Angel signs

by Karen, posted in Angels, Metaphysical healing, Music

I have been working on an idea for a business this year. It’s had some pretty good momentum and has been chugging along nicely. Until yesterday. Yesterday, I hit a speed bump. A large speed bump. I have been very optimistic and have had a million ideas in support of my project, but then the … Continue reading Angel signs

Following the clues

by Karen, posted in Angels, education, Metaphysical healing

I had a dream two nights ago, the night of the full moon, come to think of it. I dreamed about numbers. So, have you ever dreamed about numbers? This is a new phenomenon for me. The sequence I dreamed came through loud and clear: 1991 I didn't see or hear the numbers so much … Continue reading Following the clues

I am part of a great group of nurses who all work from home. Once a month we (mostly) all get together for breakfast and to celebrate a birthday, if there is one that month. This month we went to Two Hands Crepe and Juice Bar in Brunswick. Okay, it's a hike to Brunswick from … Continue reading Birthday club

We saw the sign last week, inviting us to join them for a concert, and after some maneuvering of the work schedule, join them we did. What a good decision my daughter and I made. The performances were amazing. Men and women of all different ages and backgrounds took turn standing up on the stage … Continue reading We joined them

Simplify: Who, me?

by Karen, posted in education, local fun, the beach, writing

I went to a class at the Wells Public Library this week. Lisa Luken of Simple Joy Living, LLC spoke to us about simplifying our lives by streamlining (as well as getting rid of) our stuff. Her tagline is "Simple. Joyful. Organized. Intentional. Living." Great, right? Who wouldn't want that? I had a ton of ideas fill … Continue reading Simplify: Who, me?

...soon to be published, as Blondie so fabulously put it, one way or another. The most important step, to FINISH it, is done! My next step is to send out a query to an agent. Yep; I'm starting with just one. I’ll go from there. The one I am sending it to is with an … Continue reading My soon to be published book

My family of origin had some family traditions, but they were few. One that has made it to the present is the Italian Rum Cake birthday cake tradition. My brother's birthday and mine are about a month apart. We both love Italian Rum Cakes. My family? His family? Um, not so much. Okay, they hate … Continue reading Italian birthday cake, 2015

I attended a chakra class at the Portsmouth Regional Hospital this weekend. Chakras, as you may know, are energy centers in the body that energy flows through, often described as spinning discs of different colors. Find out more about chakras here: Anodea Judith's Wheels of Life One thing that came up in the class was that taking a … Continue reading Go with the flow

Rocks rock!

by Karen, posted in Crystals, Functional Health, good grief, Metaphysical healing

Confession: I love rocks. I always have. When I was a girl, I collected rocks in shoe boxes which I shoved under my bed. Full disclosure: I also did this with salamanders. 🙂 Recently, I was at a (free!!) Crystals Workshop (at the Portsmouth Regional Hospital! I know!) and I had an epiphany. Crystals are … Continue reading Rocks rock!

The day I ate whatever I wanted

When I read the title of this book by Elizabeth Berg, The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted, I thought, YESSSSS!!!! That's all I want! To eat whatever I want! So in honor of my birthday month, I did that today. Full disclosure: I was using food to comfort myself because I had to work … Continue reading The day I ate whatever I wanted
