Dear friends and followers… I am so grateful for those of you who have found my blog and my corresponding posts to be helpful, entertaining or inspiring over the past several years. As the title of my blog indicates, what is enclosed herein is, in fact, a documentation of my personal ‘Process Of Illumination’ and, therefore, I feel it’s important to let you know that I’ve experienced a very significant …
I thought I might have an excuse not to write tonight. I’m in Madoc, Ontario, at the beautiful country home of a friend. My laptop is very slow for some reason and, while I sat and waited for the “beach ball of death” to disappear, I noticed that I was kind of hoping it would prevent me from writing. But, as it happens, the beach ball stopped turning and here …
Prologue As this is my last post of 2015, a lot has been coming up for me in terms of what to write about. For those of you who know me, or who are regular readers, you know that I’ve been feeling my way through a whole bunch of things lately. It feels as if the past two months have been a real challenge, in that regard, even though everything …
The timing of this week’s post happens to fall during the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Jewish day of atonement) which are referred to as The Days of Awe.

If I’m less coherent …
Since last week’s post (“A Scapegoat Story”) I have had some truly illuminating feedback. It started with a direct comment I received on my blog page. I didn’t respond right away because I wasn’t sure I understood it and I wanted to get clear on what the reader was saying. I also wanted to be sure how I felt about receiving it. However, before I was even able to take …
Once again, as I sit down to write, hours behind schedule and not sure what to write about, the universe (via Facebook) gives me a gift. I arrived at Rooster and opened Facebook to send a quick note to a friend. She’s a real-estate agent and I’m asking her to help me begin the search for my new office (I’m hoping to find a building to buy in the next …
As the summer comes to a close, I’m doing one of my favorite things…sitting down to write in a cozy cafe and reflecting on the abundance of memorable moments from the past two months. I’ve been to so many places, had numerous adventures and gained so much insight that it is hard to decide what to choose for the purposes of this article. But, as often happens when I step …
