Thank You 2014…..

it took losing my job for me to begin living.

most of my adult life has been spent obsessing over

money…or the lack of it. for me it was never about

keeping up with the Jones…it was about keeping a

roof over our heads…dependable transportation…and

food on the table. i lost my job through no fault of my

own. the day i was given my walking papers should 

have debilitated me with fear…but it didn't. i never once

got that chills in the gut feeling because i knew….i

KNEW... the Universe would provide for me…and it

has. i have been blessed many times over since then.

my days are now filled with art…books…long walks

and a wonderment for life. i am so thankful for my

blessings…and the more thankful i've become…the more

blessed i have been. this has been a wonderful year…

thanks for all the answers 2014….

I Need A Do Over….

There is an African proverb that says "When an old

man dies…a library burns to the ground." 

I was never blessed with a Teller of Stories in my family.

I collected bits and pieces of the more legendary family

tales through the years without ever sitting down to question

the whys..whens…and what fors…from my elders. As I

ease into my senescent years there are so many regrets for

all the unasked questions..the missing puzzle pieces…

the loss of my history. I am lucky enough to have the

family bible (above) with recorded births and deaths

of my Mothers family…but I want the stories…the day to

day living of life goings ons…the silly..the sad..the brave…

the cowardly…I want to know about all the blue highways 

on the map to this thing I call…me. 

I've waited until the last library has burned to the ground….

I need a do over..

dEaR SaNtA…...

Alice decided telling little white lies this time of year

couldn't hurt….

allowed my inner child to make an appearance

tonight with her unabashed drawing…

i miss her...

Oh Deer…..

I always like giving meaningful gifts…

especially something I've made myself.

This Christmas I called upon Deer Spirit

to help me with my gifting. I used cast off antlers…

once used to connect these beautiful animals to the

higher energies...and crafted this key chain…

some earrings…and a necklace… in hopes of

 imparting the Grace…Gentleness…and 

the Intuitiveness of Deer Spirit into the lives

 of the recipients. 

As they carry with them the Magic…

Sacredness... and Peace... of the forest..

I ask that Deer Spirit give them guidance

in their daily living of life.
