A Seasonal Review: What Were the Most Satisfying Moments of Autumn 2010?
Back on the 24th of August, I emulated my dear friend Maggie Shayne and posted a seasonal review of the summer–not any of the hardships or turbulence but the most satisfying moments of the summer. Now that Autumn has passed and the frigid Florida weather has arrived (yes, it’s dipped several times into the low…

A Seasonal Review: What Were the Most Satisfying Moments of Summer 2010?
I’m taking my cue from friend Maggie Shayne and doing a “seasonal review.” As this long, hot summer of 2010 fades away—the first hints of Autumn cool are on the horizon—I don’t want to remember the passing season as the one that was blemished by the BP Oil Spill here on the Gulf or by…

Manifestation Junkie: An Intentional Weekend at the RWA Conference in Orlando
I love being able to set my intentions and watch things unfold. I’ve gotten quite good at it, and the only thing I love more is setting intentions with my daughters and seeing them come to fruition. I guess I’m something of a manifestation junkie when it comes to that. This past weekend was one…

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
When Maggie Shayne asked in her weekly blog, “What will you be when you grow up?” I laughed at her answers, partly because we have a lot of similarities. Maybe that’s why we’ve always gotten along so well, though. Many people who know me only as a writer ask, as with Maggie, “If you couldn’t…

Today’s National Lorna Tedder Appreciation Day!
It’s my birthday and what am I thinking about? Bella. Bella from Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series that began with Twilight, a title which is still bizarre to me since Maggie Shayne wrote a few dozen vampire novels with twilight in the title and with a very strong following for her books well in advance of…

Starting a Spiritual Group and Getting the Energy Just Right
Jasmine incense, right after one of my famous Sunday Night Gatherings. This smoke art is copyrighted by Aislinn Bailey, used with permission. When I was first looking for a like-minded spiritual group in Northwest Florida, I found several existing circles rather easily. These were people who were either pagan or pagan-friendly, with anything from a…

It’s a GOOD DAY Today
First, I found out that a special baby in my life has been accepted by the Shriners who’ll take care of her exceptionally rare condition, all expenses paid. It’ll be a long haul but she’s very much loved and the Universe is taking care of her. Second, I have a terrific friend in Luna, who…

Indigo Children, Unusual Sensitivities, & Living the Paranormal Life
Indigo #2, the Magical ChildGhosts in the lights? Sensitive to WiFi waves? Hearing voices? ADHD? Depression? Autism? Or just plain old prophetic living in the End Times? Over the past four years, I’ve noticed how many of my daughters’ generation–kids born in the late 80’s/early 90’s–have been much more sensitive than my generation, in general.…

I Curse Your Name: the Blackest of Magicks
I have a house full of company this summer, but it’s oh-so-pleasant and has settled into a nice pattern of incense wafting upward from the countertop, couscous on the stove, wine in my glass, Brian playing the piano or guitar, Amy singing, Robert drumming on the table over sushi, Aislinn fetching strawberry-chocolate shakes, Shannon playing…

Back from Beltane 2008: FPG Festival Summary
*Photo of Lorna and Aislinn hamming it up in the cabin–the poster behind says, “Helpful or Harmful? Know the Difference!” (talking about bugs, not brunettes)* We’re back from the Florida Pagan Gathering’s Beltane 2008, and it was a blast! Kudos to the coordinators and staff of this festival–these folks really know how to put together…

Come, Fire Drink with Me, Baby!
A few weeks ago, I felt pressed to ask Kelley Harrell, Gift of the Dreamtime, to make a shamanic journey for me. I had some healing issues that needed to be addressed in a different sort of way. I was intrigued with the report she made back to me, and I’m still digesting the meaning…
