Mabon, and Zinfandel
Mabon was September 21st; the Autumn Equinox is today. Since they celebrate the same thing, the balance of light and dark in the sky, it's strange they aren't celebrated on the same day, but there you go. According to Scott Cunningham and his Wicca - A Guide for...
Comfort Food in Trying Times
When the world is in an uproar, there's something about cooking that, for me, is comforting. Even better is when the recipe takes simple ingredients and a bit of work - chopping, stirring, cooking time over an hour or so. This past weekend I indulged and cooked two...
Ah, the beautiful grape…

Radiating Positivity
There are some people who are always seeking joy. For the optimists, and I definitely include myself in that group, everything will always work out. The money will be there, the vacation will happen, the book will sell. If it doesn't work out in the way they hope,...

Whoops! A day late…
This whole working during the day thing is tiring, you know? I was going to post the blog yesterday, and I lost my new password. So I went to sleep, instead. Today I was up and gone before the birds I think. No, not really, but it felt like it. So the blog didn't...
