And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.- Kahlil Gibran
Hard these days not to feel either hopeless and depressed or so outraged and disgusted you consider creating open season on the management of BP Oil. Yeah, been there myself.
What does pull me [...]
Amazing ways to honor Big Momma!
It’s been an intensely painful week personally, trying to deal with so much human-induced abuse to this amazing planet and to all of her creatures, including humans. And while some days all I can do is walk by the river and weep, I’ve received some truly inspiring ideas recently that are happening right in our [...]
It’s March: we’re late, we’re late!
Welcome to spring, everyone! And thanks for re-joining the blog after my winter’s pause. More info is coming on the program in Haiti with some good news for a change at a later date.
For now it’s been typical spring in Albuquerque: snow, rain, wind, sunshine, heat, more wind. I hope you already have peas [...]

As I was writing this last week, I was feeling the excitement of a book nearly completed, of a Youtube video on ‘outrageous gardening’ being edited, of all the support I receive on nearly a daily basis from friends, family, colleagues and the amazing women of my personal sisterhood collective. I was ready to announce [...]

– Reverend David Beckmann
And sealed within apathy is the feeling of helplessness with a smattering of “it will always be this way” thrown at us on [...]
Full Moon BOOK Giveaway
This Lammas I had much to celebrate. My personal “harvest” included a transition to new type of position living alongside a house full of women on the University of New Mexico campus. This allows me to use many of the skills I’ve acquired over this lifetime (including patience which I know will be tested many [...]
Growing food–Missouri style!
It’s been a wild and crazy year in the garden–cool early summer in Albuquerque and now blistering hot. I’ve traveled to the midwest and back and while some of my plants withered while I was gone, I have the fall garden to look forward to. Three season gardening should become the norm rather than remain [...]
The “secret” of Outrageous Gardens
[This site was fully operational in less than 24 hours and even faster thanks to my amazing webmistress Michelle Vandepas of Divine Purpose Unleashed and some powerful intending. Although I don't generally promote for profit sites, I can't say enough positive things about this amazing woman. If anyone is still wondering about putting up a [...]
Envision this! PLEASE!!
Just a note to let folks know, problems with uploading on my website prevented me from adding the information on “The ‘ Secret’ of Outrageous Gardens,” which is now a downloadable handout. I also cannot put up information on a book giveaway for this month so maybe we’ll do two next time!
Since I can’t upload photos [...]
