I thought I might have an excuse not to write tonight. I’m in Madoc, Ontario, at the beautiful country home of a friend. My laptop is very slow for some reason and, while I sat and waited for the “beach ball of death” to disappear, I noticed that I was kind of hoping it would prevent me from writing. But, as it happens, the beach ball stopped turning and here …
Prologue As this is my last post of 2015, a lot has been coming up for me in terms of what to write about. For those of you who know me, or who are regular readers, you know that I’ve been feeling my way through a whole bunch of things lately. It feels as if the past two months have been a real challenge, in that regard, even though everything …
I’m seriously considering “copping out” and just posting a few links to podcasts and videos that I’ve been listening to and watching this past two weeks. I’m not sure how to describe how I’m feeling, exactly, but it kind of feels like a dense energy is around me. It’s heavy and sluggish and still. It makes me want to stay in bed and just watch TV. If I’m less coherent …
As great as things have been for me the past little while (and still are), I noticed that, over the past couple of days, there has been a heaviness creeping in. I haven’t changed anything in terms of my daily routine and I’m still doing all the things that I know are good for me, and yet, there has been an underlying sadness that has come close to the surface …
I’m not sure what is going on with this day all of a sudden. I’m arriving at Rooster late because I was at painting class working on another abstract piece. When I arrived, there were no seats available and they were out of the lemon-ginger scones I always have :( On top of that, I dropped my phone in the toilet. Hmmmm. I will admit that I’ve been a little …
For the past few weeks, I’ve been writing about love energy – our capacity for it, what it feels like, where it comes from, how to channel it and where to direct it. What I’ve noticed is that the more conscious I am of how powerful and ever-present this energy is and the more in alignment I feel with my true consciousness, the more I discover how it motivates, maneuvers …
Once again, as I sit down to write, hours behind schedule and not sure what to write about, the universe (via Facebook) gives me a gift. I arrived at Rooster and opened Facebook to send a quick note to a friend. She’s a real-estate agent and I’m asking her to help me begin the search for my new office (I’m hoping to find a building to buy in the next …
Where did I leave off? Oh, yes… Where does my love go…? This has been a pivotal week for me. For a few posts now, I have been writing about how recent astrological influences have had the power to affect us and I’ve been sharing what I’ve noticed in my personal experience. Just to re-cap, it started when I was in Vancouver for the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (April 15) and …
Every once in a while, I pull a card from one of the many Tarot or Angel Card decks I have. One of my favourites is the OSHO Transformation Tarot. I like it because, in addition to the simple explanation of the card meaning, it also offers parables and teaching stories from the worlds greatest wisdom traditions including Zen, Buddhism, Sufism, Tantra, Tao, Christian and Jewish mysticism, which helps to …
Yes, I managed to paint while in Vancouver! This is of my sister, Rory. As I fly over the mountains, on my way back home to Toronto, it occurs to me that Vancouver and I have a complicated relationship. On one hand, it feels like home and yet there is something about being there that is slightly unsettling. I noticed it yesterday after my sister, whose apartment I was staying …
