Rough Week
It’s been longer since my last update than I’m comfortable with. I admire those who manage to blog consistently, no matter their mood or the demands of life. It’s inspiring—but honestly, I just can’t. Nothing catastrophic happened to me this week, but it’s been challenging. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve…

A Funeral for the Old Year
A Funeral for the Old Year is the magical rite suggested this month. My daughter picked out a woodblock art calendar about witchcraft for “her room” (she doesn’t really live here anymore, and it’s been hard for me to accept) so I will be living with it myself for the…

Summer Solstice and 2024 Mid-Year Updates
I was so negative in my mindset the last time I posted on the blog. During the full Strawberry Moon and longest bright hot day of summer I decided to make some efforts toward keeping a more cheerful disposition and happy attitude going forward (if possible). My meditation habit is…

How to Survive the Deep Freeze
My advice is to stay inside as much as possible! Keep to a small space with doors closed and the windows covered. Personally, I run a small space heater on a timer for an hour or two, in my cozy little craft room when it’s been a freezing temperature all…

Batman Movies on the Bat Brain
I rewatched the Batman movies starring Christian Bale recently. It ocurred to me though I thought I’d seen them all before, somehow I had missed the first one, Batman Begins. Maybe I was on medications that wiped my memory if I saw it because everything seemed new and surprising. I…
