Spring Has Sprung!

Published by on March 26, 2010 | Leave a response

Despite today’s slightly cooler weather, the sun is out and Spring is definitely in the air. I’ve been getting out for walks almost every day (except when it’s pouring rain – I just don’t like the feeling of soggy wet clothing, ick!). It’s too soon to do much in the garden, but we’re making some […]

I was recently interviewed by the wonderful Pagan priestess Keri Alley for the Bangor Paganism Examiner. Keri is a writer, organizer and whirlwind of joy. The article she wrote, as part of her series of interviews for Women’s History Month, has just been posted. If you’re interested, you can read it by clicking here. Thanks, […]

I’m going to be doing some updates to this blog pretty soon. First, I’m moving it over to live on the Feline Dreamers website, as part of the redesign and updates we’re doing there. As part of that process, I thought I’d update the look of the blog and also add some different types of […]

March Madness

Published by on March 12, 2010 | Leave a response

I have an interesting and challenging relationship with the month of March. I thought it was just me, but recently there was a post on one of my homeschooling e-lists about this very thing. I guess I’m not the only one who finds it difficult to make it through that last little bit of winter, […]

Yoga for the Earth Element

Published by on March 7, 2010 | 1 Response

The following is a slightly-modified article I wrote for presentation to my Elements Study Group this past weekend. We’ve been exploring the Earth element, and to me the body-mind connection of yoga fit in well. I presented the article, then led them through a half-hour of gentle yoga. Most everyone seemed to enjoy it. Yoga, […]

Social Butterflies

Published by on March 2, 2010 | 1 Response

On one of the homeschooling e-mail lists I read, this one based in my local community, a parent whose family is new to homeschooling was asking about “the big S” – socialization. It’s well known among homeschoolers that this is the most common concern that non-homeschoolers have about your kids’ well-being: “How will they get […]

Typical Dinner Conversation

Published by on February 26, 2010 | Leave a response

Dryst: “Do you think the gods pee?” A moment of quiet as family members ponder the question. Mom: “What do *you* think?” Dryst: “I think they don’t *have* to pee, but they probably want to sometimes.”

Competition Addiction

Published by on February 20, 2010 | Leave a response

First the Superbowl, and then the Olympic games, got me thinking again about competition. Games, to my mind at least, are all about having fun. It doesn’t matter whether you’re viewing a big national or international match, playing video games, watching your kid’s sports team, or playing a board game – it seems to me […]

Explore, Teach, Volunteer

Published by on February 13, 2010 | 1 Response

There hasn’t been as much blogging this week, as I’ve been busy, well, doing stuff. So I thought, as promised in my post about this year’s goals, that I’d give you an update. In particular, lately I’ve been combining my goals regarding exploring spirituality and giving back. I really enjoy volunteering in the Pagan community. […]

Let’s Build It

Published by on February 9, 2010 | Leave a response

“The theory is simple. What we create with our thoughts is what we can expect. If we focus on disaster, this increases that possibility. If, on the other hand, we focus on positive matters, we have a chance to build a better world.” – Shirley Andrews
