I’ve been thinking a lot about the “medicine” or the gifts we hold. This meditative thought is the first of a series of recordings I’d like to do that explore different aspects of this topic.

I hope it inspires you.

I’m going to make Friday my day of sharing posts that I’ve read, videos I’ve watched and other snippets of inspiration.

• I am going to try to remember to read this one at least once a week. As a graduate student and mother of 2, constraints are my life.

• The newest plant I’m in love with and STILL trying to find.

• I love salmon patties! Here’s a recipe I intent to try soon. Maybe this weekend, since we’ll be snowed in.

• I definitely have my critiques of this company, but I really enjoyed this commercial
• Remembering the brilliance of this great poet.

Have a great weekend!

“Don’t wait for anything. Just wait for your own agreement. When you think you’re ready. Two poems. One poem. A broadside. Anything. Get it out. Because if you don’t, you’re constipating yourself. It’s true. You walk around with a whole sheaf of stuff that you’re not publishing, that’s constipation because your mind is fixed on that, and you’re not going to do much until you get that out of you. And once you–even if it’s on Kinko’s paper– do something with it, it’s out of you. That act will get it out of you and then you can go on to your next thing. But you have got to do it.” ~ Amiri Baraka
