Our Thanksgiving

We had a really fun Thanksgiving Day yesterday, and I’m so grateful for my wonderful family and friends! There were 15 of us around the table. We had a delicious meal with foods everyone contributed. Everything was so yummy! ElvenTiger, Mo and my Mom made the table look beautiful, with place cards, flowers and fancy […]

I Never Thought of It That Way

“You do realize that Abraham and Seth and those guys are probably outlaws?” said Dryst (age 12) this morning. I replied “What, for talking to us?” “Yeah, the very fact that more of them haven’t come, proves it. It’s probably like, ‘don’t mess with the Earth people, let them evolve by themselves!’” He’s really insightful, […]

Oh Yes Indeed!

Just do your best to keep yourself in balance. One of the first thingsthat causes Energy misalignment, is asking or demanding too much of yourself in terms of time and effort.

What to Eat

So Many Projects!

It must be fall – I’m feeling creative and inspired, and I have so many projects either underway, or in the planning phases. I’ve got a few winter holiday (Christmas/Yule/Solstice/New Year’s) gifts in mind already that I want to create. I can’t mention them here, at the risk of spoiling the surprise. For writing projects, […]

Unschooling and Record Keeping

I’ve been catching up on my magazine reading, and my favorite is Home Education. It’s gotten me thinking about record keeping – not only for legal reasons related to our end-of-year portfolio review, but also just for our own purposes as a family. Unschooling, in case you wonder what I’m talking about, is a form […]

News Burnout

In the first yoga class of the term, our teacher mentioned that she’d like to keep politics out of the yoga studio. No discussion of the election in the room, or even in the lobby. Several people nodded, and someone said “thank you!” My first thought was “huh? Why would we be talking about that […]
