Hello Loves, October has been happily busy. Today I write this blog on Samhain. Samhain is the Gaelic holy day celebrating and honoring our ancestors. I built an elaborate altar for my relatives who have passed on. I placed together photos and mementos and candles. I like to sit by it and remember all of… Continue reading October Reflections

Hello Loves, I went on my dream honeymoon. Two days after the wedding we flew to Iceland! I’ve longed to experience this country for years. My wife was unsure about where the heck we were going – not the Bahamas, or the Turks and Caicos, or Fiji – but she wholeheartedly agreed. Thanks babe! The… Continue reading September Reflections

Hello Loves, I got married! My wife and I planned our entire wedding by ourselves. We kept the traditions that we loved, and threw away the ones that made us feel uncomfortable – no aisle to walk down, no photos during the ceremony, no clinking glasses for more kisses. It was super empowering to make… Continue reading August Reflections

Hello Loves, May has been a month of planting seeds. I can feel the seasonal change in the wind and the rain and the sun. Spring is flowing into summer. I planted my garden plot last weekend. I bought packets of seeds – sunflowers and zinnias, kale and chard, carrots and beets, peas, beans, squash,… Continue reading May Reflections

Hello Loves, Phew! February was A LOT! When you say 2024 is a year of ACTION, you better be prepared. Ha! I bought a home and had one month to pack up my entire household and move.

Hello Loves, I really reflected on my health this month. I caught the flu three times since the summer. I’m talking full on fever, body aches and headache, sneezing, congestion and coughing. They lasted three weeks each. I wondered what the heck was going on with my immune system? I’ve been one of those people… Continue reading December Reflections

Hello Loves, I’m deep into the practice of writing. My days have a pattern, a flow, a ritual. Wikipedia defines ritual as a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or revered objects. I think about my day and all of the rituals I enact. I wake up every morning and say thank you for… Continue reading November Reflections

Hello Loves, Every year on this day I honor my ancestors. First I clean my home – dusting, vacuuming, organizing, tidying, and letting go of the old. Then I clear off my altar, wipe it down, and ring my cymbals to set the energy. This is a holy day. I act with presence, love, and… Continue reading October Reflections
