How to beat the turkey-feast food coma

ByLakota Grace

  There used to be a wonderful commercial for Pesto Bismol that had a poor being clutching his/her stomach moaning, “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.” That’s me today. Thanksgiving was a wonderful feast with good food and good company. And I swear my IQ has dropped 30 points overnight, dealing with the…

Where Blackjack lives

ByLakota Grace

This is Montezuma’s Castle, which is not technically a castle and most definitely was not owned by Montezuma, who never traveled this far north from Mexico.

  Book Launch Day is exciting–like the birth of a new baby that you’ve carried for so long. It’s time to let go of the indigestion, the sacrifice of things you’d like to do in exchange for the things you must do, the sleepless nights, the stress, and the angst. Finally these come to an end….

Silver had the bad luck to be raised in the other kind. Rather than what COULD BE, she lives by the truth of WHAT IS. She has three rules. #1–People don’t always do…

Wanting to fly away

ByLakota Grace

Bird flight is a miraculous event. I once had the privilege of watching two golden eagles in mating flight over the Red Rocks of Sedona. They swooped and swirled, and at the very last moment the female turned on her back in mid-flight and they joined, the male carrying both of them with his strong…
