Life is a mystical and magnificent mystery. But "everyday" experiences can get our eyes off the truth about our personal journey. Yet, it is the "every day" that is showing us the way. How do we know, how can we see? When I finally realized, in my own heart, that life is for searching and [...]

No matter what, no one can take the memories: Aftermath of 9/11
I owned a travel agency. It was a dream come true and my husband, Matthew, and I, loved traveling with loyal customers and friends to the outer-most parts of the earth. The horrible events of 9/11 took that dream away from me and changed my life forever. Here is an excerpt from a journal I [...]
Kimama’s Wings
Kimama's Wings is a story that touched my heart while I was living in Los Angeles trying to get Sacajawea produced.

Where is normal?
Early one morning, I woke up from a deep sleep. The thought on my heart was, "What is normal? Where is normal?" I lay there for a moment thinking about these questions, wondering about the tears that seemed to come to my eyes during the day, for no reason. I realized something that morning, that's [...]

I remember my vision from when I was a young girl –
From Sacajawea, The Windcatcher – A Novel by Jane L. Fitzpatrick “I saw myself sitting on a narrow strip of land that seemed to never end, weaving along the edge of the sea. Water crashed and climbed over the sand, again and again, creeping up higher toward me. A mist hung in the sky and [...]

For over ten years, I had been devoting nearly my entire life to the pursuit of Sacajawea, The Windcatcher, an epic film project.
