This will be my last entry for Summer 2020. That’s good, I’m ready for Fall. Last night, or maybe it was early this morning, I had the first dream of my father since he died just over a month ago. It wasn’t as if he only made an appearance in the dream either. He was… Continue reading Dream Notes
Storm clouds are rolling in. My friend in Sparta posted that the rain blessed them half an hour ago, it will be here soon. I brought my son, my dog, and my laptop outside to enjoy the pre storm winds. This afternoon I oiled a leather briefcase I kept from my father’s things. It’s black… Continue reading Winds Day
I want to get back inside my body. Like most people today, I am usually looking at my phone, a TV, book, my computer. Even in the moments when I’m not, my mind is likely projecting into the future, planning my to-do list for the next day or making note of upcoming meetings or birthdays… Continue reading Returning Home To My Body
We like to have our family over each year on Labor Day for one last summer gathering. This year I want it to be extra special. Labor Day is a holiday meant to acknowledge the social and economic achievements of American workers after all, and I’d say most folks have had it rough since March.… Continue reading Brainstorming Labor Day
Like a lot of families, our weekdays and weekends haven’t been much different from one another since Covid-19 changed daily life in March. Dinners out, gatherings with friends, movie nights and other fun weekend activities have pretty much ceased for the time being and we have all gotten comfortable entertaining ourselves at home. I’m glad… Continue reading Friday Night Family Fun
I indulged in a fancy facial milk cleanser a few weeks ago. It’s the Evan Healey brand if you’ve heard of it. I have never spent $36.00 on a face cleanser so I had very high expectations. I should have read the ingredients label closer. I purposely paid a few extra dollars for the rose… Continue reading Things I’m Loving Now And Other Random Thoughts
I was a child in the 80’s and a teen in the 90’s. Back then almost all kids spent most of the time outside. Being in school was torture and harsh weather that kept us indoors was the worst. Even when I was a teenager hanging out with skater boys we were usually found outside… Continue reading The World Outside
I came to a paragraph in the book I am reading that really summed it up for me. “Rather than the lower magic and witchcraft of using spells and intentions solely to bring about desires of the personality, such as wealth or love – without devotion or spiritual wisdom and without consulting the greater flows… Continue reading On Being A Witch And Suggested Reading
Back in the early 2000’s my boyfriend at the time (Hi, Mike!) and I rented a little white house on Highgrove Street in an area of the Kansas City metro called Grandview, MO. If you’re familiar with Kansas City you might think of Grandview as simply a truck stop town on the outskirts of the… Continue reading The Rainbow on Highgrove
This is the time of year I start to button up the house and get ready for the holiday season. The plants are dying back and need to be cleaned up. I’ll have to figure out where to put the herbs I’m bringing in to winter over. Hedges need to be trimmed back short, windows… Continue reading Button Up The House
