A follower of Michaela's Facebook page recently told me about a video blogger who had done a story on Michaela. Not sure how these things happen without me hearing about them, but I'm glad I found out about this one. Danelle Hallan did a great job. She did a huge amount of research and... Continue Reading →

It was as if a million voices cried out
I took the photo above on a trip through the detour around the California wildfires last summer. It looked like even the sun was on fire. I didn't live anywhere near the fires, although I did live near enough that the Bay Area was covered with smoke that pushed air quality into hazardous ranges that... Continue Reading →

Thirty years later
Oh my Lord, this has been such a hard season. The anniversary has come and gone now. Thirty whole years. The remembrance service was beautiful and there were so many wonderful people there. Dear, dear friends, most of them gifts from Michaela, who I don't see nearly often enough. There were two people there who... Continue Reading →

I’m a survivor!
I was telling my friend a few days ago about how we sometimes wake up one day, and we are a new person. Something subtle has shifted within us, and we feel completely different than we did before. I experienced this today. If you've read this blog for awhile, you know that breast cancer has... Continue Reading →
Loss in the shadows
Funny how sometimes you do something, and only afterwards realize that what you were actually doing was something totally different. I know this statement probably makes no sense. But I spent this morning roaming around Lake Chabot looking for my missing kitties. Someone on the street had recently trapped the cats on our street and... Continue Reading →
New old content!
I just wanted to let you know that I have now imported my previous personal blog, as well as the entirety of Dear Michaela, into Seeker's Road. With honestly just a few clicks you can scroll back through my blogs to my very first entry, on August 11, 2009. Then just over two weeks later,... Continue Reading →
Walking out of the dark
First of all, let me assure you that I am feeling better. Much, much, much better. So no need to send advice, or to call 911, although prayers are always welcome. But for the last few months I have been trudging through the deepest darkness. I've had my daughter kidnapped. I've had my mother die. I've... Continue Reading →
How you can help
Between the approaching 30th anniversary of Michaela's kidnapping, and the recent removal of all our ribbons from "Michaela's tree," I have been creating new flyers and buttons, and hanging new ribbons. I went to the market yesterday and was really happy to see that a number of people had actually already been there, hanging new... Continue Reading →
