Consider making a vision board, or collage, or SoulCollage (TM) card for 2016. If you have chosen a word for this year, you may want to incorporate this into your project in some way, either by putting the actual word in your work, or choosing images that evoke the feeling that your word gives you when...

Bright idea
I love my crystal spheres, but one thing about spheres is...they roll. I was looking for a way to stabilize them. I was using a bubble wrap nest and a tissue paper nest for the two that I was working with, but wasn't satisfied. Then I was burning a candle with the lid off to the... Continue Reading →
A new crystal for 2016
As 2015 drew to a close, I was thinking of ways to commemorate the coming new year when I had the thought that I needed to 'get a beautiful piece of Aqua Aura'. My first reaction was, 'Oh, Aqua Aura. That's nice.' I didn't take any action on it. I merely acknowledged the thought and... Continue Reading →
Give it up
I was at Holy Yoga this morning and our (awesome) teacher gave us a task: write your worries down on a post it note. Anything you are worrying about is 'not putting food on the table' (I believe I am paraphrasing Susan the teacher who was quoting Max Lucado here). We were literally going to... Continue Reading →
My One Word: A spiritual practice
I chose the word Brave this year as my one word. Here is a list of things I accomplished (just off the top of my head) in 2015 so far that I would not have if I not chosen this word: Got on an airplane for the first time since 1989 Let two (non family... Continue Reading →
A Challenge

This caught my attention because dyslexia runs in my family. I often point to him as a role model for children with dyslexia: "Look what he... Continue Reading →
Review of Magical Times
I have a lot of Angel Card and Oracle Decks. Full disclosure: I am a collector of the things that I love. 🙂 Up until now, I haven't been drawn to the fairy cards, at least not to the point of actually purchasing a deck. Then my friend Stacey gave me this deck, Magical Times... Continue Reading →
Pecha whaaaaat?
I heard about Pecha Kucha last spring when I attended The Enlightenment Expo. Kristi Borst shared her Pecha Kucha presentation that she created with her amazing art. Next I saw a small ad for a Pecha Kucha show that was being held in Kennebunkport last May. Pecha Kucha? Japanese for 'chit chat'. You present 20 sides... Continue Reading →
Following the signs
I saw an ad for an open house at a local business and felt an inexplicable urge to go. Since this year I made the commitment to not argue with my intuition, I went. On the way, I was talking to my husband about my paternal grandmother who died in 2004. After we got there, I poked... Continue Reading →
