Missing my mother

It's Mother's Day, and I am missing my mother. My mother died. Nineteen years ago. Sometimes I am embarrassed by the tears that can suddenly overtake me when I realize that I am still missing her so much. Really? At almost 53 years old? Really. Sometimes the emotion sneaks up on me so fast and … Continue reading Missing my mother

TWC is the Devil

I hate TWC. I am making the equivalent of a car payment to them every month for my "Triple Play" bundle, and you know what I am getting for all that money? Crappy equipment that malfunctions every day and is practically disposable. I am driving to the TWC office at least bimonthly to swap out … Continue reading TWC is the Devil

Disney

I went to Disney once before, in 1989 (or thereabouts). There was one ride I wanted to go on then: Space Mountain. I have no idea why, but I was fixated on it. When we got there, the first thing I did was ask where that ride was and, guess what? Space Mountain was CLOSED. … Continue reading Disney

To boldly go, part two

So a funny thing happened after I decided to go to Disney with  my daughter. You know how they say that the universe starts lining up to help you when you are on the right track? Well, it's TRUE! I saw it happen with my own eyes! First I thought, no way can I make … Continue reading To boldly go, part two

To boldly go, part one

My daughter has been asking to go to Disney since she was about 9 years old. I would always listen to her ask, nod, smile, and say that tried and true line that I'd borrowed from my own mother: "We'll see." I got away with that for, oh, 5 years or so. Five years during … Continue reading To boldly go, part one

Reiki, baby

I have just completed my Reiki II class and I loved it! Chris Ann from Wells was my teacher. Truly, there is nothing like spending a day with like-minded individuals to make the time fly by. At no point did I even feel the urge to see what time it was. I didn't even think … Continue reading Reiki, baby

Meditation 101

I started meditating a few months ago as part of giveit100.com  I put in my 100 days and then guess what! I didn't stop. I kept on going. I meditate every day now (sometimes more than once). I am a meditator. What was different about this time? I got out of my own way. I stopped … Continue reading Meditation 101

Lemons

I got up early on the Sunday of Daylight Savings Time, the way I (almost) always do. Time to make the donuts... No wait! That's not right! Time to feed the chickens....I threw on my coat over my PJ's and bumped into my daughter on the way out. She said she was getting in the … Continue reading Lemons

SoulCollage Intro Class

Last weekend I finally was able to take the SoulCollage Intro Class at Bean Tree Place that I've been wanting to take for over a year. The planets aligned (and my daughter's cheering schedule ended) and it finally happened. It was worth the wait. It was a just-big-enough class of four students plus the facilitator, … Continue reading SoulCollage Intro Class

Presenting Brianna's Bunnies (click on the pictures for some notes about the bunny): FROM THE SELLER: There is also a tenth bunny (not yet named so you can name this one yourself!) for which there is … Continue reading Bunnies for sale!
