I didn’t know there was designated UFO day of celebration until today when a co-worker showed me the photo she’d created: A lovely nature scene with a disc-shaped UFO high in the sky. Very clever indeed! She enthusiastically said this would become her Facebook page banner. For me, the UFO phenomenon has created a permanent banner across my mind and soul, particularly after my experience around…

Work: “Can you come in early today?”Me: “Uhhhhh … no. Prior engagement,” as I assist my forest friend who’s decided to try out a new moss hair-do. 😀There are priorities in life. The inner child’s happiness comes first, then the adulting. Otherwise, the brain goes through the day fighting with inner tantrums, yelling, and a lot of whining. How do you take care of your inner child? ❤

“Gerard Ent”, our debonaire Juniper Berry tree! Recently I’ve heard young parents voicing dismay with the lack of enchantment in our modern, “mechanistic” world and wondering how to keep a joyful spark for life in their school-age children. They acknowledge that reading to their kids is not high on the priority list, yet express concern how fairy tales and just being outdoors isn’t interesting…

The Bean Sidhe & Tonight’s Supermoon

sunset I adore David Halpin’s posts on Irish Fairy Lore. Sadly, he has yet to create a book of all his amazing, informative stories and I feel concern they may be lost. With that, I will be interweave his posts into my blog page as “historical records” every now and again. Please take a moment to “Like” his FB page if you’re so inclined. For now, sit back and learn about the Bean Sidhe,…

Little horse in our fairy garden! Recently I encountered a lovely person and her very wobbly, little dog. Turned out her dog is suffering from heart and kidney disease. Though she didn’t ask, for it I was compelled to write a prayer which later morphed into a song. After emailing her the video link it occurred to me that perhaps others may benefit from the prayer as well, so now I share it with…

Portal Wandering the local woods on the full moon I pondered, “What is art?” The following photos and thoughts are the results. Thank you to Nature for the inspiration! Oregon Grape Root in bloom What is art? The expression of powerful, balancing and chaotic energies, forces, and Spirit. Sacred space The Master artist? Nature, the dancer of yin/ yang. Effortless and yet pressured, like a…

Funny I kept putting off buying this giant book, though it stared me in the face at the store check-out stand. 😁 I couldn’t imagine reading that much about EO’s. After scanning the contents page I was duly impressed! This book is quite the tome of all things essential oil. In 683 pages Valerie has shared in-depth essential oil descriptions and chapters on how they may be blended for use, from…

Duality is an inherent quality of life in this reality. Likewise, our brain is divided, left and right. Our mission in schoolroom Earth is to practice equilibrium by walking the middle path. Emotions are the side effect of our thoughts and…

December Sun “Systems are created based on the needs and beliefs of the people; the outside world mirrors the collectives’ beliefs about themselves. ”Historically, all systems built up to this point in time have been hierarchical, from kingdoms, oligarchies, to modern republics because people did not own responsibility for their personal power to live sustainably and maintain their own…

Woolly Bear at the barn! Can Woolly Bear Caterpillar’s coloring predict winter’s chill and length? According to folklore, yes! According to modern science, no. 😁 So let’s all take a little time from our busy schedule’s, romp gently through local forests and open fields to find our Woolley Bear friend and observe its colors and coat. Then let’s note how winter goes in our respective regions and…

Three Things You Can Do…

Water’s Edge, photo: Regina Chante 3 things to inspire you to get outta bed each day: 1-Seek novelty. Have you learned something new lately? Been to a new bioregion? Spent time in Nature? When you seek novelty and find it, lose it, then seek and find it again you’ve increased your dopamine (pleasure hormone) levels fourfold. In other words, the magic of maybe, of uncertainty is what our brains…
