Thematic (vs Traumatic) Years
Have you ever noticed that certain themes emerge in your life each year? For me personally, these themes work themselves out in a 2-year cycle with a new primary year starting around my birthday every year. The first year is usually a reordering of a particular area of my life and the second year is…

A Meditation First for Me
For quite some time now, I’ve started my meditations in my Enchanted Forest. I’ve met lovers there and friends, had men drink from my hands and lips and hug me for dear life from on their knees. I’ve pulled them out of dark prisons, drifted on quiet lakes, let them sleep in my arms, climbed…

Attracting a Relationship with a Specific Person
Is it unethical to ask for a specific relationship with a specific person? Some say yes, but when the heart is involved and you love the person whom you want a specific type of relationship with, you don’t want to settle for less. You may be willing to have the same kind of relationship with…

Compassion Is Not Weakness
Something startling happened in a couple of new relationships that were shaping up to be quite beautiful. I didn’t understand and for several days, I’ve asked for understanding. There were echoes of similar relationships that ended suddenly, without an explanation at the time or an explanation that came later that I didn’t understand. Until now.…

Saturdays Are Made for Cheating
On this new eating style of mine, the rule is, I get to cheat once a week. I suppose that’s a bit bizarre but there are two reasons for it: 1. I would rebel too much against a diet that said NO MORE OF THE food ever again. Psychologically, that would be difficult for me.…

Maggie Shayne’s House Fire
Energy, love, and comfort go out to Maggie Shayne, who lost her home and doggies to a fire Thursday night. Maggie has always been a treasure to us, both at Spilled Candy and personally. We love you, Maggie! From the Bookshelf Rite of Reckoning — a Southern witch returns home to secrets that won’t stay…

The Dharma of Money: How to Attract Debt Instead of Prosperity
When a well-known financial guru discussed the “dharma of money” recently, I was surprised. This person didn’t strike me as particularly spiritual or metaphysical of mind, and what was described was actually the Law of Attraction in action at its finest. This guru explained that the flow of money is important and that if you…

Time-Lining Intentions
I’m combining long-term intentions with daily intentions in two rather effective ways. First, I hold my “morning strategy sessions with the Universe” at usually about 5:30 AM when I’m on my way to work. I have time alone to decide how I want my day to go, what I want to accomplish, what I like…

A Small Eclipse Ritual: Under a Blood Red Moon
The lunar eclipse of 20 February 2008 was quite pretty in the here-and-there moments that the cloud-cast sky allowed a peek. I love it when I can curl up in a blanket in the back yard hammock and watch an eclipse with one of the kids with me, but the best seat in the house…

Do Something New: An Unexpected Weekend among the Trees
Remember my vow to “do something new today”? I’m not able to do something new every day, of course, or even to find the time to figure out something new to do, but I have been leaving myself open to new adventures whenever they might crop up. I did this on my last trip to…

Poisoning Myself: The Bad, The Ugly, and The Unheard Good of Spilled Candy’s MySpace Drama
When I’d finished explaining the trauma of being the sudden focus of thousands of people calling me a thief and a scammer, the gifted intuitive on the other side of the table suggested I wasn’t telling her quite everything about why I’d made some particular business decisions to temporarily downsize my little publishing company a…
