I told my friends that a solar eclipse is like a National Homeschoolers holiday. Homeschoolers LOVE things like this…natural events that students can see and participate in and study from so many angles. When the last one in our area happened in 2017, we OF COURSE got glasses and watched it, but we also made … More Hope You Had a Happy Eclipse Day!
Sorry that it’s been a long time since I’ve posted. But best wishes to all for 2024. Every January 1, our Spiritual Center has a New Year’s Visioning session in which we receive guidance about what we are to do this year, and has an optional Vision Board Creation workshop afterward. The picture above is a quote … More I Was Struggling with Today’s January 6th, but This Gave Me Hope

Long-time readers know that my traditional Halloween dinner are stuffed peppers with jack o’lantern cut-outs that allow the stuffing to show through their bell pepper containers. But since I’m home alone this Halloween, I chose something a little simpler. This is homemade refried black beans, cooked with peppers, onions, and cheese (although you leave out … More Meatless Monday: Halloween Edition
Happy Fourth of July! Except for so many people, it doesn’t seem to be…happy, that is. The South and Midwest are suffering under dangerously high heat. The East Coast continues to breath air heavy in ash from the onging wild fires in Canada. There was another mass shooting Monday night for another unknown reason that … More America…the Beautiful? Or the Baffling?
I can’t believe that yesterday was the Summer Solstice! That means that starting today, the daylight will be getting shorter every day. I know that “officially,” this is the start of summer, but instead it feels like a wake-up call to how much of my summer has already passed. Still, I try to celebrate the … More Happy Summer Solstice!
I have mixed emotions today, as represented by two of my heroes: Marianne Williamson and Cory Booker. I first read Marianne’s comments on Juneteenth from her daily newsletter TRANSFORM with Marianne Williamson. Marianne encourages us to open our hearts to experience the horror and pain of the truth of our country’s history of enslaving Black people. … More Happy Juneteenth 2023

OK, so this is January 2, so not officially New Year’s Day, but since it is the federal holiday for New Year’s Day, I’m figuring it still counts. Now, this is not to say I didn’t have a good ACTUAL New Year’s Day. Both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day focus around programs at … More My New Year’s Day Present
Having just watched the movie Elvis, this song kept running through my head this Christmas because it was true–we definitely had a blue Christmas this year. Not blue in an unhappy way, but in a physical way..like the color your skin turns when you are cold. Our power went out shortly after lunch on Christmas … More We Had a Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue Christmas…As Well as a Grinch, A Christmas Carol, and A Chrismas Story Christmas
