Sweet Soliloquies

Maybe the funk hasn’t completely gone away… I’m looking forward to the busy weekend of family, friends and my son’s open house.  There’s so much left to do before then!  I’m also looking forward to the anticipated peace to follow… I’ve been a very bad girl when it comes to visiting my lovely friend’s... Read→

  TGIF friends! Today: I am trusting that we will survive the economic crisis that is becoming more personal every day.  As we reign in spending and cut costs here and there, help us to release unhealthy obsessions and desires and find peace and freedom in a simpler life. I am grateful for my friends who help keep me sane when teetering on the... Read→

My artist feature of Camille Boggs is up at Texty Ladies!    Hers is an amazing talent and she shares about her childhood, the materials and processes she uses, what happens when things go wrong, and more!  I do hope you’ll check it out! *~*~*~* On another note, I was unable to participate in Wishcasting Wednesday yesterday and feel, hmmmm,... Read→

I cannot believe it has been five days since I posted here.  June promises to be hectic so my posts might be sporadic the next week or two.  I’ve also come to realize that I’ve been in a funk.  Even though you might know you’re in one, you don’t realize to what depth you’ve sunk until you start to come out of it.  There’s... Read→

Our fabulous Wishtress Jamie asks us today: What do you wish for your body? It seems I have entered that glorious time in a woman’s life when her body decides to play tricks on her.  White hot blinding rage will appear from nowhere making me want to destroy anyone in my path.  I experience moments when I’m absolutely sure that no one... Read→

FOR TODAY…June 9, 2009 Outside my window…the world is still outside after two days of much needed rain. I am thinking…that I need some coffee if I’m going to navigate this day. I am thankful for…the teachers who worked with my son over the years and the teachers who will work with him in this next phase of his life. From... Read→

May your day and night be magical! (Would love to find this without the commentcherry.com on it.  Don’t you just want to be there?)  Read More →

It’s a grey day, leaves rustling lightly and a bird on a wire is singing its heart out.  Rain threatens and I wish it would deliver because the flowers and plants are looking a bit sad.  We’ve invited friends over for dinner and it would be nice to sit out on the patio in front of a fire, so let’s pray that any rain we receive... Read→

Yes!  The day has finally come to dig into Jamie Ridler’s The Next Chapter:  Wreck This Journal!  I confess, I found the book at the bookstore about a month ago and wanted to buy it then but new I wouldn’t be able to hold off starting it until June 5th.  I waited until last week to buy it and then put it out of my sight so I wouldn’t... Read→

The thought of participating in Wishcasting Wednesdays is somehow comforting and exhilirating at the same time.  I look forward to it every week…and here it is! Our inspiring host Jamie Ridler asks of us today: What is your wish for June? I suspect that June will fly by quickly so it is good to pause now and examine my wishes for the month. ... Read→

Angel of Death by ~xartez on deviantART I received the news last Friday that a long time friend passed away.  He was 50 years old.  Far too young to be leaving us but it must have been his time.  We had not kept in contact the last several years but had bumped into each other in 2008 at a school function, neither of us knowing the others’ son... Read→

I’m so excited because I just found out that the Grave Secret, the fourth book in Charlaine Harris’ Harper Connelly series, will be out November 2009!  I love this series because of the lead character’s unusual talent, intriguing personality and unusual relationship with the second lead character.  If you haven’t read this... Read→

FOR TODAY – June 1, 2009 Outside my window…all is still except for a lone bird with an urgent message.  I must refamiliarize myself with the calls of various birds so I know which ones are visiting each day. I am thinking…I have a busy week ahead so I must put myself in the right frame of mind and make sure I get enough sleep. I... Read→
