Sacred Space Disrupted by Outsiders
Growing up on a Georgia farm, I learned that some land is sacred even to those who never named it so — and that strangers who don’t see that will always find a way to remind you why boundaries matter.

Night Owls: No Apologies (Part 1)
Embrace your nocturnal nature and stop apologizing for being a night owl; your unique rhythm is a gift, not a flaw. There are certain things in life that we shouldn’t have to apologize for, things that are simply part of who we are. For me, being a night owl is one of those things. I…

Trading Credit Cards with Rewards Programs for Cash-Flowing Bills
This post on cash-flowing vs credit cards is post #3 in my series on financial freedom and spirituality. When I decided to pay off the car, then the house, I sat down and came up with a plan…naturally…and found a few chinks in the plan right away. First of all, I didn’t have extra cash…

Sacred Spaces: Stonehenge Herb Garden
I didn’t have much time a few years ago to put together an outdoor herb garden. I was working long hours at my job and a single mom to two teens. I didn’t have time to build an herb garden, dig up a chunk of the back yard, or fight weeds in the plot. So…

Sacred Space: An Outdoor Altar
A simple and discreet outdoor altar To you, it’s a very simple, very discreet outdoor altar and stone circle. To your neighbors, your in-laws, your kids’ friends, and the meter reader, this arrangement looks like a stone bench or possibly a table in your garden, and a circular path.

Ley Lines and Streams of Energy (Part 1)
I have two ley lines in my house, and they are strong streams of energy that are very different. In addition, I have a few “power spots” that feel like pools of energy. The more I learn about these ley lines, the more questions I have, such as: – Do all ley lines move? From…

How to Visit Holy Ground
Whenever I’ve visited a place I consider sacred ground, I must both approach and leave it in a respectful way. Otherwise, I have a hard time absorbing the specialness of it and an even harder time breaking loose from it. I first discovered that I needed a technique for getting the most out of such…

No Wine Before It’s Time
I’m making huge progress tonight on finishing a special project that’s been floating around for over a year now. In fact, it should have been done a year ago, but for some reason, it was delayed. I didn’t understand it then. Why the delay after all that wonderful effort? It was so meant to be!…

Four Minutes to Losing My (Positive) Mind
Did you hear me screaming? Four minutes into a phone conversation with my mother and I was slam-dunked into how things used to be. Daddy must be driving her nuts again, because our conversation was driving me nuts right away. In my last conversation with her, she’d been worried that if my dad knew…

Dangerous Behaviors and Kid Fears
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. “It’s crazy,” Shannon tells me. “All you parents are so scared to death that us teenagers are going to go meet some pervert we meet online, and yet all these moms of teenagers are out there meeting with—and sleeping with—men they’ve met online and know…

Happy Solstice!
What a very interesting Summer Solstice Day it’s been! The bad first, then the good. Lots of wild energies, including another theft from inside my front yard, which explains why Grendel’s been living up to his name recently, oh he of the ferocious barks. I’ve lived in the same house for almost 13 years and …
