One of the quickest ways to lift a bad or negative mood is with music, but what happens if we expand on a mood-lifting song? What happens if your music is uplifting for, say, 2 weeks or a month?
By uplifting, I don’t mean “praise music” [...]

I’ve been divorced long enough that few people tell me what to do anymore, or how to do it, or –heaven forbid—how to play the game. Maybe they grew tired of it. Or maybe it was the less willing ear I give them now, accompanied by plenty [...]

Bullies are everywhere at my office right now. Bullies and manipulators. Mean people.
I’m not sure what’s caused this. Maybe it’s the stress of an upcoming inspection. I hate these IG inspections because they tend to be made into something more important than any [...]

I haven’t thought of that boy in years.
I knew him in college, considered him a friend. I never had any romantic inclinations toward him, but I was vaguely aware that he certainly had them for me. I was either mostly oblivious or ignored [...]
Formerly my official photo. Bold power suit, conservative pearl earrings, and…an asymmetrical haircut in case no one knew I was a closet rebel.
It took a long time to make peace with my job after I started hating it. Hating it didn’t happen overnight, and getting back to a place where I was comfortable with [...]

Growing up, I spent a lot of time roaming the countryside around my home. Back then, there were many trees in the fields–now taken by lightning–and many old barns around the farm–now taken by storms and rot. The land itself has always been peaceful to me, and in my dreams and meditations, this is my [...]

Observations….
- Not all sex toys are dishwasher safe.
- Thanks to the girls’ not keeping the puppy out of the laundry room, all my panties are now crotchless.
- Statistically speaking, [...]

“I smell Granddaddy!”
She was visibly upset. She’d walked into a room in the house where I grew up, presumably after Grandma’s brownies or see where my mom was, and she’d smelled my dad’s scent heavy in the air. It’s been [...]

(Article originally published in 2007)
My spirit guides don’t want me to be sad about my closed heart.
I go into a meditation—what else can I do when I feel this sick?—to ease my aches and the colors comes vividly. Oddbally juxtapositions that make me smile.
They show [...]

My intuition is strong this week, I suppose. At least, it was while I was at the farm….
I’m barefoot in waist-high grass so thick I can’t see the ground. I can barely walk in it, let alone run. It’s like swimming [...]

Astrology is my hobby, and I love learning new things. I’m a big fan of asteroids and now, thanks to astrologer Eileen Nauman’s articles on the Trans-Neptune Planets, aka the Uranians, I’ve been playing around with my chart and the charts [...]

“Mercury’s in retrograde!” To most of my astrology-loving friends, those two words are worth at least a groan or two. It’s the herald of a three-week span of mis-communications, car trouble, computer [...]

When I attended my very first live Abraham-Hicks workshop, two women seated near me asked if I’d bought the Telling a New Story! DVD yet. I wasn’t even aware until then that there were DVD’s. I’d been exposed [...]

Self-Portrait, April 2010
I will believe in honor.
I will not become jaded.
I will not lose my compassion.
I will not be a victim.
I will conduct my relationships with integrity.
I will love myself enough to demand accountability from those who do not behave honorably toward me.
I can look myself in the mirror and not flinch.
Sometimes people disappoint [...]

For much of my life, I have felt guilty.
Whether I’d done anything or not.
Whether I’d done something–like stop harm to someone else–or not.
I carried the weight of my actions and everyone else’s. I would be responsible for other’s actions if they didn’t take responsibility. That was me–Miss [...]
