How much is that doggie?


I met a doggie at Zen and Company that my friends Sue and Don are fostering. A troubled dog. A dog that was in trouble. The kind of dog that probably wouldn’t be the first choice of many people to take home. An imperfect dog. Flawed.

Her name? Here’s the thing: whenever I think, What’s her name? I immediately hear, “Ivy”. But that’s not her name.

Her name is Piper Sage. Piper Sage is the luckiest unlucky dog in the world, because she is now with Sue and Don, who have big compassionate hearts that are wrapping Ivy–I mean Piper–in love and protection and support right now. They have done it before for other dogs, and they will surely do it again for new, as yet unmet, dogs.  Lucky dogs. Keep reading

On the right track?

I get a lot of my big ideas near the water, and often that means at the ocean.  One particular day when I was dreaming big and wondering if it was too big, I asked the Universe, “Am I on the right track with this?”

I kept listening for an answer, and the signs arrived pretty soon thereafter. I saw a mussel shell, a small one, that reminded me of my childhood when I often spent summer days at Nantasket Beach with my grandmother. I collected these shells and kept them in a shoebox on her front porch. Keep reading

Should I or shouldn’t I?

Pendulum

Have you ever been in a decision-making quandary? Should I stay or should I go? Is this good or is this bad? Should I do it now or should I wait?

A pendulum can be a handy (no pun intended 🙂 ) tool to come to your rescue. This chakra quartz crystal pendulum came from Lavish Earth. I wasn’t looking for a pendulum that day, but (as so often happens), this pendulum was looking for me.

I love it when things like that happen!

To clear your crystal pendulum of any unwanted or stagnant energy (either when you first bring it home or when it’s not giving you clear answers), you have several options. Today, I am clearing my pendulum by leaving it out in the sunlight for a while. That’s all. Keep reading

The 81st day of my first 100 days of GRACE

I was driving with my daughter this morning on a quick errand, when she asked me this question:

Izzy: What is the significance of June 19th?

Me: Why do you ask?

Izzy: It’s been on my mind and I can’t think of what it means.

Me: It’s your great grandmother Emily’s birthday.  

Nana Emily

Izzy’s middle name is Emily. so I reminded her that this is my grandmother whom she was named for. Next, I mentioned that I had a dream about that Nana a few days ago.

And then this  happened: A black pick up truck passed us with the license plate: GRACE Keep reading
