Sitting and flitting

I rarely have an unscheduled day but today, I did.

A day to do whatever I feel like doing whenever I feel like doing it.

Started it off well as usual with #CeleryJuice (there is actually a new book coming out devoted entirely to the benefits of this: Medical Medium Celery Juice by Anthony William) and #HeavyMetalDetoxSmoothie (thank you for these, #MedicalMedium).

After that, it turned out to be a day of sitting and flitting from couch to computer to kitchen (#ilovealliteration) … I took periodic forays off the couch to do whatever popped into my head to do. I flitted from one thing to the next to the next without censoring my thoughts or impulses. Keep reading

The BRAVE Interview #32: Brenna Threatt

Welcome to this month’s BRAVE Interview with Brenna Threatt!

Hi!  I’m Brenna Threatt, the blogger behind The Great Wide Somewhere!

I started my blog because I love to travel and write. I’ve had incredible adventures while traveling and those experiences have convinced me that everyone should get out and explore the world.

Travel brings so many life lessons and unforgettable experiences.

I’ve been able to meet people around the world and have learned that everyone has a story to share. It saddens me that so many people miss out on opportunities like this.  I hope that my blog inspires people to travel and gives them the confidence necessary to create life-changing memories.

Even though I love to travel, it can be intimidating.  A couple of years ago, when I was newer to traveling, I had my first solo trip.  I was heading to South Africa to volunteer at a children’s home I had been to with a group previously.  This was already intimidating, but additionally, I had a layover for the whole day in London. I had always wanted to visit London and decided to use the layover time to explore the city.  In order to do this, I had to figure out what I wanted to see and how to navigate the Tube (London’s Metro) to get there. This was something I was determined to do, but it was still intimidating. Keep reading

Drift Away

I was scrolling through FB this morning and noticed this post on my friend Donna‘s page (by way of the Realm of the Witch‘s page):

I thought. oh, that was my dad’s favorite flower.

I scrolled some more and then I saw this post on Pieces of Soul FB page:

I thought, oh, that was one of my dad’s favorite songs.

I started wondering what the date was … and then I realized what was happening:

The Ides of March approacheth!

My father died on The Ides of March, March 15, 1998, about two years and two weeks after my mother died (both from cancer).

I realized that dad was saying Hello from Heaven!

So pay attention to the signs and symbols that come your way, or you might miss out on something important!
