Wordsmith. Witch. G33k. Shutterbug. Hive Cryptoblogger.
Tonight is the first time my writing group meets without me (thanks to circumstances involving my impending surgery), so I'm singing the writing woes blues. Yes, I'm writing in a way. I'm blogging consistently, but every single day, I think about Maeve and how I'm letting her down by not giving her a decent storyline.... Continue Reading →
I tested the limits of my five year old digital camera tonight, but I got some decent shots of the Super Blood Moon. The whole family ended up outside with me. There were a couple of moments, as we stood in the dark driveway, that a number of coyotes serenaded us, Magical, spooky, beautiful evening!... Continue Reading →
When our three kidlets were little, hubby and I started doing a "Safe Place" ritual at bedtime. A friend gave me a similar meditation to help them feel protected from some weird juju that was manifesting at the time. In the early days of doing it, we'd hold their hands, and once they'd imagined their... Continue Reading →
Earlier this month, The Smart Witch posted a quote from author Tahereh Mafi on her Facebook page, and I knew I'd eventually have to steal it use it for one of my moon photographs. Here it is, paired with a picture, taken on August 22, 2015 at 7:29pm. Speaking of Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me is... Continue Reading →
Hard to believe, but ten years ago today, I started blogging for a local newspaper. After two years, I struck out on my own. Granted, there have been long stretches of zero posts, but for close to a year now, I've managed three posts a week, with a few extras (like throwbacks for Thanksgiving and... Continue Reading →
Yes, I know today isn't Witchy Wednesday, but since it's the birthday of the first person in the US to openly admit being Wiccan, I decided a shout out was in order. I bought my copy of Uncle Bucky's Big Blue Book soon after hubby bought Cunningham's book in '91, and it's been part of... Continue Reading →
Now that I've consistently posted entries three times a week for close to a year (and daily last November), I've turned my focus to finding my audience. My peeps. My fan base. Lately, when I'm pondering possible platitudes to entice people here, this song by Genesis pops into my head - "I will follow you... Continue Reading →
Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! This day was essentially created in an effort to combat the bad PR black cats have endured (they have the lowest adoption rate and the highest rate of euthanasia at shelters). I found the best description of the holiday on the site, I Can Has Cheeseburger? - Black cats have... Continue Reading →
Now that I've been blogging three times a week for about nine months, I'm taking the next logical step and working on my readership. Facebook is proving to be a big fail, thanks to their money hungry "promote this post or nobody will ever see it" strong arm tactics algorithm. I don't plan to delete... Continue Reading →
Almost a week into my fiftieth year, and things have been... interesting. Not nearly as interesting as my dear friend thinkum (suffice to say Murphy was not kind to her), but still enough to give me pause. I'm finding that looking for the bright side of every situation helps me stay centered and calm (calm... Continue Reading →
Yes, I've gone to the dark side, 'cause I'm looking to score some cookies... *grin* I spent far too much time this past year agonizing over the pros and cons of installing Ad Sense on my blog. A few days ago, I finally decided to take Nike's advice. As you can see in one of... Continue Reading →
At the beginning of the year, when I dedicated myself to three posts a week, I finally got around to redoing the About Me section of this blog. It's gotten a few hits in recent days, and it occurred to me that I don't think I did a great job of telling my readers exactly... Continue Reading →
