Elizabeth Rightor, MA, MEd. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Love Soft Like Silence. Love Soft Like Silence. By Elizabeth Anne Rightor. When the rooting is over. Begins to take shape,. Rivers become full again. Love is soft,. When it needs be,. How to be, again,. How to lean into. To find the gaze. The spot where you. And we are left. New, something holy,. Love has its own. Tenacity; it has. Sometimes, it sounds. Posted by Elizabeth @ 11:26 AM. At September 9, 2009 at 12:34 PM. Subscribe to Inner Radiance.

Elizabeth Rightor, MA, MEd. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. By Elizabeth Anne Rightor. Cherish this anger,. Blow into it with billows,. Make it come alive. Burn all that was in my. Mind, in my heart. Sing loudly, shout. Shout loudly at myself,. I would lean into. Soaring and longing,. Never knowing the outcome. If I were not looking. For an easier, softer way,. I would say no. To anyone and anything. Of my heart,. In the pitch black. Touch the hot stones,. Under a banyan tree. I would do whatever it takes.

May I Have a Word? Adoption, race, hair. Sunday, April 24, 2011. Wendy's and Dave Thomas' Images of Waiting Children. We love the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. They do a lot of great work encouraging people to adopt kids from foster care- among the most notable achievements are the federal tax breaks Dave successfully advocated for in the 90s and of course Wendy's fast food restaurant which dedicates a percentage of its profits to adoption. You want to reach into the poster and hold the kid. But y...

May I Have a Word? Adoption, race, hair. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Tried and True Trick for Itchy Scalp. The only other thing I've found that comes close to soothing scalp is tea tree oil, but it doesn't always work right away for me. Mostly I stick with the mouthwash, and every winter when I reach for the bottle of Scope before stepping in the shower I think, "Guess what, Mom? You were right.". Links to this post.

http://www.foodbabbler.com/2009/07/preserving-joy_27.html
Monday, July 27, 2009. Last week I went on a berry hunting spree. Truth be told, it did not take much hunting to find the berry treasure because this is their season.

If you live in Ontario. Pick Your Own Crop Harvest Calendar. Another bonus that many city dwellers don’t know about is that sour cherry trees (a...

May I Have a Word? Adoption, race, hair. Thursday, April 14, 2011. Hair Trick for Greasy Roots. Most people with curly/ethnic hair like mine do not have a problem with greasy hair. It's the opposite- we're always looking for ways to extra hydrate. But tonight had me thinking about tricks that people with hair I'd always imagined as ideal and "easy" use to deal with hair dilemmas. Don't use too much or it will turn your hair white, the women say. April 14, 2011 at 7:29 PM. April 20, 2011 at 3:29 AM. Music...

May I Have a Word? Adoption, race, hair. Sunday, May 30, 2010. My Church Is a Diverse Place. This is one of the reasons why I love my church.
