of the door. After a while, I realized that the door was a castle door. The image of myself was being small standing in front of this door. Small as… Continue reading The Castle
The Last Door
I don’t remember how this came up during a life coaching session with my massage therapist, but I brought up the feeling and idea of the Last Door. There has been much resistance and feeling like there was something else coming up. And it has been that way for a while. All I knew was… Continue reading The Last Door
