Harley and B.H. sat at the kitchen table, each with a mug of gravy and a small plate of cheese. While B.H. nibbled his cheese politely, Harley crammed all the pieces into her snout and chewed loudly. Gordy, chopping vegetables at the counter, looked over his hump at her and Continue Reading
Occasionally, I take a day away from The Family Bed to run errands, attend workshops & meetings, or maybe even grab a latte with my Spirit Guide. Even though I love my work, I sometimes just need a break, you know? I try not to take these ‘holidays’ very often: Many of my Companions Continue Reading
