How fun! I've been "tagged" by Nancy Lennon of Rainbow Light Angel to play along with "Eleven Questions". The rules of the game are to: post the rules answer the 11 questions the tagger posted for you create 11 questions to ask the people you tag tag 11 people let them know you've tagged them Well, I'm breaking the rules :-) Most of the people I'd be tagging have already been tagged, so I'm not tagging anyone. Here are the ... [Keep Reading]
Don’t you just love when something strikes you so funny that tears roll down your face from laughing so hard? My husband’s sister and I can get laughing over the most bizarre things. Something about it will make one of us laugh, and then the other starts in. And when she laughs hard, all you can hear is air coming out of her (like a Scooby Doo laugh). Well – then I’m goner! That makes me laugh even harder. I’ll be cackling and squealing, ... [Keep Reading]
I just love how little children feel so comfortable with who they are and how they choose to express themselves. I was reminded of this last week. I received a photo from my niece, Caron, of her little one, Grace, wearing the sweater I knitted for her. The next day I received an email from my sister-in-law (Caron's mom and Grace's grandma) sharing with me what happened that day when she was babysitting Grace. Hi Maryellen, I thought ...

I was going through some old files and found something that I had written while taking a writing class back in 2004. At the time I had been concentrating on writing for young adults and wrote this short piece for a class assignment based on a beautiful experience I had one day. I can still remember that day quite vividly. I had been listening to some Josh Groban music outside (in those days it was on a "walkman" :-)) as I needed a break ... [Keep Reading]
Book Review I was invited to review the new book “Help! I’m Sensitive: 50 Tools to Help You Survive and Thrive” by Ronni Ann Hall, and I highly recommend it! Ronni has such an easy way with her writing. It feels like we’ve been invited to take a peek into her personal journal. She gives us insights through her experiences with being sensitive and the tools she has discovered. As a sensitive myself, I know how difficult it ... [Keep Reading]
Leap Day – the Gift of an Extra Day Have you ever had one of those days, or weeks, where you had been making great strides, but suddenly things keep coming up and getting in your way? Ugh – I hate that! This is how it has been for me recently. So, this was how the last day and a half went for me (now, don’t let this suck you down, it gets better :-): Monday night one of my sons announces that he has to make some sort of French ...

Here's a great blog post by Jaden Rose Phoenix of Alchemy Wisdom. I love that she talks about connecting to your passion for life! Lupercalia was the original pagan festival that Valentine’s Day replaced –a festival of the she-wolf. The festival celebrated spring and fertility. Young men would strike women with goat-skin strips to bring fertility and easy birth. While Valentine’s Day is today a much gentler holiday, with kisses instead ... [Keep Reading]
February 2nd was the day of honoring Imbolc/Candelmas and also the Festival of Brigit (who is a beloved saint/goddess of the Celtic and British). This is a great time of year to rededicate yourself to Spirit. Here is a lovely Sacred Ceremony by Barbara Biziou of JoyofRitual.com. The intention is for rededicating yourself to Spirit and your spiritual pursuit. You'll need: Purple candle Black candle (or any other color) Coins Piece ... [Keep Reading]
Our angels see the big picture and know what is best for us. It can be hard to deal with that sometimes when all we want is the answer – and right now! One such case of this was when my Himalayan cat, Rusty, had an infection in his mouth. This was due to a couple of teeth that needed to be pulled. We always had to be careful with Rusty as he was thought to be a hemophiliac or “a bleeder.” Something as simple as extracting a tooth could ... [Keep Reading]
What a wonderful birthday! About five years ago my husband threw me a surprise birthday celebration. But the fun part was that my guests were surprised too! All we knew was that each person should be ready by a certain time and a limo would pick each one up. When we were all in the limo, we were given “party favor bags” which contained a cool wooden box filled with rolled up scarves, some strands of kids’ beads, crazy sunglasses, and a ... [Keep Reading]
