I am a firm believer that ideas and inspiration are given to us, are chosen for us, land on us, and are not from our own mind. Elizabeth Gilbert wrote about this in her wonderful book, Big Magic, and it makes so much sense. If an idea lands on you, you must quickly accept it…

Spring Babies and Spring Fever
Summer is filled with gardening, preserving, get togethers, coffee on the porch at sunrise, and blessed warmth. Autumn brings with it the first fire in the hearth, flannels, and skies filled with stars, majestic colors splayed upon the trees. Winter brings holidays and rest, crafts by the fire, and a bit of cabin fever. Spring…
The Eco-friendly, Affordable, Beautiful Wedding (your ideas are welcome!)
Emily will not let her dad and the officiator (her dad’s friend) wear their kilts to the wedding. The child is like 98% Celtic origin. She wants what she wants. She (like most of us) has been planning her wedding since childhood. Pinterest is well used. The wedding is going to be beautiful, all spring…
The Second Step to Achieving Your Goals
Resolutions are meant to make us better people. Goals and dreams are set into our hearts to guide us on this journey. Listen to your spirit when setting your intentions for the new year. Okay so you want to be size six, never eat donuts again, and travel to Malaysia… Looking at your goals, why…
The Land of Enchantment; Dreaming Big
I have come to the Land of Enchantment. I know that New Mexico is known for that, I had been trying to get there for close to a decade, but I found this Land of Enchantment along the path. As a Colorado native, I have no idea how this beautiful place so close to where I…
A Daily Meditation
A daily meditation is a lovely way to begin or end a day. A time to reflect, think, dream, pray, be. An idea floated upon me yesterday. An idea to listen and record a daily message from nature. We all know that we go too fast in this society. We have isolated ourselves from…
A New Year’s Resolution to Truly Live
As we take the final footsteps of 2016 we look back on the year past. It was a very good year for us, but a lot of folks have gone through similar circumstances as our dreadful 2015 of loss, and I know we are all looking towards 2017 with great anticipation and hope. It seems the universe…
A Novel Breathes Life and the Wisdom of the Elders
My friends, you must read Big Magic by Liz Gilbert. I keep referring to it. I loved how it stated that genius lands on people, not people become geniuses. An idea has its own entity, its own life and “lands” on willing recipients. Sometimes a recipient isn’t ready for it and it goes to another…
A Whir of Creativity
The old clock ticks from the mantle. The tea is ready. The sun is going down in the west through the snow clouds. The light is luminescent and warm despite the chill. I am oddly, most strangely content here. I would never believe it so. A Farmgirl in an apartment? It is as if I…
New Year’s Resolutions (writing them down to manifest)
Did you spend some time yesterday deciding what you want in the new year? We must be specific, you know. Write down a few things that you really would like to manifest and create this coming year. Now why do you want that? Really think about that. I wanted to go back to school. Teaching…
