  • Here’s to a No-Drama Holiday!

    Here’s to a No-Drama Holiday!

    I come  from  a  huge,  extended  family  that  covers about a fourth of the State of Georgia, including cousins not seen in years and other cousins not claimed in much longer than that. And plenty enough of the  latter are in jail or dancing on table-tops or mowing the lawn in their bikinis and Daisy-Duke …

  • Synchronicity

    Synchronicity

    We’ve  been  keeping  a  list  this  week  of  all  the good things and unusual little things that are happening. Sometimes, it’s amusing,  but  sometimes  it’s just downright hilarious. Shannon has decided she wants an SLR camera for Christmas. She knows it’s expensive, but that’s what she really wants. She’s been asking family members  to forgo…

  • Transition

    Transition

    Lance, one of the captains I work with who’s just returned from months in the desert, dropped by my office to say hello and Happy Thanksgiving, and we ended up in a riotous conversation about his feelings  about his wife, his kids, and childbirth. We both relived a few moments of  our  children’s  entrance  into …

  • Changing What  I Want  and  Thankful  to Do So

    Changing What I Want and Thankful to Do So

    With this year’s  Thanksgiving,  I’m changing  what  I want, but I’m thankful that the time in between has given me a chance to know better  what I want for the longterm. Not that that’s been easy, but over the past couple of years, I have in fact gotten exactly what I asked for on many…

  • A Happy  Medium  Is a Good Thing!

    A Happy Medium Is a Good Thing!

    The past few days have been really amazing. Without a doubt  (mine,  naturally), surrounding myself with positive people, positive mindsets, and positive actions is the key to manifesting what I want. For all the magick I have ever done, the power of doing it in a positive  environment cannot be underestimated. Some things seem to…

  • De-Stressing the  Holidays

    De-Stressing the Holidays

    This holiday season is going to be wonderful,  and I refuse to be stressed. To a large degree, that means doing things a very different way from what most people would expect. But if it works for me and for my kids, I don’t really care what others think. At a Thanksgiving  luncheon this week,…

  • Ain’t Hidin’ No More

    Ain’t Hidin’ No More

    As my daughter reminded me a couple of years ago, when I picked her up from school and was playing some NIN at a piercing  you’ll-be-deaf-at-my-age decibel level, that  modern  cars  aren’t soundproof.  Yeah,  and  that’s when I drove a Mercedes. Then again, in spite of the TV commercials, I don’t think cars ever were…

  • Calling in the  Extraordinary

    Calling in the Extraordinary

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in My mentor likes to ask if I’ve accomplished  certain goals and visions, and then how I feel about them. I had told her a couple of  months ago that I was always too busy to socialize yet I wanted to meet new friends. With a huge caveat. New…

  • Productivity Push

    Productivity Push

    Tonight, a Dark Moon night, I realized how much has opened  up in the past month, and in the past two months, and certainly within the last three months, and— oh Gods—how  much has changed  in the  past six and wondering if I’ll see as much change in the next six. The past  week has…

  • Are You Suffering?

    Are You Suffering?

    July 8, 1995 at 8:50 AM was a pivotal moment in my history. One I thought I would never recover from. One I rarely think of anymore. In the years since, I’ve sometimes  had to explain in great  depth  in  interviews  with  very  non-understanding people why I confessed, as required by my signature certifying my…

  • Are Crystals  Interdimensional? How About Socks?

    Are Crystals Interdimensional? How About Socks?

    One of my missing Lemurian  crystal obelisks has returned. Well, sort of. Right now, it seems to be playing hide and seek with me. And my huge amber “teardrop” is still missing and what’s a witch with her jet and not her amber? I I’d blame the missing crystal and amber on a messy house…

  • Kicking It Up a Notch

    Kicking It Up a Notch

    I am kicking life into a higher vibe. Funny how that Tower Card from earlier this week helped to do that. My focus has never been clearer than it is right now, and I’m exactly sure of what I want in life and what I want out of life. My dad’s in the hospital again,…
