Sometimes you look at the world around you through the window of your TV screen, computer, or phone, and it seems like there’s a hurricane going on out there. Debris is being flung around by the winds of hatred, politics, war, pollution, and disease. You feel like it must be the end. We’re all going […]

This morning, just before we went out for our morning doggy walk, I said, “We’re going to see red-winged blackbirds today.” We haven’t seen them since fall. They flew south for the winter, as they always do. But for the past 3 days, I’ve been feeling them near, and I just knew this morning was […]
Discover MoreToday is release day for A YEAR OF BLISS! One day, after a beautiful meditation, I was inspired to gather up all the Bliss Blog posts from 2019 and put them together into a book. It was only after all the work was done, and we were on to publishing said book, that it occurred […]

The most powerful times for magic, for example, are in-between times: dawn which is the precipice between night and day, and dusk, between day and night. Midnight is the fulcrum between today and tomorrow, noon the tipping point from morning to afternoon, and so […]
Discover MoreIt’s nearly the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. But it’s not the long night we celebrate. We celebrate the sunrise to follow, which appears to have been reborn. Instead of growing smaller and weaker, the newborn sun begins growing bigger and stronger. After the long, dark night, the light returns, and though […]
Discover MoreYou can make any topic as simple or as complicated as you like. There are entire books about nothing else other than candle magic. I can only assume they must tell you how to gather the wax from bees, color it with natural dyes, and weave wicks from empowered hemp to get that much material […]
Discover MoreEvery year between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve, I conduct a spiritual year-end review. It makes sense to me to do this. It’s kind of intuitive, so I roll with it. I’m already thinking about the year gone by to count my blessings, and to appreciate the growth and expansion 2019 brought. I do a […]
