Fears.

Box on whiteIt seemed seasonally appropriate for me to write about fear…

A few simple truths about fear:

  • All fear is rooted in the perceived future loss of something we either have or hope to have.
  • Most of our fears do not come to pass.
  • Fear of something specific is easier for us to deal with than free-floating anxiety.
  • No matter what you do, you’ll never eradicate all your fears.

A few postulates about fear based on the above:

  • Perhaps we would feel less fearful if we were less attached to objects and outcomes. (Duh.)
  • Maybe
    we hold on to fears that don’t come to pass because they are simply
    more comfortable to deal with than the anxiety that comes with being
    alive.
  • Becoming comfortable with your fears might just be the best plan.

E-mail me your thoughts…

With love,

Oh, Honey.

Fall, 2025 I’m sitting in my favorite chair in the living room. The sky is getting darker. It’s almost dusk. I check the time: 4:40 p.m. The dark starts early these days. Especially in the Pacific Northwest. I make a mental note to take my vitamin D in the morning. ✧✧✧ Most weeks I get a bit panicked that I

It’s o.k. to seek love.

November 6, 2025

Beloved reader, I am redoing the rotb.org website.  Again. Why am I redoing the website again? Because a website older than (blank) years is (blank minus one) years overdue for a facelift.  (The standard is three years for small sites and six years for large sites.)  ✧✧✧ While placing into the background a composite grid, 15 wide by five tall,
