About
It came to me in a dream recently, the words “Breathing Blue”.Â
I knew instantly what they meant. Every day as I walk, I look to the sky and try to breathe in as much of the blue as I can, knowing that it’s a healing color for me. Â
Lately, I’ve noticed that I stop and reflect more–I turn and look … and see how many moments have shaped me.  Life is full of these moments and often, they were downright nasty at the time, and now I see they were necessary.
Mini-turning points – I have had hundreds! So many people I know will point to one defining moment that was life changing. Not so for me. Every point has been small and not very dramatic and yet, the impact of each was as deep as an earthquake.  This site is dedicated to those turning points.

Thank you again Roberta! But the credit for the picture goes to my good friend Sue Kozem. Sue is a graphic designer who worked with me and created the beautiful photo. I will be sure to let her know how you appreciate her work.
