Tools for the Transition

For various reasons, my “quiet, introspective time” between Samhain (Halloween) and the Winter Solstice wasn’t as deeply quiet as I’d hoped. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret anything, and I’ve been learning a lot. So, since I’ve also been busy this week, which is normally a time for evaluating the year past and setting […]

Joy Amidst the Chaos

Hard to believe I haven’t written since before Solstice. So much has happened, and I’ve certainly needed my mantra of “let in the light.” Our Solstice celebration was wonderful. Leading up to it, we did a lot of preparing and creating. ElvenTiger and I in particular have had lots of fun making things this holiday […]

Keep Letting in the Light

This is the darkest time of year for those of us in the northern hemisphere, with the longest nights and shortest days. The sun is at its lowest point. This month, it’s also the dark of the moon. The solar and lunar energies are at an ebb. Your energy level may mirror this, reflecting what’s […]

A Taste of Freedom

We were finally able to let Merlin have free roam of the house. He still can’t go outside for a few weeks, until the wires come out of his jaw, but he seems content to have more space to roam. He asked to go out once, rather politely, but was fine when we told him […]

The Tree is Up!

We decided on a theme this year – all of the ornaments are either homemade or handmade. Well, except for the candy canes we added, but I expect those will be eaten before too long. I love how it looks. So festive! Merry merry!

The Merlin Report

We got a good report on Merlin cat at the vet this morning! His jaw is staying in place and healing well, so no further surgery is necessary. YAY!!! We just have to check the wire, which is around his bottom teeth, to make sure it continues to stay in place. He’ll get it removed […]

The Way Energy Can Linger

I have a tale to tell on this moonlit winter night. It’s a true story, and it shows how connected we can be, the mysterious nature of life, and the way energy can linger. It’s about my wonderful Mom, and she has kindly given her permission for me to share the story here. Several years […]

Being a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur

When I don’t know how to do something, I study it. I’ve discovered in my studies of the past few years that there are many of us out here who are heart-centered entrepreneurs, creating purpose-based businesses. We want to help others, and to find ways to support ourselves and our families while doing what we’re […]

It’s Update Time

First things first – Merlin cat had his jaw repaired this morning. They are finished, and we’re supposed to call back in a little while to find out when we can pick him up. Thanks SO much for all your good wishes for our sweet black kitten! Please keep the healing energies coming as he […]

Making Holiday Cards

Yesterday ElvenTiger and I went to my Mom’s to make holiday cards together. In the spirit of the Saturday’s Artist project on the Ordinary Life Magic blog, I thought I’d share some pictures of the results. Yes, I realize it’s Sunday so I’m a day late, but that’s just the way I am. And the […]
