reading time: 2 minutes As I enter Cronehood, I’m truly feeling the lack of female elders in my immediate family. My maternal grandmother died when I was just 16, my paternal grandmother when I was 37, and my mom when I was 44. And not one of them entered this phase without surgical help, […]
reading time: < 1 minute Kiss The Earth by Thich Nhat Hanh Walk and touch peace every moment. Walk and touch happiness every moment. Each step brings a fresh breeze. Each step makes a flower bloom. Kiss the Earth with your feet. Bring the Earth your love and happiness. The Earth will be safe when we […]
reading time: < 1 minute I love these verses… 16. May those who malign me, or harm me, or accuse me falsely, and others all be recipients of awakening. 17. May I be a protector of the helpless, a guide for those on the path, a boat, a bridge, a way for those who wish to crossover. […]
reading time: 2 minutes My card of the day scared me a bit today. But, as in all things tarot and oracle, one can not take a death card literally! Fortunately! I have had more than enough of death and loss over the last several years, and I don't need any more of that […]

reading time: 3 minutes Although I don't think she intended it to be this way, my friend Renee has become my spiritual guru/life inspiration. She is on her own spiritual/life journey at the moment and she is so open and sharing with it that it is inspiring. I have been in a rut for […]
reading time: 2 minutes I have barely blogged at all this month, but it certainly isn’t for lack of trying. Every time I sit down and open up my admin panel to write, my mind either goes blank or I can’t think of anything to write that is fit for public consumption. I miss […]
reading time: < 1 minute Happy New Year! It is 2010, and I can only hope that this year is better than last! Having Soldier Daddy home is definately a good start, however!! ♥ We rang it in with good friends and adult beverages at midnight, after a night of laughter, so much that I […]
reading time: 2 minutes Sometimes it amazes me just how divisive religion and faith can be. I hate the assumptions that people sometimes make based on superficial, often incorrect, ideas of what another’s belief system is all about. I have always believed that most religions share the same core values and are, in essence, […]
