Christmas & "New Year" have come & gone and life feels just the same. I'm still me! Still working on it, still growing, still learning & grateful for every bit of it. I'm grateful for friends & family who enrich my life and teach me new things all the time. I'm grateful for God, my father & God, my mother and Jesus my brother and all the love and patience and teaching I get from that source as well. I'm grateful for health and strength and a good mind. I'm grateful for this journey & the awakening process I'm in. I look forward to the rest of it and can't wait for new adventures to come; and they're coming!! Happy New Year2009 is looking good!!!

Here's a Whirling Dervish that we saw on the Dinner Cruise on the Nile in Cairo
The older I get the more aware I am of how asleep I've been most of my life. Holy Cow! I attended a seminar about 30 years ago and I heard the phrase
"The somnambulist awakens"
That's me!! I'm still waking up after all these years and now I know that the process never really ends. There's always the next level after I get to the one I'm shooting for. Eternal progression ROCKS! Especially now that I have a deeper understanding of the whole process that I'm in (we are all in it) I am moving into a place of patience with myself, gratitude for the process and a more conscious & committed relationship to the process.
I'm the 3rd of 6 children born to Arvil Alexander Cochran & Edith Merle Dawsey Cochran. I have four sisters & one brother who are Jann, Devan, Bronwyn, Tana & Lex. I was born in Columbia, Mississippi & grew up in Houston, Texas. I took off for two years of school at Ricks college in Idaho and then married the handsome & fabulous Brayton Wight in June of 1973 in Salt Lake City. We have 5 amazing children; Sarah, Zandy, Clancy, Lacy & Taylor.
I now have 10 amazing grandchildren also. Lily (Amelia officially), Lance, Mac, Ella, Rohan,Brynja, William, Vincent, Victoria & Ethan. We also have 3 beautiful step-grandsons; Kaidyn, Tregan & Easton.
We lived in SLC for 23 years and have lived in Idaho Falls, Idaho for 12 years as of this writing. I'm just now REALLY learning about me & I'm lovin' it!
