Spring Equinox - Returning to Center

The spring equinox is a time of balance and a time to re-set and re-start.

Imagine that the sun is a great big ball on a string like a pendulum, slowly swinging from left to right in an arc. When it is at it’s furthest point on either side, we have winter and summer but when it crosses the center point of the arc, we have spring and autumn. Of course that’s not how it works, the sun doesn’t move, it’s the earth that tilts and wobbles on its axis creating the seasons.…

Blindspots And Vulnerability - When You Can't See What Is Obvious To Someone Else

It's easy to spot a blindspot in another person but spotting your own takes herculean strength.

Photo by Eternal Happiness on Pexels.com “Being authentic” is a real buzz phrase in marketing and social media these days. So is the need to be unique. But what if you have a blindspot with regards to what makes you different from everybody else – and are you really that different? Believe it or not, this is quite normal. We look at other folks who do what we do or are in our demographic…

Selfish Service - A Modern Crone's Mantra

Selfish service - offering how it is you want to serve and not because you feel you have to.

When I was younger, I was in awe, and a little jealous, of the folks who knew without a doubt who they wanted to be, what career choice they would follow and how they were going to make it happen. Because for most of my life, I had no idea. I married young, had two amazing children and did what society expected of me and I ended up for the vast majority of my working career in service of some…

4 Things Every Legend Needs

Odds are, right now, you have a challenge before you that has the ingredients for a potential legend.

Are legendary stories true accounts of epic adventures? Or are they just fables made up to entertain an eager audience as they wile away the long dark nights. Perhaps they are a bit of both. Perhaps the stories being told are, in fact, rooted in a truth but over the years, and hundreds of enthusiastic story tellers, the adventures become legendary. There are four key elements in a legend. Of…

Entitlement - The Other Kind Of Selfishness

Why we no longer can live in our little bubbles of entitlement and instead learn the responsibility of cause and effect.

Two months ago I wrote on the subject of selfishness but instead of the negative meaning of the word, I talked about how we sometimes need to act with only our self in mind in order to improve our confidence and move forward in life. You can read that post here. Today I want to talk about the other kind of selfishness, the not so nice meaning to the word. This is where the ego takes over and…

Becoming In 2021

For 2021, it's a matter of mindset. What you think, is what you become.,

Photo by Leon Ardho on Pexels.com Before you set your New Year’s resolution. Before you shell out for a gym membership, or write a list of goals for 2021, I ask you to consider these two questions. Who are you becoming in 2021? Who do you want to become in 2021? Becoming is one of those recent buzz words probably made more popular because of Michele Obama’s 2018 best selling memoir of the…

The Crone's Word For 2021

What's the word I've picked as a personal symbol for the coming year?

Some time in December, for the past 5 years, I spend time in reflection on what will be my word for the coming year. This one chosen word becomes a talisman for the intentions I’ve determine that I want to embody as I go about the year ahead. Words have power so I am cognizant of the importance of the energy behind the one I eventually choose. I ask myself questions such as, “Who do I want to…

I Have Feet - What 2020 and this Pandemic Taught Me.

A simple but wise lesson for a year like no other and one I wish we never experience again in our lifetime.

I believe that life is what you make it. This philosophy could not have been truer this past year. If you decided to allow the fear of a virus rule your life, than your world may have been one of restrictions for the past 10 months. If you decided to live in denial, than perhaps the theme of your life for 2020 was frustration, or even anger. However you chose to make your life this year was…

Selfish is word that needs a better publicist. Find out why.

Making New Decisions For 2021

Make the decision right now to make 2021 the best year of your life.

They say that we are only one decision away from a different life. Notice that I didn’t say a better life. That’s because not all the decisions we make are smart ones and if 2020 shows us anything, it’s been showing us the repercussions of our choices.

For the most part, our daily decisions are on autopilot. Our body and mind makes choices based on deeply…

Night Terrors

What if unspeakable evils from the spirit realm could slip into our world at night while we sleep?

Oh my God! There’s something in my room!

I can hear it moving about. A barely there, slow swishing movement. I can sense it’s dark, heavy presence weighing down the air in my bedroom, even with my eyes closed.

My heart speeds up, pounding faster in my chest.

The empty side of my bed dips down. I feel the mattress bend. I sense it leaning over me, watching me. I should scream, I want to let out a…

I Can Feel Your Thoughts And So Can Everyone Else

What are you putting out into the world with your thoughts and emotions?

What if people could all of a sudden, hear your thoughts? What if that random snarky opinion that you ranted in your head and directed at the salesclerk who only asked if she could help you, was also heard in her head loud and clear? Alternately, what if that appreciative musing for the beautiful lady or handsome man who just strolled past you on the street was registered in their brain too?

Trust Yourself -Why It's The Only Sane Thing You Can Do Right Now

Could learning to trusting ourselves also be a simple answer for the world at large to learn to again?

Are you like me where there are days, well actually most days, where you feel like you are living in a hurricane? Instead of extreme wind and rain, the chaotic storm circling us is fueled by lies, mistrust, viruses and even hate. Is it any wonder that anxiety is at an all time high? Is it any wonder that folks are fearful, even angry? Because being in this current societal hurricane there are few…

The Last Quarter Of 2020 – A Simple Plan To Finish Up Strong

Normal is not a word I would use to describe 2020 and most would agree with me on this. As we roll in, or stumble, in some cases, to the last 3 months of the year there still is a chance to pull something out of this mess.

By now there should be a pattern of a new normal forming. We have our supply of toilet paper and our choice of facial masks. We…

Living With Divine Magic

Experiencing divine magic is really getting a teeny weeny glimpse of an incredibly powerful universal power.

The Italian pasty called a zeppole.

I love when I see signs and synchronicities or have experiences I feel are magical. It makes me know that I am in flow with the universe and that I am connected to all that is.

Like most folks, I can go for a while where life is just life. Where the everyday chores and responsibilities make up the bulk of my present focus. Where I feel as if I’m on the…

2020 - The Real Lesson For The Year

2020 – The Real Lesson For The Year

As we round the corner towards the autumn season, a time when folks usually get back to work and children return to school from the holiday season, life should slip back into a comfortable pattern of schedule and normal life. But 2020 has been nothing close to normal and fall promises to continue with that chaotic cycle.

There is no denying that this year has been one for the books. I’ve…
