What did you want to be when you grew up? For me, it was always a teacher. That is, until I became a student teacher. And my cranky supervisor, Mr. Eby criticized the “uneven borders”on my wildly imaginative bulletin boards. That, and a few more disillusioning experiences, was enough for me to give up that [...]
You know that expression “ask and you shall receive?” Well, I’m here to tell you, it’s not just some old adage. It’s a powerful tool for turning your personal muck into magic. Here's the story. A few days ago, I woke up feeling, well...“icky.” So, I went outside to the garden to meditate. As I [...]
I want to start by wishing you a Happy New Year. Now, I’m not so naive (or woo-woo) to think that all the muck in the world’s going to suddenly disappear with one big Poof. But I do believe that when we invite more magic into our lives, it creates a ripple effect out into [...]
I have a feeling you are too. In that spirit, I'm thankful to share this little story with you. The other morning I was (literally) up at the crack of dawn. I couldn't sleep. My mind was spinning with worry, fear and anxiety. Not just about the state of the world. But about someone very [...]
One of the joys during the Age of Corona has been dining in our magical backyard. Having a refuge from the insanity of the outside world has literally been a breath of fresh air. That is, until a sickening stench began wafting through the air. And took up residence somewhere around the mint and the [...]
So, there I was. blissfully floating in the pool. Serenaded by a birdie choir. And dazzled by a crimson dragonfly fluttering by. Suddenly, my bubble was burst as a yellow jacket’s stinger stabbed the tender crease of my inner left arm. OW quickly became WOW. In minutes, my arm turned tomato red and swelled up [...]
The other day, I was sitting amongst the flowers in my magical garden. But my mind was elsewhere---stuck in the muck of worry, fear and worst case scenarios. Suddenly, I was jolted out of my downward spiral by the surprisingly hefty HUMMMMM of a tiny hummingbird, hovering just inches from my face. I was so [...]
In my morning meditation, I make it a practice to pray for magic and miracles. But I never, ever expected to find one lying on the little white couch in our family room. As you probably know, I'm obsessed with dragonflies. And so inspired by how they grow their magical wings while crawling in the muck at the [...]
I miss my Mommy. (I guess pandemics have a way of doing that.) So, on this 4th year without her, instead of just lighting a candle in her honor, I said this little prayer: "Dear Mom, could you please give me a sign that you're with me? I wish it could be a dragonfly. But [...]
The way I see it, with all the woe in the world, we can all use some more woo. So here goes: On March 19th, I took part in an on-line Global Meditation. Just when we were guided into our hearts, I felt something crawling on my right hand. When I opened my eyes, there [...]
