It is raining today, and not the warm summer-kind-of-rain, although it’s not really cold, either. But it’s one of those rains that foretells of sweaters and fire sides and wool socks and hearty soups. The cats are a tad annoyed. They wanted to go prowling today. I’m sure they will have their opportunities during Indian … Continue reading Bringing It Home
…and here comes August, the domain of Leo. If you enjoy riding the Celtic Wheel around the year, it’s the time for the first harvest festival, Lughnasdh or Lammas. And it looks like it’s going to be a wonderful harvest season. There’s an apple tree close to our home that is so laden with apples, … Continue reading And there goes July…
It’s been a week, peeps, culminating with Mr. Al and myself selling our wares at a local fundraiser called Art in Bloom. It was a beautiful day. Met lots of the locals who were also vendors. Really lovely people, here, in this small town. Met some fellow artisans. Bought some cool things. Oh…did we sell … Continue reading Chillin’
We have no idea, really, how many lives we touch just by being who we are as we go about our day. And I suppose we’ve got a choice. We can be a “misery loves company” type of peep, or we can be a “share the joy” type of peep. It’s something to ponder. Can … Continue reading And so it goes…

March 1st I began my Color of Woman teaching adventure. Lots of thought provoking activities as I learn to dig deep into my psyche and paint from there, in order to show others how to do the same. How do you know yourself when yourself is constantly expanding and growing? Where’s the center of the compass? … Continue reading And Are You Still Writing?
The Fearsome Goddess “Grandmother, who is the Fearsome Goddess and when is she coming?” the boy asked. He and his sister were curled up against their grandmother in front of a roaring fire, heads pillowed on her ample bosom. The old woman had one arm around each child. It was deep winter, the time of … Continue reading A Story for You
It’s rainy. It’s January. We all want to go outside. Individually and collectively, Mr. Al and I’ve been going through old pictures, pictures of sunny (and not so sunny) adventures over the past few years–the places we’ve been to the adventures we’ve experienced. It’s sure been fun. All that reminiscing? Brought out the wandering star … Continue reading Putting the Travel in Travelogue
I was thinking this morning about how resistant to change humans are, yet how adaptable they are as well. And change is the only way, as a species, we can evolve and survive. Why are we so resistant?
