Cake of the Month: April, Part 1

I don’t have a picture to share with you, as April’s cake has yet to be made. We had planned a birthday gathering tonight for a dear friend who I’ll call Ocean Mouse (because she lives near the ocean and loves mice), but she had to have a medical procedure done today, instead. I’m not […]

A Poem for Joy

I wrote a poem for my friend Joy, based on her writing prompt. It seems this is National Poetry Month. So I reached within and captured this glimpse of where I am at this moment…subject to change at will! Nikki,Transforming, becoming, allowing, in motion.Who loves creating, dancing, being.Who feels open, inspired, overwhelmed.Who gives comfort, smiles, […]

The Study: A Background

I’ve had a few readers ask about the notion of “unschooling my Masters’ degree” that I spoke about in an earlier post. After some thought, I realized that I’ve been doing so for years now, and just hadn’t recognized it as such. I’m still not sure exactly what to call my topic, but I thought […]

Networking in My PJs

For a few years now I’ve belonged to some online groups that I really enjoy, my favorite being Danya Martin’s Radical Unschooling with Law of Attraction (RU-LOA) e-mail list. I’m also a part of Faerie Nation, as […]

Thinking About Mastery

Leaving aside for a moment the obvious (to me) concerns about the word itself (with its connotations of sexism and racism), I’m pondering the concept of mastery. The word arose as part of a bigger discussion about oversouls and channeling, and was framed in the context of creativity. According to Quester, mastery involves a lot […]

Powers of Positivity, Activate!

“Quite simply, a belief in the good without a belief in the evil, may seem highly unrealistic to you. This belief, however, is the best kind of insurance that you can have, both during physical life and afterward. “It may OUTRAGE YOUR INTELLECT, and the evidence of your physical senses may shout that it is […]
