Honoring Creative Expressions of All Stripes

BlackLion and I have recently, through our drumming with the Dark Follies vaudeville troupe, gotten involved in the steampunk movement (click here if you’d like to learn more about what that means). We attended the Steampunk World’s Fair in New Jersey last weekend, and had such a fun time! If you link up with me […]

Why Drumming Helps With My Writing

Feline Drummers at the Watch City Festival in Waltham, MA 5/12/12 photo by Jennifer Wright Owen Elven Tiger and I are taking a drawing class at our homeschool co-op, based on the book “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” by Betty Edwards. At this point in my life, I’ve done lots of meditation, […]

Cleanse Complete!

Oops. I guess I’ve wandered away from the regular updates about the raw food cleanse! Well, it was a busy but fun week, and it’s been going well. Now we’re on day ten of ten, so I guess it’s pretty much complete. On Monday, I got a bit bored with the food I was eating, […]

A Blessful Weekend

Well, I was going to write either “blessed” or “blissful” in the title, and ended up combining the two. I think it works well as a description. I’ve been having lots of fun! Saturday BlackLion and I celebrated our anniversary, and also Cinco de Mayo! We started our day with a yummy green smoothie. We […]

Am I Rusty?

Woke up to lots of rain again today. The trees and plants are loving it! I enjoyed giving a Reiki session this morning, followed by doing some chores and then working on my book. The cats were in and out, and Percy came and snuggled on my lap for a while when I was writing. […]

Resting Today

It’s day 3 of the raw food cleanse, and you might be sick of hearing about it already, heh heh. This morning I woke up feeling a bit dizzy and not really ready to face the day. But it is Thursday, which means our homeschool co-op day, so I got ready and we headed out. […]

Cleansing is Going Well

I had the thought that the raw food cleanse might be hard for me to do. But so far, it’s been easy and wonderful. I think my body was really ready. All of the foods I’m eating taste so delicious, and I’m feeling perfectly full even though I’m eating a lot less than I have […]

Crafting a Spring Cleanse

Today is Beltane, or May Day, which I think is a rather auspicious day to begin a spring cleanse. What cleanse am I doing? Well, one that BlackLion and I are making up as we go along, of course (we invited Quester to join us too, but he politely declined). When we went to the […]

My Busy-ness

Over the past few weeks, I’ve come up with a bunch of ideas of things to post here, but haven’t actually sat down to write them up. Why? I’m busy. I know, lame excuse, everyone’s busy, you hear it all the time. This isn’t the type of busy I’ve had in the past, though, where […]

Shining From the Inside Out

Note: I wrote this article a few weeks ago, as a “guest blog” submission for Kind Over Matter. I haven’t heard back from them yet, so I decided to post it here instead. I haven’t given up on posting for them – I love that site! – but I’ll craft something new when the inspiration […]
