How was your May Day? Mine was busy but powerful. Here are a few highlights of the day… I did the meditation from yesterday’s post so I would be centered in May Day or Beltane energy (click here for that post). I had a business call at 1:00 that I took outside, basking in the … More May Day 2025: Meditation, Manifestation, and Miracle
Mayday has a long tradition in Western, particularly English/Celtic, culture. Midway between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice, it is a time to celebrate fertility and being alive. Spring Equinox is great, when we start to see the Earth revive and begin planting our seeds and intentions for the season. But it’s still pretty … More It’s MayDay! A Day to Celebrate Being Alive
We have two holidays coming up this week: May Day and Cinco de Mayo. Now, ironically, Cinco de Mayo is not a big deal in much of Mexico.

I was inspired for this post by an opinion piece by John Paul Brammer in the Washington Post … More When Did You Know?

It’s a blustery day here in North Carolina. It’s relatively warm for February (48 degrees F) and sunny, but the wind is blowing through the trees between 20-30 miles per hour. Those blasts made me want to nestle down into my bedding and, uh,…meditate. My friends the crows were calling out to me to join them, … More The Worm Whisperer
This was a great weekend for me. While the backdrop nationally was President Trump’s inauguration and the peaceful protests for the rights of women, minorities, and the poor, my focus was a little more personal. Friday and Sunday nights we had parties (YAY!) where my son invited over his friends for dinner, games, art or music … More Mopping with Joy
