Hmmm?
On a day like today, with the groans of making room for my 15 year old to spread his wings…with Mother’s Day on the rise and mine lives in a nursing home…with the press of time, panting at my calves salivating…I take a walk.
I talk to my Mom as I walk. This is what I saw.
What do you do?
Welcome to the Laundry Line.
Here you will find weekly posts about what I find fascinating, inspiring and captivating about life. What could a woman raising 2 teen agers in a small town have for the world community of the internet? How about warmth, joy, curiosity and celebration? Here at the Laundry Line, my artwork, my collaborations, my way of living in the world, as my friend Daniel sings "One thing at a time" creates space for you to find in your own life that same sense of celebration.
What do I want from you, my treasured and appreciated readers?
*Time enough to read and let whatever is hanging on the Line filter in to your heart.
*Comments and feedback about what you encounter here.
*Spreading the word and sharing this site with other like minded people.
*Support and oomph for my mission to "See and Celebrate the Sacred in Daily Living".
*When the day comes, I would love your endorsement for my book titled "Laundry Line Divine: A Wild Soul Book for Mothers".
*Until then, read me, like me, tweet me- in your own perfect and elegant timing.
Thank you so much for giving me some of your day. I truly appreciate this generosity.

HI! I came over from Kathy’s Up North blog…love your photos, especially the light shining through the tulip poplars. My Mom is gone, so I know something of your loss, not having her nearby. Even though she’s still here, in a nursing home, you’ve suffered a loss of the Mom you knew. Those of us without our Moms just need to get through this holiday. And carry on.

I’m sorry that your mom is in a nursing home. And that Dawn’s mom is gone. Just walked with my girlfriend yesterday (who has lost both parents) and wondered what it’s going to be like to lose mine. This morning I called them both to tell them my blog made the front page of WordPress. Silly, a 52 year old woman calling her parents to tell them such a thing! And yet someday they won’t be around…
What do we do with a broken heart? …I don’t know, but am sitting here feeling yours right now and wishing I could hug you.
