I’ve always liked the name of Leanne’s blog–Cresting the Hill. To crest means to reach the top, the highest point. For some midlife women, those who imagine their lives to be glasses half empty, cresting the hill might suggest that it’s all downhill from here. A gradual or precipitous decline[…]

I met Janet Mary Cobb when we were both participating in April’s A-Z Blogging Challenge. She was ‘new’ to blogging, having given up a couple of blogs earlier in her life. As a new blogger, taking on the A-Z challenge was a deep dive not a cautious toe dip. Janet[…]

One of my wishes for Profound Journey is that it be a community.  To that end, the Tribe Stories section of Profound Journey is a place where you are invited to talk with all of us. Sometimes you might share a story. Sometimes you might want to answer questions: not-too-scary,[…]

I’m delighted to introduce you to Debbie Kasman, the friend who first took me to see Lucy–the psychic I talk about in A Curious Skeptic in the Land of Woo-Woo.  I’ve seen Debbie just a few times in the last three decades. We follow each other’s blogs and through that[…]
