ARE YOU A MOTHER OF ANOTHER? Cecelia, my mom was very much a typical Italian raised American mother. She was a great cook, a friend to all, full of energy and spark, emotionally strong, had a great sense of humor, always teaching me ways to do something the “right way”, and a friend to all who would accept her sincere hospitality. But, if you crossed her family, watch out! Ok,
I have been MIA for a few weeks. This 4-letter word starting with a “P” has been in my vocabulary over the past year more than any other time in my life. That story is over! Dealing with lower back spinal issues for years as they waited for their voice to be heard, they finally got so agitated from my neglect. They screamed out, loudly! Seems one agitator started it
(This is one of my favorite past blogs and now a slightly edited version to share. I hope you enjoy reading and reflecting upon the history of this spring season as much as I do. Reposting as I am also with family for the weekend enjoying some watersports and sunshine.) A little egg has a lot of significance besides a high protein and nutritious food staple. So many recipes include
I never thought of myself as brave. Maybe a warrior as I tend to gear up for the good fight, but in a positive way fueled by compassion fused with passion. Whether being vocal to save the butterflies and bees, or for a healthier lifestyles for those who seek, I am ready. But brave, no. If I reflect back on times I needed courage, I hoped for it just like the
The annual “Spring Forward” time change occurs in many parts of the world. When 24 hours becomes 23 in the Sunday that follows. I dread it the night before it even happens. In that morning, I usually feel depleted from one less hour of sleep or time to get things done. I have been resentful about who created this annual event, thinking I’ll write a letter to the powers that be
(My first and favorite quartz crystal cluster above) When navigating a difficult mountain hike, I must stay focused and trust I will discover an amazing summit upon arrival. It may not be easy and there will be distractions tempting me to go off course. But I know there is always a reward waiting for me when I get back on the trail. The same goes for navigating with determination through the
Do you ever just know something and then it happens, but shake it off as a “coincidence”? Or ever wonder how and why clairvoyants and seers know so much? Long ago I eliminated the idea of coincidences and now trust that I am able to “listen” to my inner light that guides me like a personal lighthouse. Trust your vibes, they speak to you when the mind is less distracted,
Mr. Miyagi, my water bound buddy tolerates daily greetings and seems to enjoy my antics. As my beautiful blue Betta fish ages, he is less active in his vessel. It takes encouragement to get him moving. I create sound vibrations in the water intending to show my fondness for him. I speak kind words, chant various sounds, and even sing happy songs for him. He reacts as his fins flare
(Sample of various AED/Automatic Electronic Devices) I thought this writing would be specific to the energy of the Heart Chakra. But often I veer out into whatever my intuition guides me to share. We will get to the chakra content after this important information as it complements the vital organ in this space, our heart. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that I signed up for a workshop that I thought would just
One of the main reasons I moved to Southwest Florida was for the average 275 days per year of sunshine, higher than the U.S. average of 205. Simple reason, I thrive best with sunlight. Most living creatures do . It’s what energizes our power within. So it would make sense that our 3rd Chakra is Solar, or Manipura in sanskrit. It links our Sacral and Heart Chakras. The color is
