Ten Truths About Me

Photo Fun in Mexico

In Kim Klassen's "Beyond Layers: a year of art full inspiration" e-course I'm taking, she challenged us to do an exercise that would share 10 truths about us. It would be a fun way to get to know one another. So, I'm game! Here are my 10 Truths About Me: 1.  This year my husband and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. (Too bad our boys are only teenagers and can't afford to throw us a big bash :-)) That's my hubby and me ... [Keep Reading]

Books Half Price!

Reading Book

Selling my inventory of spiritual books at half price! The solar eclipse energy seems to have encouraged many of us to do some clearing out recently :-) While organizing and clearing my office, I decided to sell my inventory of books (new) at half price. These would make great gifts (to yourself and others)! Lots of Doreen Virtue books on angels! I'm listing the books I have and the price. Email me at Maryellen@AngelicJourneys.com to ...

Honoring What I Need

Serenity Photo Collage

I find that sometimes I just need to go with the energy that's present. Yes, there are times when I have deadlines or my calendar dictates things, but I'm referring to the days when I have a choice in the matter. (Wait a minute...I take that back...I have to remember that we always do have a choice in the matter :-)) With the Super Moon we had this past weekend and with the way the astrological influences have been, the energy has been ...

Loving All Things Beautiful

Beauty of Nature Collage

I recently started taking Kim Klassen's "Beyond Layers" e-course. She sends weekly lessons and inspiration for things to create. However, I'm allowing myself to do it at my leisure so that I do not add more to my to-do list or any added pressure. Yet when I'm feeling the pull by Creativity, I love that I have the tools and her ideas to guide me. I recently found that photos that I take with my phone actually have a pretty nice quality. ...

Be a “Dancing Queen”!

Mamma Mia! Dancing Queen

Here at Angelic Journeys and Replenish Your Spirit Coaching, I am all about adding richness to our otherwise "ho-hum" regular lives by incorporating the magic and richness of spirituality into our everyday existence. I often think of myself as a "soccer Mom" who also dances with the Angels and communes with Mother Earth :-)  Spirituality doesn't have to be only prayers and meditation, although those are great too. But I love calling in to ... [Keep Reading]

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Friends laughing

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]

Grace’s “Beautiful Underpants”

Blue knitted sweater

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 ...

Music and Nature!

Feet

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 for Sensitives

Help! I'm Sensitive book cover

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]
