"Knowing others is

wisdom, knowing your-

self is enlightenment."

~Lao Tzu

Sooooo enjoy these bits

and pieces of wisdom

wherever I find them.

I acknowledge that the

bottom line would be to

accept and integrate them

into our souls.

As to knowing oneself,

methinks it takes an entire

lifetime. I'm still working

on it.

And, it's not only knowing

oneself, but understanding

the hows and whys this is.

I'm this way because . . .

   *my father taught me

   * mom used to do this

   *I left home too early

   * I lived abroad 20 years

   *my guy expects it of me

The question to ask would be,

"Am I this way because I was

taught, or sheer laziness, or

not paying attention to business?

I do know 'tis my wish to grow

and methinks this just might

require some good, hard work!

Philosopher considered to be

"Curious about what's

next. Grateful for what's

here. Glad to be alive

to see it. This is enough."

~empaths and old souls

So love and appreciate

special bits of wisdom

to be found almost any

where you look!

I get a kick out of past

events etched into my

memory. I enjoy living

my days in the here and

now. I pray I am gifted

a future.

As we have no idea of

our futures, best said 

to enjoy the hell out of

today . . .

 . . . and I sooooo intend

to do so!!!

Blessed be . . .

06/08/2026

My heart is full; my

hopes, prayers and

dreams sated . . .

Methinks I may just

be the luckiest mom

in the entire universe.

Watching my adult

children in conversation

with one another is such

a gift.

The laughter, the jibes,

the nods . . . all in good

fun and enjoyment.

Gratitude fills my heart.

Joy fills my soul. I am

sooooo in love with my

own children!

Blessed be . . .

"Experience the magical

power of joy. Turn ordinary

moments into extraordinary

moments." 

~muses for a mystic

Oh happy day . . .

I get to see my kids! And

that is turning an ordinary

Sunday into extraordinary

joy and bliss!

I feel like a teen on my

first date. I do wish we

all lived closer. Yet, we're

prob right where we need

to be.

Ever so thankful . . .

"A negative mind will

never give you a positive

life!" Empaths Empowered

A brilliant reminder . . .

Never been quite sure 

just how we fall into 

negativity.

Is it simply that we're 

not paying attention to

business? Might it be a

learned behavior from

our fams? Friends? One

thing for certain, 'tis not

a place I wish to reside!

Perhaps I need to take a

page out of Pavlov's Dogs

and prick myself when

I'm being negative.

I'm going to work on it!

Food for thought . . .

"Cornerstone Beliefs

1) sacredness of nature

2) reverence for ancestors

3) divine within ourselves"

Saw this on our infamous

FB . . . sooooo resonates 

with moi!

Methinks each of us have 

our three basic beliefs no 

matter the path we follow.

I like the idea of giving 

this some thought and 

sussing out my own.  

Most likely, won't differ 

much from these.

I much lament that most

of us hurry through life

trying to get everything

done, that we don't have

time to slow down. For

'tis in the slowing down

we can worship, honor

our beliefs.

I'm thinking! Thinking!

"You don't have a soul.

You are a soul; you have

a body." ~C.S. Lewis

I enjoy distinctions,

clarifications. This

one is perfect! Must 

be that Lang Arts teach 

in moi!

Can't help but wonder . . .

Recognizing we are

souls rather than just

bodies . . . would that 

make us more watchful?

More careful? More

responsible?

For me, that works. Alas

I don't pay much attention

to the bod. But, the soul

matters most greatly.

Methinks I need a look-see

into this particular vocab

and have a talk with myself!

   I am a soul . . .

   I have a body!

Wow! Just W O W !!!

"My cup runneth over."

~Psalms 23

So many sweet souls

in my life! I am ever

blest.

Kin and friends, from

far and near, enter my

door bringing bright

blessings.

How did I ever get so

lucky?! As I'm not to

drive due to Petit Mal

Seizures, I am beyond

pleased and grateful

loved ones come to moi.

I feel like doing a dance

of gratitude. Alas, at 100

years old, sooooo not

happening!

Love to you and courage

to me . . .

Blessed be.

So like the beginnings

of each day . . .

Checking my to do list,

wondering what the day

may bring. Some things

planned; others unexpected.

Today is one of those days.

It's so pretty outside and

I know we're expecting

rain at some point.

My old friend and a new

friend coming over. This

indeed makes my day.

What will we chat about?

Surely I will learn some

new things . . .

Just what I love about 

a new day . . . all the

unexpected bringing joy

to the party!!!

Just wait and see . . .

06/01/2026

'Tis morn of the day

after . . . and oh what

a day it was! Still feel

great.

Makes me wonder if

we shouldn't plan for

joy as each day awakes.

One of the things I love

about getting older is

the pleasure the little

things bring me.

   -a rainy afternoon

   -sitting outside

   -listening to music

   -visits from loved ones

   -enlightening moments

Thirty days of June await.

I intend to enjoy the whole

of it . . .

05/31/2026 - Blue Moon

"A blue moon refers to the

presence of a second full

moon in a calendar month."

~Wikipedia

So love me a blue moon!

I honor the scientific side,

but I do enjoy the romance

of a blue moon. After all,

they only occur once in a

blue moon. Ha!

Glad the weather will be

nice as I'd like to sit out 

a while in the afternoon.

I'll honor the blue moon

and make three wishes.

They will be special. 

The child within anxiously

awaits . . .

Happy Blue Moon!

"When I'm an old lady

I want to be one of those

women that has a cabin

full of plants, weird rocks

and crystals. That just

minds her own business

with her crazy hair."

~Witch, Crone Shaman,

and Sage

Actually, methinks I have

arrived! I don't tend to

think of myself as an old

lady, but I guess I am.

I've got the plants, rocks

and crystals. And God and

sundry all know about the

crazy hair.

If you need a crone witch

experience, come on by

for a brewski under my

fave tree . . .

"Those who take the

scenic route because 

it's prettier, keep smooth 

stones from special places,

and feel better after a rain

storm - I see your magic."

~Earthy Herbs

Ahhhhh, just my special

kind of magick!

I so love and honor that

part of my home that

bleeds into the forest! 

I find healing simply 

by observing the beauty

provided by our Mother.

I get that we're all diff.

Some like living in the

midst of a city whilst

others wish to be as 

far away as possible.

There are those who

live in condos, others

in high rises, oceans

and mountains as well.

I find it both amazing

and lovely  . . . all the

different tastes and

enjoyment . . .

Sending some happy!!!
