My poor computer isn't feeling well today. She's got some kind of grumbly in her tumbly, and hubby is currently tending to her. So for today's Musing Monday (brought to you by hubby's laptop), I got it covered - aka, I figured I'd share the mock-ups I did for four of my book covers, and... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Black Sea Hotel
With the popularity of Pitch Perfect (and the upcoming, inventively named Pitch Perfect 2), I'm guessing most people default to the Barden Bellas when mention of a female a cappella group comes up. I'm willing to bet about ten seconds after you start listening to the Balkan folk singing trio known as Black Sea Hotel,... Continue Reading →
WW – New Moon on Wednesday
Yes, I know - it's actually, "New Moon on Monday" but I think new Moon on Wednesday works just as well. *grin* Tonight at about 6:30pm (EST), the moon will officially be in her monthly dark phase. It's always easy for me to remember what this aspect represents, thanks to this chant (found the lyrics... Continue Reading →
MM – Monday love
This past Friday the 13th, which also happened to be the day before yet another Nor'easter, I prepared for the storm like any good New Englandah does. I made a packie run. I decided my Valentine's gift to my hubby would be a nice bottle of bourbon, and his to me would be a nice... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart birds
Happy Friday the 13th! In honor of this lucky day, and to help justify my latest obsession... err, I mean, hobby, I'm sharing thirteen of my favorite and most recent bird photos (out of the approximately three hundred on my computer). See, kids - Mommy doesn't need an intervention, and she's not a crazy bird... Continue Reading →
WW – Daily Tarot
I picked up my first Tarot deck and guide book a bazillion years ago in the early '80s. However, because of the lovely little voice that constantly whispered in my brain, "What makes you think you have the talent for Tarot?" (amongst other lovely, inspiring messages *grin*), no matter how many times I read the... Continue Reading →
MM – Grumpy bird is grumpy
As Snowpocalypse 2015 continues here in New Hampshire, the general mood amongst the birds today was grumpy - I agree with you, birds. Oh, I agree... *sigh* Admittedly not as catchy as “winter is coming” but I like the sound of it so much more. This coming Monday (February 2nd) is auspicious for many reasons.... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Galavant
Yes, I heart Galavant! No, I don't mean like gallivanting, though I still have a fondness for gadding about when I have the time and energy (okay, so it's more like wishful thinking at this point in my life *grin*). I'm talking about the miniseries (now available for free on Hulu), Galavant. Take Robin Hood:... Continue Reading →
WW – Simply Imbolc
For the majority of my time on this earth so far, one of the biggest obstacles I put in my own path, was the fear of doing things the "right" way. I'd get an idea in my head of something I wanted to do, like reorganize a room, set up a ritual, or write a... Continue Reading →
MM – This and that
Spring is almost here! Bright Imbolc blessings to all (yes, I'm ignoring what the silly groundhog said). I lit my candle (vanilla cream) and have it next to my keyboard, reminding me that warmer days are coming... There are many things to say about yesterday's game, but I decided to express my feelings with pictures.... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart the Patriots Part Two
Even though Bill Belichick did everything possible to get people to stop focusing on the rEdelculousness that is #DeflateGate (nope, not gonna link it), even going so far as to call in a wicked big blizzard to give the newscasters something else to talk about, it's still won't die down. Here are a few more... Continue Reading →
WW – Winter is leaving
Admittedly not as catchy as "winter is coming" but I like the sound of it so much more. This coming Monday (February 2nd) is auspicious for many reasons. Not only will I celebrate the results of the big game, and look to Punxsutawney Phil for his prognostications, I will also welcome the halfway point of... Continue Reading →
