Back in December, when I first started to really get Steemin' along, I decided to share a series of posts I'd written for my WordPress blog (much to the delight of Steemit's cuddly kitty bot), detailing my breast cancer scare saga that began in July 2017. I then posted a breakdown of my body’s breakdown,... Continue Reading →
Actually, to be more precise, I love new beginnings. If I had to create a Facebook status for my relationship with New Years, it would be, "It's complicated." I touched upon the reason in an old post, so in the spirit (that permeates this time of year) of leaving the past behind, I won't rehash... Continue Reading →
I know everyone has strong feelings about things we should do to make our planet better. Reusable shopping bags instead of plastic, eating vegan, banishing GMOs, volunteering, protesting animal abuse, donating blood, donating time, donating money - after a while, the list becomes overwhelming (at least to me), and I end up not doing anything...

I credit my father for my ability to code. Granted, I’m no wizard at it, but I have enough knowledge to get by, thanks to being introduced to MBasic back in the day by Dad, who figured out how create programs and databases and encouraged me to do the same. No big surprise that when... Continue Reading →
I ordinarily don't make the distinction of "secular" when wishing all a Happy New Year, but given that this is a WW (Witchy Wednesday) post, and the Wiccan New Year is Samhain (Halloween), I figured it made sense to say, Happy Secular New Year. Since hubby and I have been together, one thing we've done... Continue Reading →
I have a major case of mixed emotions. December and the accompanying holiday season has been a time of joy and sadness for me since 2001. That year, within a two week span, I lost my maternal grandmother and my father. Some years it hits me hard, and it's a struggle to maintain a cheerful... Continue Reading →
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm making a concerted effort to take care of those projects I've been meaning to get around to. One of those projects is to turn the four or five plastic storage boxes of family photos into an online collection. To that end, hubby set me up with an external hard... Continue Reading →
My grand plan to create a unique spider ornament this year was dashed by a houseful of sick people. Thankfully, it could have been much worse, and at the moment, I'm the only one still hit fairly hard - the eldest is a bit better, and everyone else is well (fingers crossed they stay that...

This brief Misery Monday blurb brought to you by DayQuil, Kleenex, Tums, Ritz Crackers, and Halls cough drops (gee, maybe I should get one of them to sponsor my blog). If you hadn't guessed, Santa brought germs as an extra early gift for our household. Still, it could be much worse, so my whiny blog... Continue Reading →
Even though the kidlets are past their toddler years, I still enjoy following The Pooka Pages for Pagan Kids. A day or so ago, I saw the following spider story posted on their Facebook page - I really liked the concept, and decided to research it a bit more. Turns out the origins are a... Continue Reading →
No, not in the Wicked Witch kind of way, regardless of the WW in my post title (in this case, it means Witchy Wednesday). I'm talking about neglecting Sabbats and Esbats, forgetting full moons and new moons, and disregarding deities and demigods in my everyday life. I wasn't always such a bad witch. In fact,...

Happy Turkey Birthday, Mom! Our Nor'easter delayed Thanksgiving feast is close to being done, and the house smells amazing. Today also happens to be my mother's birthday - we brought her up from Massachusetts this past Tuesday for a combined Thanksgiving and birthday visit, never imagining both celebrations would end up being the same day....
