Monday’s Doings

It’s been a pretty mellow day here today. It’s been nice hot sunny summer weather, and the fans are going. Laundry, kitchen cleaning, and grocery shopping, along with doing some work on our business, Feline Dreamers. Lots of hangout time and conversation. BlackLion, ElvenTiger, and I took a lovely bike ride just a while ago, […]

Down to Earth Homemaking

Today I hosted a small gathering at my home, sort of an afternoon tea for women in the Red Temple group of Pagan women. I had set a batch of herbal sun tea out on the picnic table this morning to steep (Indian Spice flavor). I washed and hung out two loads of laundry, and […]

Getting Fit

I’ve written about wanting to lose weight before, and my intuitive knowledge that, for me, it’s more about the mindset than the practical aspects. I’ve been continuing my study and practice of mindfulness and presence recently, and that’s helped me feel ready to move forward in getting more fit. Part of my struggle, as I’ve […]

Course of Study

I’m doing an impromptu course of study, mostly of Buddhism but also other systems of examining the mind and emotions. I’ve mentioned here how I enjoy reading epic fantasy and other types of fiction.

We wish one more day,An hour, a moment,With our beloved one.We want […]

And that’s how I want to earn a living, or at least contribute to my family’s financial needs. It sounds simple, huh? I even have confidence in my art. I’ve been practicing for a long time, I […]

300th Post!

Welcome to the 300th post on this blog! I started with the first post back in January of 2006. My thanks to JWL for helping me set it up, and for hosting it on the Freakwitch website for the first few years. I enjoy blogging, and having a place like this to share my personal […]

Summer Arrives With a Fanfare of Clouds and Sunshine

Every Winter Solstice, for many years now, I stay up all night and greet the Sun at dawn. This has become a tradition for us on the longest night of the year. This year, BlackLion and I decided to stay awake all day on the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. I’m a […]

BlackLion and I have just started a new Yahoo group and would like to invite you to check it out and join us if you wish. We wanted to create a place for people who are walking their own spiritual paths but are looking for community and support. “Making Your Life A Masterpiece” is a […]
