I am going to start this post by saying that I am about to reveal something about myself that very, very few people know. There are several reasons for this “shame” around this part of my life, but here it is. While I have never really found traditional tarot useful for me, I do practiceContinue reading “Letting Go, by embracing change”

I have a problem. I love to buy books that attract me for some reason, and I get really down on myself if I can’t bring myself to finish reading them. This is especially true of the self-help genre. Several months ago (pre-COVID), I purchased a book called “Find your F*ck Yeah: Stop censoring whoContinue reading “Letting Go of the need to complete”

Building a fire is always fun for me. I love finding the wood, and setting it up in a teepee. I like striking the match. It always seems to give me a little thrill. Tonight, I have decided, that it is a good time to let go of some of things that I have heldContinue reading “Letting Go…Part 2”

Ah…the joys of discovering my own judgmental voice. Okay, I haven’t really discovered it, it is pretty much always present and I have gotten better about ignoring it, but sometimes it is hard to let go of that judgment I have carried for a long time…especially when it is directed at me.

It won’t be easy, and while I am ready to deal with the hard, I need to go at my own pace, while doing some of theContinue reading “Today is about something I gave up…and shouldn’t have”

I have a wonderful family. I had a good childhood. I am not complaining or blaming others for how my life turned out, but we all carry trauma. Those experiences that bring with it pain. One of my mentors defines trauma as, “any overwhelming emotion felt in isolation.” For me this is beautiful because itContinue reading “We all carry trauma…right?”

Last week, I started to feel really down. I needed a break. A break from work, a break from life, a break from reality. I went to the e-library and checked out a book. It was the first in a series, and it had been there for a while, so I figured it was noContinue reading “That pesky feeling of being someone other than me…”

I am starting to experience spring. Flowers are blooming, trees are budding, life is continuing. Spring brings with it the “dream flowers.” Every time I look out at my yard when the dandelions have gone to seed, I think of the dream flowers, you make a wish and blow the seeds. Now, in this timeContinue reading “In the light of this new world”
