A Really Big Dose (No, I mean a really, really big one!)

You’ve been warned: this is really, really long – and packed with all sorts of stuff you may or may not find interesting and/or… well… (*winks at Indigo*)… off the beaten path. What I ask you to keep in mind, should you choose to keep reading, is that this blog, these posts, are a part [...]

Tagged by a Spatula Handle!

I’m tardy, but better late than never… Spatulahandle tagged me, and it’s a good’n. So good, in fact, that I’m adding it to my “Know Thyself” category because I think I surprised my own self with some of my answers. I kept it real, though…
I am: therefore I think.
I think: therefore I am.
I know: not [...]

An Interesting Note: Alignment – Just a Thought

As I was doing the Daily Dose this morning, I realized that I’m about to encounter a unique alignment – everything will be as it was on the day I was born.  The Sun will be in Leo, the year according to Chinese astrology is the year of the rat, and the moon will be [...]

Another way of getting to know myself…

Here’s another old post/test I found in a former blog that I felt worthy of saving here…

Chakra Test

Years ago, I found an online chakra test, free, and the timing was just perfect because I’d recently been introduced to the concept of chakras and chakra healing. I’ve since bought a few books, read a few articles, and have enhanced my interest, although I’m far from being “knowledgable” on the subject. Eventually, I will [...]

The Amazing Adventures of Monkey Mind

Intro: This is an older piece, written years ago, inspired by a friend of mine in Nepal.  He taught me about a concept he calls “Monkey Mind”, and as a way to fully comprehend his story and apply its lessons to my life, I personified that Mokey and gave him a name.  I figured that [...]

Mission Statement

Intro: Years ago, I was involved in a creative writing spiritual workshop online. It was a one year course that changed my life forever. Each month, I’d receive a module with learning materials and assignments designed to inspire creative writing and spiritual growth. Some of the assignments included writing my own personal anthem, creating a [...]

Animal Instincts

My animal totems, as determined by a deck titled, “Medicine Cards: The Discovery of Power Through the Ways of Animals” by Jamie Sams & David Carson, illustrations by Angela C. Werneke.  The first card I drew was blank and required me to identify it, which was easy as Lion had not appeared elsewhere in my [...]
