Drama? Child please!

Ever notice those people either on the fringes of your life or even in the midst of it that like to keep drama and chaotic energy flowing?  I’ve been a spectator to it for some time now and one has to wonder exactly what benefit do they derive from it?  Is it that they like … Continue reading

To teach or not to teach

To teach or not to teach, that is the question…forgive me for semi-invoking the bard, but have been privy to several conversations in the past month in which people discuss whether or not to teach their children about their path.  So I decided to chime in with my 2 cents worth. My feeling is that … Continue reading

Tell me

Can someone please explain to me the need for people’s one-upmanship?  I mean, no matter what the conversation. there will invariably be someone who is smarter, prettier, more devout, has the best house, car, dog,( insert your favorite  noun here).  Is there some gene I am lacking that makes me care less?  I mean seriously…I … Continue reading

Pride Goeth Before……

I’m sure at one time or another you have heard the saying/scripture..pride goeth before a fall..In truth the proverb says Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. But what does that mean exactly, and why am Iwriting about such things?  Well biblically, it means to not be so proud that you … Continue reading

Unity?

We’ve all seen the causes button posted by people or invited to them on the social medias.  We’ve had experience somewhere with people panhandling for some group or charity in order to get more money in the hopes of furthering their good deeds.  So how do you feel about them?  For myself, I am not … Continue reading

Sometimes there are days when it feels like life is not all it’s cracked up to be.  The drudgery of work, bills, family(yeah especially family) hammers at us, and our psyche takes a hit.  It causes us to try and hold back tears, the harsh words that are so easily formed when the ignorant cross … Continue reading

Where is the magic?

I’ve been thinking about a lot of things lately, and of course convos from various places always makes me do so, which in itself is a good thing.  So some of the conversations have been about magic, tools and how one uses them.  I know what I do for myself personally, and while it works … Continue reading

Yeah, Life or whatever

It has been a wild day of mishaps today, and some ever stranger conversations.  I could blame it on the fact the mercury is going into retrograde tomorrow, or that there is a VOC occurring as well, and while i was joking about that with a friend on twitter, I know better.  I’ve told ya’ll … Continue reading

In support of freedoms

Yesterday a friend sent me an invite to the “paint your toenails pink” event happening on Sunday.  I usually paint my toes, and while pink isn’t my usual color, I accepted.  Why?  I know some who say, “putting cartoons in support of children of abuse, or painting nails etc, doesn’t cure anything”..They are exactly right. … Continue reading

“We look just like everybody else”

I’ve run across some crazy comments lately on Facebook as well as outside the digital realm.  All of them have centered around the religious context of people’s beliefs.  Some feel that people wearing certain jewelry tells them exactly what their path is, i.e. pentacle means Wiccan or pagan, cross means christian, star of David means Jewish.  Pretty good assumptions I … Continue reading
