I was talking to someone recently about my old friend depression, and was reminded of this post. Funny thing - when I went looking for it, I realized I'd written it at the end of February 2011. Something about this time of year... While I'm happy to say I'm feeling tons better these days, my... Continue Reading →
Revisiting Monday Love – an anecdote, a graphic, and a quote
I originally wrote this post on February 16th, 2015. Since today is President's Day again, and we just had a Nor'easter and Valentine's Day last week, I thought it would be fun revisiting Monday Love. *grin* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This past Friday the 13th, which also happened to be the day before yet another Nor'easter, I prepared...

Joining the fun with the Get To Know Me Tag
I've seen the Get to Know Me tag a number of places, and always planned to jump in eventually. Then when I saw it again on Ritu's blog, at about the same time Suzie Speaks re-shared a post called, How to Create a Successful About Page, I figured it was high time I did both.... Continue Reading →

After watching the Patriots Superbowl LI Win, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the wicked awesomeness of it all.

MM – The Energy Secret by Jane Alexander
Back in 2015, I did a short Witchy Wednesday post about The Energy Secret by Jane Alexander (not the actress - the UK journalist and author of over 20 books about integrated health, natural well-being and spirituality). The graphic popped up in my Facebook memories today, and I thought it was high time to share... Continue Reading →
MicroblogMonday – I am a Child of the Moon by Zara Ventris
I honestly have no idea if the name of this poem is, I am a Child of the Moon. In fact, when I tried to research who Zara Ventris is, my beloved Google failed me. All I was able to ascertain is almost three years ago, this and a dozen other pieces appeared on an... Continue Reading →
MM – Revisiting Buttprints in the sand
I found this post from January 15th, 2016, and felt like revisiting Buttprints in the sand today. *grin* It's been a hell of a week. I swear, it's like George R. R. Martin and Joss Whedon decided to write the script for this first month of the new year (and I sure hope they replace... Continue Reading →
Microblog Monday – International Delurking Week 2017
Thanks to a couple of wonderful bloggers (looking at you, Em and Mel), I was reminded of International Delurking Week. While it technically happens the first week in January, I'm giving it a go this week. In fact, for each of my four posts (Musing/Microblog Monday, Tarot Tuesday, Witchy Wednesday, and Foto Friday) I'll start... Continue Reading →
MM – New Year New Moon
Early last night, as I took our cat Sid outside (on leash) for his evening constitutional, I noticed the gorgeous crescent moon just over the tree tops. Here are a few of the shots I snapped of the new year's new moon. (Yes, I know it was new on the 29th, but it's still a... Continue Reading →
MM – Making mistakes 2016
For the last Monday post of 2015, I did a graphic with a Neil Gaiman quote. Since the photo was taken with my old camera, I decided to do an updated version for this final #MicroblogMonday post of 2016. Here's to hoping we all make some glorious mistakes in the coming year. "Not sure what... Continue Reading →
MM – Day of the Moon
Since the name Monday came from the word Monenday, which translates to Day of the Moon, I figured it was a good excuse to share a bunch of moon snaps here, instead of on my most recent Foto Friday. Come to think of it, I've used that excuse once or twice before. *grin* These were... Continue Reading →
MM – December 4th was National Cookie Day
Drat! I totally forgot this year that December 4th was National Cookie Day! However, I plan to belatedly celebrate by making a batch or three of my holiday necessities (the family would rebel if I didn't) - Thumbprint cookies with buttercream frosting. I shared the recipe on National Cookie Day last year (click HERE to... Continue Reading →
