"Hi Kay,
Thanks for the invitation to promote ourselves--something we writers are so shy about, as you can guess! I started publishing stories and articles in my twenties, for publications distributed nationally by the church I used to be a…"

Casey replied to Kay Van Hoesen's discussion Who Has Published and What's Your Experience? in the group Creative Intentions"Oh my God, Keddy! Just after I separated from my husband (and long before I knew you) a friend gave me a copy of We Used to Be Wives. It was so comforting and affirming to hear my experience played out in poetry. What an amazing synchronicity…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Keddy Ann Outlaw's discussion I Believe...... in the group Creative Intentions"Dear Keddy,
This is an important post. You've been deeply insightful, as usual, and the responses have been equally enlightening. Maybe my inner imp has the upper hand today, but I thought I'd share some thoughts on the flip side of…"

Only a true "goddess" would be creative enough to turn a tragedy into a date night. I hope you and Tom recover completely.

Bonnie L. Casey replied to Sue Ann Gleason's discussion So many creative endeavors, so little time! in the group Conscious Bites"This dressing sounds delicious! I'm trying to picture some sort of HazMat suit I could rig up to shred the raw beet. I'll experiment with proportions for one. Sounds like a great winter salad. Thanks!"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Keddy Ann Outlaw's discussion Seizing the (Rainy) Day in the group Creative Intentions"In general, I'm the opposite of a hoarder. I periodically go on tears through closets, the basement, the attic, finding things to donate or throw out. I always feel cleansed afterward.
But there are things I hang on to on the theory that…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Keddy Ann Outlaw's discussion Musical Inspiration in the group Creative Intentions"Dear Keddy,
Like Sue Ann, I've learned to cherish silence. I think of turning off the impulse to fill empty space with sound as a spiritual discipline. But when I do listen to music, my tastes are all over the spectrum. I grew up…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Sue Ann Gleason's discussion 'Tis the Season in the group Conscious Bites"Since I read this, I excavated that half bag of coconut from my freezer and started sprinkling it over fruit chunks, like oranges or pineapple. It's always a treat to find out something delicious is good for you!"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Keddy Ann Outlaw's discussion Labyrinth Walking as a Spiritual Practice in the group Creative Intentions"Dear Keddy,
Labyrinths are special to my heart and spirituality. In my memoir (http://www.bonnielcasey.com/GrowingInCircles.aspx) I wrote about how a labyrinth helped me discover a longing for the Divine Feminine. You're right, they are…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Keddy Ann Outlaw's discussion Learning Something New: Knitting! in the group Creative Intentions"Hi Keddy,
Leave it to you to make a difficult time an occasion for learning and creativity. Best wishes to you and your mom right now.
I learned to knit in my late 20s and mastered the usual scarves and hats for my close family…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Sue Ann Gleason's discussion Beleauguered Cook in the group Conscious Bites"Here’s my recipe for a custardy bread pudding with rich caramel butter sauce. But first a word about butter—don’t be shy. Use real butter (salted is fine) in the lavish amounts the recipe calls for. Nothing will turn this delicious…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Bonnie L. Casey's discussion Creative Solutions in the group Creative Intentions"Yes indeed, ladybugs have sex. Their name derives from their penchant for eating crop-destroying insects. Thus, people thanked "Our Lady" for their presence in the fields. Also, Mary was often depicted in art wearing a red cloak with seven…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Sue Ann Gleason's discussion Beleauguered Cook in the group Conscious Bites"I'll try to remember to post it this weekend. I'm usually reluctant to share this recipe, not out of stinginess, but because it's so utterly decadent--heart attack on a spoon, really. But there's a reason we evolved to crave fats…"
Bonnie L. Casey replied to Sue Ann Gleason's discussion Beleauguered Cook in the group Conscious Bites""Bumbleberry" is a name the farmer's mother came up with for her combination of blackberry, raspberry, and red currant. She extracts almost all the seeds and uses as little sugar as possible. I never run out!"
Keddy Ann Outlaw replied to Bonnie L. Casey's discussion Creative Solutions in the group Creative Intentions"Just read your ladybug post - perfect! What a subversive government employee you are.

Kay Van Hoesen said… - Welcome, Bonnie, to Here Women Talk. I'm the founder, and we're delighted to have you here.
We just launched in June so we’re still in our infancy, and thus you can help direct our growth.
Glad to see you’ve already participated in some groups. I love your writing, and last night I commented on your discussion “Pace is Everything.”
I visited your site, and I’m fascinated by your Sacred Circle. I love the concept of women uniting to not only support each other, but also to search for meaning and connection with the Divine. Beautiful. With that in mind, another group you might enjoy is Rivers of Faith.
Please check out our live internet radio programming. Topics run from light-hearted (Bringing Man out of the Cave) to life changing (TRAFFICKED) to help with business promotion, and even a private eye sharing P.I.secrets. These shows are all social with call-ins and chat-ins welcome.
You can find all our shows on the "Radio-Schedule" tab at the top of each page.
You may want to set your email preferences to choose which emails you receive. Here are the instructions: http://www.herewomentalksocial.com/notes/FAQs
Thanks for joining us.

Sue Ann Gleason said… - You did it, photo and all! Welcome, Bonnie. Can't wait to showcase your latest food story. I'm looking forward to sharing nourishment stories, recipes, and more. In fact, I still have little snippets of emails that you've sent me over the years telling me about something lusciously simple that you just cooked up with the freshest of ingredients!
