Perspective of a Goddess in Training
I can’t resist posting a link to my eldest daughter’s blog. The title alone was intriguing. Her story relates to the battle that exists between conforming and telling her truth. In this case she conforms in person and tells her truth to the world. Kind of ironic. I Didn’t Get Dumped and Nobody Died
My Guys in Action
As you may have figured out from other posts, the male species is a bit sparse around our place. So in addition to the claim I’ve staked in Hunky Farmer Boy, there’s a wee bit of a claim staked in another middle-aged male. I should probably introduce him to you. Actually, you met him a …
Intuition: It's Been Here All Along
Of the many changes that have staked their claim over me in recent years, the one that I am delighting in most is the realization that I am an intuitive person. Apparently I have been all along. I just didn’t know it until now. I owe a debt of gratitude to some extremely beautiful women …
The Clothes Line Murderer
This is my sweet man, Hunky Farmer Boy. He’s the lone source of testosterone amidst a sea of about five dozen females of various species. I think you’ve met previously. This is Hunky Farmer Boy on his Tonka Toy. (This is where you hear the Tim the Toolman Taylor grunting sounds.) For reasons never fully …
This Woman Knows Her Business
After spending the better part of two months dreading the upcoming horse show season, it arrived kicking and screaming early Saturday morning. It was preceded by an insanely expensive shopping spree at Cavender’s where every last penny of Daughter #3’s stock show money (plus plenty of mine) was surrendered to their cash register. And at …
Truth Telling and Confused German Shephards
I admit it. Telling the truth is hard for me. No, no. It’s not that I am a pathological liar. Although I think I probably was….when I was five. But I grew out of that by the time I was about….uh…..married? And I only used it to get what I wanted……and keep my tail out …
Natural-ly, Powerful-ly, Amazingly Smiley
Several months ago, I worked through a book by Danielle LaPorte called Style Statement: Live by Your Own Design. I rock when I am living 80% Natural, 20% Powerful. You’ll have to read it understand what that means. Trust me, it’s cool mojo. This time of year really makes me want to step up to …
Elephants are Stalking Me, but They Aren't Pink So I'm Still Sane
A few days ago, I mentioned some Wound-Licking, Truth-Telling, and Under-the-Bed-Clearing that I felt like needed my attention. That began a series of dialogs with some close friends about how best to gently but effectively lance and lick those wounds without causing major collateral damage. Two important facts here: 1) I’m good at generating collateral …
Wound-Licking, Truth-Telling, and Under-the-Bed-Clearing
Four years ago, my spiritual life changed radically. Four years ago, much of what had always been constant, solid, and unchanging changed. Four years ago, feelings were hurt, heads were butted, and backs were turned. Four years ago, I had to step away from something rather than try to fix it. Apparently it wasn’t mine …
