A Different Kind of Move?

Well, I’ve been doing some thinking… and for my purposes, I’m wondering if wordpress is not the best home for my blog.  I’m accustomed to Blogspot, being able to add widgets and have a bit more control over certain elements.
I’ve been thinking a lot about expanding my site… and in order to do that, I’m [...]

Night Cap: What a Rush!

August Rush, that is…
And it went something like this.
(One month earlier)
“Mom,” said Rhythm to me via free mobile to mobile conversation during his vacation in Vegas, “You’ve got to see this movie called August Rush.”
“Why?”
“Trust me. You’ll love this movie.  Trust me. You have to see it.”
“What’s it about?”
“A psychic link through music between a [...]

Today’s Fairy: Peace of Mind – July 28, 2008

Ya think?

Card Meaning: Make peacefulness your highest priority. Commit to taking steps to ensure peace of mind, and take those steps without delay.
Description: Peace of mind isn’t something you have to earn or acquire, since your true self is already peaceful. Instead, it requires being like a sculptor with a block of marble, who works [...]

Today’s Tarot – Ten of Wands, Inverted – July 28, 2008

Well, here’s a repeat card from six days ago – not even a full week and the card surfaces to remind me I’ve not yet dealt with its issues.  I had a lot to say about it, apparently.  Ah… and re-reading what I wrote then, I can see why it’s still a present factor, especially [...]

Today’s Fairy Oracle: Family Harmony – July 27, 2008

I drew this card previously on June 23, 2008.
Well, isn’t she right on time?  Just yesterday I wrote a short post about how it was time to go get my daughter – and, at last, have my children home.  Rhythm left first – and before he returned, Stinkerbelle left.  Rhythm came home while Stinkerbelle was [...]

Today’s Tarot: Six of Cups – July 27, 2008

The six of cups suggests that it’s time to review patters and cycles – patterns and cycles that most likely were established early on in life. This card reminds me of a karmic loop.  When we find that we keep landing in the same place over and over, it’s easy to understand that we’re landing [...]

Quick Coffee Thoughts: All Together Now

Not much time to linger today. In fact, in about twenty-minutes, I’ll be leaving for Nashville.  Stinkerbelle comes home today. At last, we’ll all be together, nestled in back home, with all the recent chaos, turmoil, and … uhm… what’s the word… uncertainty… behind us.  All summer we’ve been wondering if or not we’re moving, [...]
