Womongathering I’m Coming to Find Myself

With Miss Artistic’s latest crisis Lady Rose & I had to talk seriously about whether or not to still go to Womongathering.  The long and short of it is that we are.  I have my hesitations because of not having much in the way of cell phone access once there.  I have my worries over [...]

Save Our Honeybees - Imagine a World Without Them

Almost a year ago I wrote about our need as a society to Save the Bees. Unfortunately things are not any better for our fuzzy black and gold friends. One of my daily blogreads, Blogickal, turned me onto a site Help the Honey Bees by Haagen-Daas which educates about their plight and allows you to “make [...]

Not Quite an Emergency, But …

It seems that somehow we are back at square one with my eldest daughter and the depression issues she has been coping with.  So yes that means we are firmly planted back in crisis mode.  Again, I do not want to go into detail because, frankly, I want her to maintain her privacy.
What I can [...]

Pagan Video Tuesday - Starhawk - Place of Power

 
Starhawk is one of the first authors on Wicca that I ever read. I love her classic text, The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Goddess, as well as her works of fiction, The Fifth Sacred Thing and Walking to Mercury.
While I myself am not much of an activist (short of [...]

Blogging My Blessings - Gratitude on Mother’s Day

Oh Goddess Mother,
You are the mystery of Night,
Your radiant shine is the Day,
Infinite realms cascade within You,
Abundance is Your essence of Being,
Blessings flow from You Limitlessly,
Your Universe is harmony and tension in Balance,
Within each of us, You are Alive.

Today I grateful for no more or less than the gift of being [...]

New Hope Day Trip Photo Recap

If you recall on Sunday I wrote about our trip to New Hope in a post titled “Who Would Throw Away a Perfectly Good Squirrel”.  It took GamerDude a couple of days to download the photos from the camera and then another couple of days for me to get on his machine, as opposed to [...]

Pagan Music Friday - Your Future is Unwritten - Today Begins a New Life

I know that I’m “cheating” again with this blog feature by highlighting a mainstream song instead of a Pagan tune. However lately it has become one of my favorite songs because of its messages:

to embrace moments of beauty
to use each day as a fresh start
to believe in the potential of your own life

It is a great uplifting song [...]

Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow - Part 2

Just this morning on my twitter account I was lamenting that I needed a day off.  I was only about 45 minutes into my work day when I received a call telling me that Miss Artistic (the Elder child) had thrown up on a table and needed to be picked up from school.  Since GamerDude [...]

Yesterday Today and Tomorrow - Sick Hubby & Family Life

Well GamerDude is sick, officially and beyond any doubt.  It is either some kind of virus or (as is my own guess) an upper respiratory infection.  I’m betting on the later myself.
It all started Tuesday night when my normal frequent throughout the night wakings were even more frequent and accompanied by either the sensation of [...]

Saving Money With Online Coupons

I am not always as frugal as I should be, I admit it.  But when I do shop I nearly always avoid paying full price and I have passed this mind-set onto my kids.  They are both of the opinion that given a $25 budget for new shoes they would much rather buy shoes at [...]
