04/30/2026 - Día del Niño

He de confesar que mis

nenes ya son adultos.

Pero, siempre serán mis

nenes.

Bien me acuerdo mis

años en México cuando

celebrábamos esta fecha

tan especial.

Supongo que los nuestros

que viven aquí hacen algo

especial. Lamentablemente,

no creo que los gringitos

tengan algo parecido.

Recuerdo a los míos, mis

estudiantes, y hasta los

niños que veo en la calle.

Tal vez lo más importante

es que nosotros nunca

debemos olvidar el niño

en nuestras entrañas . . .

Felicidades!

"Silence isn't empty,

it's full of answers.

~Empaths Empowered

So need the silence!

Days I think I'm going

to go crazy with all the

surrounding noise.

The semis, trucks and

cars going by make the

most. There are some

kids in the neighborhood

that have revved up their

engines and they are

indeed amazing.

Where does one purchase

a tad of silence, a bit of

peace?

Alas, in today's world,

might not even exist . . .

"Moments of nature...

a dollop of salve for

the ache, a balm for

scarring wounds, a

bandage for the breaks."

~A. Shea

Oh how I love, admire,

adore, like, revere our

Mother Nature!!!

Queen of the Universe

and Mother to my soul.

I find myself hurting 

and sitting out with her

heals my soul!

Let's see how we can 

thank her . . .

   -Maybe throw a little

trash out the window?

   -Perhaps just leaving

pet fecal matter behind?

   -Possibly leaving camp

fires unattended?

Methinks this entire loving

Mother Earth needs a good

looking at!

Loving her means taking

care of her. Means paying

attention to business. Alas,

we are going to pay a very

high price for our sins

against her!!!

Blessed be . . .

"Nothing is more impor-

tant than empathy for

another human being's

suffering. Nothing. Not

career, not wealth, not

intelligence, certainly

not status. We have to

feel for one another if

we're going to survive

with dignity."

~Audrey Hepburn

Obviously, I'm a fan . . .

She had such wisdom

in her soul. Not some-

thing I usually attribute

to the screen.

She makes me wonder . . .

Where is that much 

needed empathy today?

I'm old enough that I've

been through the whole

"You", "Us", "We", "Me"

generations, have actually

witnessed the changes

these have brought about.

I'd like to see quite a bit

more inclusion. How to

make it happen? 

Methinks it must begin 

at home . . .

04/26/2026

Oh what a glorious day!

I so enjoy catching up

with my LH Triad and

friend.

We ate, drank and made

merry . . . whilst talking

our hearts out.

My cabin is named after

Lady Hekate. Known for

standing at the three-way

crossroads, and my cabin

sits at a three-way as well.

Knowing these women 

for about 40 years has 

a true, true blessing. And,

I am ever so grateful!

Blessed be . . .

"I love people who 

teach me something 

new, expand my mind,

talk to me about the

universe." ~Unknown

So many blessings, so

little time . . .

Even during the months of

SAD (Seasonal Affective

Disorder) I find such beauty

around me, such love, fab

people.

I hear about betrayal and 

yes, I've known it. But in

reality, I've had such an

amazing life, phenomenal

children, wondrous years

of teaching.

Obviously, I'm repeating

myself over and over again.

Methinks this has to do

with entering my ending

years and finding gratitude

for this gift called life.

I pray I enjoy every day 

I'm gifted . . .

Blessed be.

"Light up a candle, 

read books, buy yourself 

presents, do whatever you

want. This is your life." 

~Goddess Love

Having a look-see, as it 

were. Indeed, I have had 

and do have a happy life. 

I've been blest with my

children, family, friends. 

I still cherish my forty 

years of teaching in two

countries. And now, I've

reached my elder years.

Although there are those

odd aches and pains, I

find I am ever so grateful

to be here . . . alive and

well-ish.

Here's hoping for another

few . . .

Blessed be!

"What a privilege it is

to wake up and have

another day to better

yourself."

~Goddess Love

Perhaps, 'tis the fate 

of Libras to constantly

seek truth and growth, 

try for improvement,

and balance the scales.

Certainly, we all work

hard to become better

people, better souls, on

a daily basis. 

Can't help but wonder 

if we're born that way. 

Might have something

to do with. how we

were reared or even 

the choices we made

along the way.

I pray I be gifted many

a year yet. Still, when

my time comes, I hope

I'm seeking growth.

Blessed be . . .

04/22/2026, Earth Day

My guy and I were

20 when Earth day

was implemented.

Scary! Guess we are

oldies  . . . I was in old

Mexico at the time for

three years, staying

another 17. My favest

20!

Creating Earth Day

has to be one of the

singular most impor-

tant logros of the

20th century.

I so appreciate the

awareness it brings

home to us.

Let's all do something

really special today . . .

pick up a bag of trash,

plant a few lovelies

and enjoy this gift

from Mother Earth!

Blessed be . . .

"Earth day is celebrated

annually on April 22 

to demonstrate global 

support for environs

protection. Founded in

1970 by Sen Gaylord

Nelson, now mobilizes 

over 1 billion people in 

193 countries."

"Fear doesn't stop 

death. It stops life."

~Heksen en Druiden

I've commented before . . .

Been fearless my entire

life. Yet now that I'm

nigh onto a hundred, I

find myself fearful.

Can't help but wonder

what that's all about. Do

I feel helpless somehow?

Thank God I still have

my mind . . . as I need

to give this some thought.

"The Earth laughs in

flowers."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

So love running across

these bits of simple

wisdom of yesteryear.

I fear our Mother is sad

just now. We're filling 

the earth with tons and

tons of waste. 

Do we really need tens

of thousands of water

bottles? Fast food pkgs?

Things that could be

recycled? Repurposed?

Let's make Mother Earth

smile again . . . any way

we can!

"Let yourself be silently

drawn by the strange pull

of what you really love.

It will not lead you astray."

~Rumi

Methinks we are drawn

by these thoughts our

entire lives. Yet, perhaps

we don't comprehend

them 'til our elder years.

I find it interesting . . .

how much understanding

and enlightenment we

gain as our own bodies

begin their descent into

age.

Days I'm wishing I could

have both at the same time.

Alas, 'tis not to be. Still . . .

 . . . just ever so joyful to

be here, to be alive!

Blessed be . . .

"There is a sun within

every person." ~Rumi

. . . and all I have to do

is fine mine!

Lunar lady that I am, 

I still love Mr. Sun! 

Love this . . . my guy

is all about the sun

and yet he checks out

the moon. I'm all about

the moon, yet still love

the sun.

Perfect couple?! You

bet!!!

'Tis only 18°, day just

beginning, but we're

supposed to get some

decent sun today!

Yayyyyy us . . .
