Remember when you were in school and your parent, or whoever looked after you, checked your homework and found errors? You’d get that look and hear, try again. The error might be corrected the first try or it could go on until both of you were worn out. In order to correct your mistakes, you…

Sometimes things happen, simple things really. Today I rocked my youngest grandson to sleep. Nothing profound. But it was. I just wanted to spend a little time with him so we stepped out on the porch and sat in the rocker. Today was a beautiful day. Sunny, warm, nice breeze. So we talked and played…

How many times has music saved me? Saved my soul. Saved my life. Saved my sanity. Music is one of the strongest forces ever to exist on this earth. Cheery music to give you that little push towards being just a little happier. Music that brings back memories to the best and worst days of…

How are your boxes doing? You know, the boxes you have packed away. Some of them everyone knows about but some of them even you don’t admit exist. Compartmentalizing. The way you deal with life. This small box way in the back, in the dark, we con’t talk about. It’s heavy and scary. You think…

A little more than a hint but less than, well, you know, a hammer to the head. Getting my attention. Sometimes I’m a little slow to catch on but more likely it’s the procrastination. The putting off and putting off and then the universe has had enough with you and you get the, well, the…

Do you ever feel like the world around you is crazy? Crazy with rules. Crazy with revelations. Crazy with things going on all around you. All of a sudden things are spinning and you try so hard to grab on to something to steady you? Then you realize all the craziness in the world is…

Nearly 25 years ago someone very important to me gave me a pair of 1/10 carat size diamond earrings. I wore those every day earrings for close to 20 years (of course taking them off for regular cleaning!). About 5 years ago I had to have a medical scan done which required me to remove…

Twenty years ago I took a test. A BIG test. I failed that test. One test after a series of passing test after test after test for seven years. One. My whole life changed that day. I came upon the fork in the road and had to choose which path to take. I had to…

As I opened my eyes I noticed beautiful colors. I blinked, focused and realized the mirror on my desk was reflecting my window. Then I realized the beautiful colors were a reflection of the first sunrise of spring, the first day of the real new year. Spring Equinox was the original new year before some…

You don’t read my posts. You said so. One day you will. And you’ll find our history. You asked me once if I write about you. Of course I do. You’re part of everything I do. And you have been. Even before we met. We grew up together. We knew the same people, had a…

I don’t have to tell any of you that the goings on in this world right now are at a frantic pace. The snowball is rolling down the hill getting larger and larger, running over everything in its path. My goal this weekend was to stay out of the way of the snowball and enjoy…

Can you hear this child laughing? The sweet, contagious, pure laugh of a child. His dad has probably tossed him up in the air, probably more than once. The child is delighted and joyful. The kind of joyful only a child can truly be. Before the world changes him. The kind of joyful we should…

A common theme that keeps coming up since I’ve been doing energy work is relax, everything is ok, you’re right where you’re supposed to be. Ok, but what happens when you realize where you are sucks? Like, it’s really NOT where I want to be? When memories come around or old pictures land in your…

I got to see it snow again today. I’m alive. I’m alive and I have natural immunity. My family is mostly well and some are still mending and I’m so very thankful for them all. I have a home and heat and running water and warm clothes. And food. A job and a decent car.…

How do we save ourselves from what this world has become? How do we break free from germs and fear and isolation and drudgery and surviving? We have to touch each other. Hugs. Kisses. Stand close. Damn the germs. Damn the warnings. Damn the mandates. Damn the fear. How have humans gotten to the place…

The last day of 2021. What a crazy, mixed-up, amazing time to be alive. Most people look at tomorrow, New Year’s Day, to be a new beginning, a new year. Well, yes, on the calendar it is. But man created the calendar, the days, the keeping of time. Time is eternal, never-ending, just flowing from…

Why is it so hard sometimes to keep control? When that one thing triggers you and you have to make yourself not react to it? You mull it over – should you react, should you say something? Since you’ve lived so many years not wanting to upset the apple cart, when is the right time?…

What is the word for when the word love isn’t right or enough? For what it is when you’re so connected to that one person that you don’t even need words? When you’re not together you miss them but then you see them and you’re happy but when you leave them again you miss them…

To repair with gold. This is a Japanese philosophy suggesting that broken things can be repaired with gold and thus made more valuable. In other words, everything has value, even broken, seemingly unrepairable objects. The true value of a thing honored with the value of the gold. Nothing is useless or irrelevant. Remember this when…

My trees are so smart! Every time they talk to me I learn something, usually something so simple but I never thought about it before. So just now I was leaning against my tree, Charlotte, sending out love and healing energy to all, especially those that need a little bit extra right now. So after…

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Of course, this is from Genesis telling the story of creation. God wanted to experience every aspect of being human. Why? Maybe he was bored. Maybe he was curious. Maybe being human was…

Time for bed. Water, check. Headphones, check. Selenite crystal, check. Incense, check. Lights out, check. Fuzzy blanket, check. Off to dreamland, che……..not so fast. Too much thinking. Too many memories. Ok, so I’ll check Telegram, see if anything’s happening. Chat post or two. Ok, you’ve got to sleep now. Maybe some music. Ok, let’s see.…

Have you ever been lost? I don’t mean the lost you get when the Google map lady is drunk and tells you to make a turn and you end up at the border patrol gate. I mean the lost you get when you lose yourself and have no idea where you are or who you…

Giving thanks: Today, I’m thankful for flowers. All of them. Especially peonies, roses and hydrangeas. And hyacinths and lilacs and geraniums. Like I said, all of them. This mix is similar to what ended up on grandma’s table in the early summer every year. I remember she had a row of peonies all the way…

It’s that spooky time of the year. Almost Halloween. Time for witches and goblins. What do witches do mostly? They cast spells. Good or bad, it matters not. The main way to cast a spell is to recite words, to chant. The act of reciting or chanting is throwing the words out into the universe,…

How much can one heart hold? No, I don’t mean how much blood the human muscle known as the heart organ can hold while pumping life through a person’s body. I mean the ethereal center of a person’s soul. When someone says their heart is bursting, it indicates the heart has reached its capacity and…

Do you love music as much as I do? Like REALLY love it? Feel it down to your very soul? You know the good songs by the way they make you feel. And sometimes, out of nowhere really, what they make you feel hits you so strong, so sudden, that you literally, and I mean…

The universe has a mischievous sense of humor sometimes. It rained a little during the night, so I made my usual cup of coffee and took a towel with me out on the back deck to dry off my rocking chair. It’s my routine most mornings to enjoy that first cup of coffee while outside…

Today’s the perfect day for piddling. Kind of a lazy day but not lazy enough to nap all day. The kind of day for cleaning out a drawer thinking that’s all you want to get done today. Which leads to putting things away. Which leads to sorting out a box and finding bits and bobs,…

One of my exes used to say that tactfulness wasn’t one of my strong suits. He was referring to my bluntness I suppose. Yes, I have a way of pointing out the elephant in the room sometimes but it’s only because I love you. I try to never be rude, my grandmother wouldn’t approve of…

Yes, I know last week was the official start of Fall but it just didn’t feel like it to me. The weather has been beautiful but just hasn’t had that crispness of fall yet. Until today. I try to go out on the back deck most mornings to enjoy the first cup of coffee in…

Inspire. Literally to take in breath. Breath that is the foundation of life. You can have the form, the composition, but without breath there is no life. When there is inspiration, taking in breath, there is life. So now that you have it, what do you do with it? The modern day view of the…

Almost as quiet as a new snowfall. When you wake up to a foggy morning, the world is slow and still. Cozy, time for a warm cup of something you love. Maybe a second sleep nap. Sometimes the fog hangs around and turns into drizzle or rain. Sometimes the fog drifts away into a sunny…

Benjamin Franklin said “nothing is certain but death and taxes”. I’m not sure I agree with that statement anymore. Death is nothing more than leaving the mortal body to return to the immortal soul. A transition. Taxes are pretty much illegal but that’s a story for another day. I’ve drawn my own conclusions and decided…

One of those days. Several of those days actually. So much turmoil and sadness everywhere. The loss of a loved one by extended family members, loss of our dear military, uncertainty in our world. How is love the answer on days like these? It’s hard. You need to experience and acknowledge the sadness and sorrow.…

Unconditional love. I first learned this word in my twenties. You’d think I’d have learned it before then, but no, I heard it one day during a James Dobson radio show I was listening to while painting my living room back in the eighties. The context was that God sent Jesus to die for us…

Have you ever been caught in a hailstorm? You try your best but no matter which way you run, you’re gonna get hit You go as fast as you can and dodge as much as you can and hope for the best. Finally you get to safety and you might be a little dinged up…

Ah vacation! I should be napping in this hammock on this beach. Yeah, boy that would be nice. However, I’m writing this from the other side of the living room. That’s my vacation so far. First personal vacation week I’ve taken off since 2019. Where has all the time gone? Time flies when you’re having…

It’s been a rainy couple of days. On and off, a storm here or there. More rain coming this week. But that’s fine. I love the rain. And LOVE thunderstorms! The energy and the aliveness of it, the smell and the coziness. So much energy, even in the naps and grayness of it. But rainy,…

I hope you like simple because that’s what you’ll get here. Enough of the complicated world and all its craziness! It seems like new issues and challenges are popping up faster than we can process them. And it’s hard. But you can deal with hard without being engulfed by negativity. Accept the feelings and emotions…
