Today is my father’s birthday. It is hard to believe four months have passed since he died. I woke up to a world covered in a dense, beautiful fog. A gift from him, maybe? Two nights ago I dreamt that I was sitting at a table with my group of girlfriends. A voicemail came through… Continue reading November Reflections
I’ve been thinking about how I want to present myself online a lot lately. Here on the blog and on Instagram. I’ve had my Instagram profile set to private for months now and I’m planning to delete Facebook altogether because I never use it and it feels like a virtual dead limb. I have called… Continue reading What’s in a Name?
My forty first birthday is this Friday. I can’t even fathom how that’s possible. Time is so bizarre as we understand it and the older I get the less and less it matters to me in any respect. The only thing I really think about when it comes to time or age is how I… Continue reading Almost 41
I don’t believe in coincidences. I think things, experiences, and situations are always presented to us for a reason. It is my inner standing that we decide what we need and want to experience before we come to this earthly realm. Today, as Fox and I drove to the herb shop on the other side… Continue reading No Coincidences
Our Halloween/October birthday’s party this weekend was a lot of fun. The Pumpkin Cheeseball and Sun Butter Candies I made were a hit and the wild windy weather was beautiful! Muppet graduated from his first dog obedience training class. The instructors set up an obstacle course and I thought Muppet was the best in class!… Continue reading Weekend Recap
I’m finally sitting down to relax and make a new note. After homeschool this morning and deep cleaning the kitchen I feel like enough has been done for the day. I just reviewed the ingredient list for the party food this weekend and wrote out a to-do list for tomorrow. The rest of the day… Continue reading Muddled Thoughts
The wind is powerful today, and it would be perfect for throwing open all of the windows were it not for the insane loudness of the trees being trimmed and thrown into a wood chipper right across the street. Add that to the many reasons I want to buy a house on a property with… Continue reading Country Dreaming
We can always get in touch with our ancestors who have crossed over. No season, date, or year is the wrong time. The spirit realm is available to us always. But there is much truth to the belief that the dark half of the year, particularly between October 30th and November 2nd, is the time… Continue reading A Thinning Veil
The Halloween folder in my saved posts on Instagram is bursting with ideas for freaky finger foods. This week I’m deciding what I’ll make for our annual October birthdays/Halloween party. I’m using the word party loosely since the group will be much smaller this year, for multiple reasons. Instead of being disappointed that only a… Continue reading Party Planning
Fox had soccer practice this morning and it was fifty two degrees out. It was fun putting on my lightweight jacket and softest scarf for the first time this season. The tree leaves are turning now and more and more Halloween decorations are popping up on porches. The Ozarks really shine this time of year.… Continue reading Planning and Studying
