Welcome to my BLOG
I have been writing daily since I was a little girl. Since then, much has been written. Writing is my way of making sense of the world. It’s my dance when no one is watching.
Writing without an audience taught me how to write when there is one.
Do nothing differently.
Good Morning God
It’s a new day. That starts with coffee, jazz, and lots of questions.

Living Tchotchkes
1 22 23 That’s a lot of 2’s. Makes me curious what I wrote on 2 22 22. Lucky for me, I can do that. Go back, and look. Day after day, nearly every day, there is an account; what’s happening in the world, what’s happening in my mind and the results of my own...
A Big Open Mess
1 20 23 It’s a beautiful morning, but I can’t get comfortable. I sat in my usual chair and then moved to the couch. That didn’t feel right so I moved back to the chair, but the view felt stifled, so I picked up and moved the chair. But this new spot feels...
A Bizarre Next Move
10 20 22 I think I found my place. It’s an old hardware store with lots of windows, plenty of light, plenty of mismatched tables, wide open spaces, and the band “Yes” plays quietly in the background. I can hear people talking, but it’s a dull and welcoming hum and...
Hands Down
Hands down, that was the most interesting thing you’ve said all day! Hands down, that’s the value add… Where does the saying ‘hands down’ come from? Apparently, I’m not the only one to wonder this. A quick search reveals pages of explanation all saying the same...
Sneaky Sneaky
9 30 22 There. Earplugs. Jazz in both ears. Not someone else munching on fruit and cereal. That sound makes an ax murderer out of me. Heavenly father, thank you for today. Today is the wide-open day I have been longing for, let’s hope it stays that way. Please...
Boujie Floating Living Room
9 29 22 September is over. Wow. I mean, almost. Good morning God. Thank you. For all of it. It’s a wowzer if you take time to notice. And one has to be just a wee bit sensitive to hear it, feel it…the spiritual realm that is, pressing down on you, trying to...
There’s That Island Again
9 22 22 There’s That Island Again Tomorrow we bring her in. We considered making a run for it, but like yea, on a trawler with an enormous GPS tracking system on the roof? Might as well follow the rules, go home to our stupid non floating home just long enough to...
Some Nice Olives
9 15 22 All I ever wanted to do is tell stories. Why did I make this so hard? Dear Heavenly Father, help me with this day. You are always with me, help me remember that. Keep my heart and mind focused. Why am I a jumble this morning? First thing I flooded the...
You by You, Narrated by You
9 13 22 It hits me. The only reason I am not a published author is because I never submitted anything. That’s it. I supposed this should be a relief. But what gets in the way is the shame. Which I immediately erase with the love of God. The only way to tell that...
A Fantastic Benchmark
9 9 22 Up early, feel great! Despite being convinced yesterday I caught covid again. I DID NOT go into fear. Do not fear…. Thank you very much, don’t mind if I don’t… Whatever this is, it’s fine. Today I feel totally fine. I took a Covid test: negative. ...
Nuke Negative Thinking
8 24 22 Where to begin? Have you ever had a moment where it all seems so clear? So obvious? Where it all comes together perfectly? It’s the perfect holiday dinner, the perfect vacation. Which of course neither of those exist unless one learns to allow and receive...
The Caldron, Book One
Like a Ripple
August is flying by. J gets home today. I’m excited to hear about the trip. Thank you for this morning, being up early, and feeling excited. Oh my! There it is again! I’m excited! Thank you thank you. (Feeling excited recently went away for me for about 2-3...
And Then…Lawn Beach
Can this just be our private moment? Do I have to publish all of them? NOThank you for today. Its beautiful. Once again, everything’s perfect: the coffee, the sunshine, this chair, this laptop, this jazz. What are we doing today? My mind is blank. GOOD Ha! Dear...
Living an Inspired Life: Imagination, Intuition & Inspiration
I can stand in an open field and see the house complete: the walls, the color on the walls, the dishes on the shelf, the dark wooden table in the kitchen with grey whitewashed chairs and a champagne-colored chandelier with delicate bronze eucalyptus leaves. That’s...
Lessons in Happiness
I’ve spent my life studying ‘the mechanics’ of happiness. Such has been a deep dive into spirituality, philosophy, linguistics, behavioral sciences, food & nutrition, psychology, and design. In a nutshell, we’ve made happiness—or mental and emotional health—way...
Transformation
I believe 100% that you cannot elevate your life and transform your body-mind-soul without God. I also believe that without Christ, you do not have the power of all available to you and you will repeatedly face battles in life you cannot conquer yourself. As someone...
Camera A Camera B
Here’s my takeaway: don’t waste life. Not one day. You’re here on planet earth having an epic adventure. Did we forget? What is life? An adventure? A school? Dust in the wind? Hard to say. This whole life-thing is quite a mystery. But one day it will...
6.10.22 Absolutely Perfect
22 Absolutely Perfect I was dying to wake up this morning. Isn’t that a bizarre phrase we’ve adopted? I was dying to go to the gym! Bizarre. I lay there, semi-awake in the semi- dark, with light eeeking out from behind the crevices. Bold mountain sunshine would be...
In Deep Snow and Heavy Silence
3 28 22 I’m sitting here with God in an intoxicating silence like deep deep snow. I smashed my index finger on my right hand in the car door last night while unloading my things from the trip. It was so good to be home and Hello God…thank you for the sunshine, thank...
You Can’t Step into The Same River Twice
3 25 22 I cannot get comfortable this morning. I love you God. Up at 5 ish, couldn’t fall back to sleep. Mind going hither and dither. Listen to Matthew. Gratitude gratitude gratitude Which I have. I am in a bizarre (to me) hotel. Nothing…matches. Or goes...
Rearrange & Get Creative
Recently my eyes changed, so I got new glasses. The world seems to be changing. Very blurry. Now what? Can't buy glasses for that. So I rearranged my furniture. Because you can do that. Its an old trick in the book; we call it Feng Shui. And now I love this room...
Flit flit flit
Somwhere in the San Juan Islands. The events of this past year have pushed me deeper into the arms of God. To the world it looks like I am hiding in a cave. I am in a cave but not hiding, exploring. I’ve left as much of the world behind as I can possibly manage so...
Times FIVE #1
Author and life coach Molly LaChapelle shares her thoughts on the bible and Jesus as a life-long seeker of the supernatural.
Welcome to the Truman Show
Good morning October 12, 2020 I woke with terrible back pain. Yesterday I thought it was my sciatica returning. Which would be weird because after 4 years of near constant pain, it went away overnight. Literally, about 7 months ago, the pain was just gone, never to...
I’m Nobody, You?
It. Occurs. To. Me. Emily Dickenson’s well-loved poem portrays the tension felt between the desire to be Somebody along with the relief that we are Nobody. "I'm Nobody, who are you?Are you Nobody Too?Then there's a pair of us--don’t tell!They'd banish us, you know....
Peace Be With You
I’ve learned over and over that effort without peace and a sense of purpose is driven madness. You are a chicken with your head cut off and this leads to a lifeless pursuit of tasks.
Spec of Golden Light
It’s not like I don’t have a lot to do today. It’s just that I want to sit here and cry. It’s life back to normal for everyone else. I barely knew her, and I can’t organize myself to put clothes on. I have plenty of work to do—a full 10 hours. I have errands to...
