First of all, I’m a delight.Second, if you get lost, just hold still. Long time followers will notice that my past posts are in hiding. Also, you might be thinking, “Kim…what are you doing…again?” That’s fair. Honestly anything anyone has to say is fair. I got so very lost, and forgot the basics on what to do when that happens. Also, all the things I’ve taught, learned, or provided for others…

First of all, I’m a delight,Second, blessed feast day of one of the most bad a$$ women in history, Jeanne d’Arc. Happy Feast Day for Saint Joan of Arc.

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, could we not have this site taken over by AI like all the others have been?Third, my dear sweet husband took this photo of me a few weeks ago, and it sums up how I’ve been feeling the past week or so.

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, personal awakenings can really shift your life. “When you are already in Detroit, you don’t have to take a bus to get there.”– Ram Dass When the Universe nudged me to “get back to my work,” having a deep existential shift in my pondering was not on the vision board.

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, how do you write about something that deeply changed your life without sounding like a jerk?Third, yep…I absolutely meant density. “One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries.”― A.A. Milne Something has happened this week that made me lose my words. Nothing physical, as all is well there, but more…

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, sometimes you need a lot of quiet to see hidden things. When you get a long time to be in the quiet, you start seeing things in a new way…. Data centers are not great for the environment, and I think we all know that. However, and I say this using a place that accesses data centers, if we truly want to see an end to data centers, then maybe we need to stop…

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, is long form content dying? “We become what we are willing to see.”― Richard Rohr Hey y’all! The Moon is new, in the sign of Taurus, so plan your day accordingly. While I know a fair amount about astrology, I find the modern prognosticators often repeat each other in order to go viral online. But here’s the deal…a lot of the modern spiritual paths are rooted…

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, it seems I’m addicted to learning. “Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.”― Isaac Asimov Today I stumbled upon an article about piece of the Iliad being found with a mummy. It’s pretty interesting, and you can read it by clicking the hyperlinked text above. For this week’s podcast I was going to discuss coming back to the…

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, the image below is not mine, but it for sure sets the scene of my post. “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” — W.B. Yeats So I’m on my 4th re-watch of The Ghost Whisperer, because why not? Today’s post is this cloud. It wants me to tell you that it misses you. Sometimes writing doesn’t arrive at the time you…

Everything from power outages to deep thoughts that ran amuck. I…

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, when you’re creative world relies on energy, you must get creative during a power outage. “There is no such thing as a weird human being, It’s just that some people require more understanding than others.”― Tom Robbins As mentioned above, the power went out today.

First of all, I’m a delight.Second, we are all artists. “This world is but a canvas to our imagination.”– Henry David Thoreau If we, made in the image of a creator (science or spiritual), then we are also creators. When I taught art classes, that was always my opening statement, along with the ins/outs of the art world. My goal with every student was to help them understand that creating for…
