Opposite Action

I continue to be observant of Mother Nature reaching out and contacting me. In my prayers on Monday when I said "Thank you for the birds" a bird sitting on the gate gave a loud squawk. When I put my hands out, palms upwards, and turned towards the West and gave thanks for the rain, …

A Warrior with the Touch of an Angel

On Tuesday night I was howling in the middle of the night. I have had sleep paralysis issues for decades. What happens varies slightly from one episode to another but basically I am unable to move and I am terrified. What is causing the terror has a few different manifestations, one is a haggard old …

An Uncomfortable Amount of Confidence

I had a message from my Maternal Grandmother this week. That might be normal for many of you but mine passed away over 20 years ago. I had seen the most amazing pictures of a garden with a variety of beautiful, unusually coloured irises and it made me think of my Grandmother who loved irises. …

Masochism

The weather last weekend was hot but the heat was tempered by the insane winds we were having. The wind howled all day Saturday and Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UqatqfLkgOc I did not mind as I was having a do nothing weekend. I watched several movies and series. I ate popcorn. I spaced out and it was just …

Transformative

This past week was a bit transformative for me. I mentioned in my last post that I was going for derma blading, but after chatting to my skin therapist, we opted for a light peel and a session with the dermapen instead. A dermapen is specific brand of an automated micro-needling device that uses an …
