Once, I encountered a rattlesnake on a country road Boots and I were traveling on, and I thought it strange that Boots didn't react to it.


We just stood there, mesmerized, until it crawled out of the road and onto the bank beside it, where it curled up and began rattling its tail.


We beat feet out of there.


These days, I am trying to beat feet away from politics, for it is/was driving me crazy.


So, I'm starting this sequel with a new attitude. I'm not leaving the country I love behind by avoiding expressing myself; I am choosing to find a happier place than the one they want for me.  And I will continue to blog on my original https://www.wishonwhitehorses.com/


It isn't easy to let go of fear. I feared that rattlesnake long ago, and wondered why I had stood there watching it for so long.


The idea of a mastermind is to encourage others to pursue their dreams, to keep them accountable, to offer help and insight, and for the members to know they have a safe place to fall.


So, bring your concerns here, and we will love you through them. 


  • What if we all believed a bright day is ahead for us?

  • What if we decide to live joyfully, instead of letting others decide for us?

  • What if we knew that our strength and stamina together made a difference?

  • What if we believed in the hundredth monkey phenomenon, that when one little female monkey began washing her sweet potato, soon, others who had never seen her do that began washing theirs?

  • What if we sang like the Who’s in Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Who’s sang without any Christmas at all.

  • You know how a depressed person can bring down a room, and a joyful one can bring it up?


Let's get some positive vibes going.


I'll pour the champagne.


Are you with me?

Love,

Jo

To a wonderful life.
To a wonderful life.

Hi, I'm Jo,

Where Frogs I like aug26 200px.jpg

#2 in the WHERE series.

If you happen to stumble upon a half-hidden sign alongside the highway, "Voted the Best Cafe' by My Mother," slow down. About 50 feet ahead will be another sign: "Where the Frogs Sing Cafe."

Follow the arrow beside it to onto a lava-encrusted road through cane grass until you come to a thatched-roofed shack on a sandy strip leading to the ocean. There, you will find the best hamburgers in the world, and during your time there, enchantment will envelop you like a soft spring rain.

Three college girls took such a trip.

mothers letters cover.png

Wouldn’t it be something if mother, a small voice from the past, a farm-woman sitting at her kitchen table pouring out her heart on paper in thankfulness and gratitude for the children she adopted could in some manner impact the world?

The time was 1956. Mother wrote to Grandma Holt of the Holt agency off and on until 1967 when the letters stopped.

When my mother passed away, the agency sent Mom's letters to my step-dad. I typed them, placed them here between the covers of this book, and added commentary plus additional information. The reason? There was a secret in the family that mother never knew. Telling it could be a legacy for her, and for my sister Jan.

cover Its hard to stay on a horse.jpg

Eight years with horses, after a 40 year hiatus without them.  Someone said this book wasn't about horses. Oh, I see, they're right, it isn't about horses, it's about my experience with horses, more of a memoir--probably too woo woo for that reader. 

"Writing is mining your soul for epiphanies," Did  I write that? Well guess that's what I was looking for-- epiphanies.

 

Published  by Xlibris in 2008, it is still available on Amazon. 

Right now it is available on Kindle Unlimited for Free. (I never know how long that will last.)
