The Middle Age, at Last, and How I Knew
When I took a look at Aislinn’s 14th birthday pictures, taken at my mom’s kitchen table, I understood at last that I am now in the Middle Age. It’s not a year or span of years or any way society or a medical record might define it. It’s my own definition. From the Bookshelf Unapologetically…

I’m a Casualty of the “War on Christmas”
You know what? I don’t really care if you wish me a “Merry Christmas,” a “Blessed Solstice,” or “Happy Holidays.” I don’t. But just wish it for me and don’t demand it of me. Such a wish, in my opinion, should be meant as a lovely personal blessing, not a political grenade. I’m doing pretty…

Treats from The Treat
Ye Gods, but that man is hot! He just wanted to remind me of that amid a very difficult week when raw sexuality has been the last thing on my mind. I guess he knew it would make me smile. Last night, in a meditative dream, The Treat was front and center again. He’s been…

Invitation: Where Delight Takes Flight
In a deep meditation, I ask for a glimpse of the future and what it can be, should I choose to invite it in. What I see is a world where my delight takes flight, a sense of lifting up and loving deeply. I see ways of being that I’m not used to, and finding…

Strippers: How Bizarre, How Bizarre!
I heard a song today that made me realize I’ve known quite a few strippers over the past couple of years, and hey, ones I wasn’t even related to! No, not currently “working” strippers and “exotic dancers” but rather, both men and women who once were. It seems that by the time a person reaches…

Conversation Starter? Or Ender?
In the What’s-with-People-these-Days department, I’ve noted a lot of my online friends enduring some rather invasive comments and actions from friends, coworkers, and rank strangers recently, leading many to wonder just how much of our current population was born in the proverbial barn. Such nosy questions always lead me to wonder what that…

Wands and Pentacles, Business and Money
My guides weren’t kidding about this month being all about business and money! In my monthly reading, I had wands and pentacles all over the place. I’m used to the past six months being about business and spirituality (a bazillion wands) but not so much on the money…

Men, Women, and Friendships
Jillian frequently sends me emails that make me laugh. Out of the blue and hysterical. Like the funeral of the guy who wrote the “Hokey Pokey” and the problems that began when they put his left leg into the casket. And then other emails are serious and right on target. She forwarded a study to…

Religious Bigots, Hypocrites, and Wiccans Disguised as Good Christians
Grrrr. I’m still highly offended. Out of deference to my children—and the several times this has happened—I’ll keep it vague, but I am righteously pissed off. Not that you read my journal. That would require you to actually explore my beliefs rather than violating your own holy book by judging me outright. And where’s the…

Baffled
Some men don’t appreciate my sense of humor. “Hey, gorgeous, I’m looking for some fun. Can you help me out?” “Sure. Twenty feet to the west, and take a quick right.” Hmmm, and they say men never ask for directions….

Women Who Get What They Want
Sometimes it’s easy to see the Law of Attraction at work, especially when certain women get what they want. You can see them living the life, even before it manifests in the physical, and you can see how they draw it to them. Occasionally at my day job, I run into the ex-husband of a…

Who Looks at a Woman over 40?
Somebody gave me some bad information about women over 40. A lot of somebodies. Over the years. I don’t blame them. Not really. They believed what they were telling me. Growing up in a tiny Southern town that was timewarped by at least 25 years, I often heard that if you were a woman, you’d…
