  • Shifting, Snapping, Breaking Through

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. Sometime during the night, something…snapped. I’d almost say that something broke, but it felt more like something  broke  through. Something  lifted,  something connected to my full moon work this month. I don’t know if it was blockages I’d been dealing with or something in my…

  • Winter Solstice: Doing the Unstuck

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. It’s the Winter Solstice, which literally translates “sun stoppage.” For most people, they think of this time in relation to birth—the birth of God, of the Year King, of a new year—but for me, it’s often been about the death of something, too. There is…

  • Attachments

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. I keep thinking  of the “attachments” Daddy had to me when I went through the releasing ritual last night. There’s a part of the ritual where you see the energetic cords of  attachment the other person  has to you. You note their texture, width, material,…

  • Release

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. Tonight, I held a private funeral for Daddy. Just me and him. I’m feeling much lighter now, much better. I’ve released most of my anger, if not all, and a lot of the hurt I’ve been carrying. And a lot of tears. I understand things…

  • The Bastard Son

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. It’s not uncommon  for me to feel The Dead when they are nearby. It doesn’t frighten me, no more so than feeling angels nearby. It’s a gift I’ve had for as long as I can remember, but it became especially strong in my teen years.…

  • If I’d Been There….Dirty Secret Time

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. My oldest brother was with Daddy when he had his heart attack. He and my mom. They are both stung with guilt because my dad cried wolf  constantly and faked so many injuries and illnesses that, even when they were taking him to the ER,…

  • Back

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. I’m back. I’ve just crashed, no longer able to keep going. I need to  rest some now, just be by myself a little while tonight and think. Over half  of  December  has  passed,  and  of  the  17 things I asked for this month, at least…

  • Looking for a Positive Future amid a Sad Present

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. My mom had a good day yesterday. I’d been worried about how things would go once the crowds had disappeared and Daddy’s absence  became more pronounced. But she had, in my opinion, a good day.   There were  some  shaky  times.  Like  a  visit  to …

  • Small Towns and the Best They Offer

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Below. I come from a tiny Southern  town known as Donalsonville, Georiga. I’ve always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with it and I finally figured out why. It all comes down to how small towns  view both  diversity,  a thing that intrigues me, and…
