When I walk through the woods, I absorb the energy of the nature around me. Somewhere on my hike I make sure I stop and hug a tree, like really wrap my arms around its trunk and lay my cheek against its bark. You will feel the energy from the tree. This isn’t woo woo,…

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
This morning was like most mornings….I wake up before the sun comes up, it is winter so that isn’t hard, and wait to hear Bentley stretching and rustling around downstairs. I snuggle under the layers of covers a little longer, than head down to let Bentley out to do what Bentley does when he first…
Hibernation and Resolutions
Weird title, I know…. 🙂 Let me explain….. As February comes to an end, I feel like I am coming out of my mental and physical hibernation. I didn’t cuddle into a cave, or stop working, but I did take a pause. I lit candles in the evening and settled in with a good book….
A Changing of The Guard
As I sat down to write this, I realized my last post was the summer solstice and now it is the fall equinox! What!! How did the time fly by so fast? A couple of tidbits I learned while reading about the fall equinox. The equinox happened this year on September 22nd at 7:43 am…
Happy Summer Solstice
As I sit here sipping on an iced latte, of my own making, I wonder what the rest of the year has in store, the rest of my life really. I know we can’t know and I know it is wasted thought-energy wondering. But….I know what my heart wants. Let me back up a bit….
There Was A Robin In My Garden Today
We have had an unseasonably mild winter here in WI and now having spring weather barely the second week in March! The last week in February I noticed my tulips poking their noses out of the ground and the trees starting to bud. I had a little chat with them about it not even being…
Alive and Kicking AND Happy Valentines Day!
Well, not literally kicking, but moving and there is some dancing involved. 🙂 Isn’t he cute? My first entry in my 2024 journal was, “I wonder what this year will bring?”. Hummm, kind of a scary thought in a way. Last year did not have a good start at all, but this year has been…
Oh My, Winter Found Us!
I am sitting here with a fresh, hot, cup of coffee in hand and the space heater running. It has been so cold this week and it makes me think about how Mother Nature was teasing us with weather in the 20’s to 40’s. Walking with Bentley, on the trail behind my house, would bring…
Winter Solstice Celebrations
The winter solstice is celebrated on December 21st, the day with the least daylight of the year. If you are wondering why and the world, we would want to celebrate this, let me explain. 🙂 The winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, also means the longest night of the year. In my mind,…
Memory Lane
How are you doing right now? Thanksgiving thoughts…. How was your Thanksgiving? I am hoping it was time spent enjoying some yummy food, gathered with friends and family. Waking up on Thanksgiving morning, before my sister and youngest kiddo arrived, the journal was pulled out and I did some writing as my thoughts cruised down…
