I was thrift shopping with my husband, something we often do. As we walked in, he went left, and I went right.
My gaze swept over the shelves and was immediately held.
I felt like she called me over. I didn’t make eye contact right away. I looked at everything around her before I allowed my eyes to fall directly on the figure.
Elen.
After I noticed Elen, the next thing I noticed was that she had antlers. Well, she had antler, singular. There was a left antler and then there was the space where the right antler used to be.
I put her down and walked away. As a recovering perfectionist, my first thought was, “Oh, I love her but I can’t buy her because she is broken.”
I walked away. I walked around a little. I felt anxious about leaving here there. Keep reading

I found this statue at a local thrift store a couple of months ago. I immediately felt it calling and as soon as I picked it up, I could not put it down.
Has this ever happened to you? It was an immediate, strong connection between me and the little statue. The angel is pictured with two children, a boy and a girl (is what I see), which is also what I have. Of course, this is probably a big part of what drew me to it. Anyway, I love it. I have been keeping it on my bureau where I see it frequently.
I checked it for any signature or markings that might identify where it came from, but there were none.
Imagine my surprise when I found another one very much like it at a Goodwill Store a couple of weeks ago!
It’s a sort of a mirror image of the first one. The colors are different, and the angel’s hands are in a different position, but otherwise they are so very alike! This second statue sits on my desk. Keep reading

As I mentioned in a prior post, I spent many hours reading the Nancy Drew mysteries when I was a girl, and I loved every one of them. As an adult, I have one of them on my book shelf currently. I chose to buy this one, The Mystery at Lilac Inn, because lilacs are my favorite flowers.
In one of the online courses I created, Go Back to Go Forward, we re-read a book from our girlhood now, to see how the perspective of adulthood changes our interpretation of the book and the insights gained from it. Keep reading

Some of my favorite books to read ever were the Nancy Drew Mysteries.
Usually I am not that excited when books are made into movies, never mind into a TV Series, but I was too curious to ignore the Nancy Drew one on the CW network.
I am not a fan of gruesome images or anything really scary on TV, both of which I found in this series.
I didn’t stop watching, though! I love the characters! I want them to be safe! I want to see how they figure things out!
If you can, watch this series. I recommend it. It’s fun. And scary! Here’s a tip if you are very nearsighted like me: Take your glasses off when you anticipate a scary scene (such as when the ghost will appear!) to take the edge off the fright. You’re welcome. Keep reading

My friend Holly, acupuncturist and yoga teacher extraordinaire, is offering a 3 Day (Free) Yin Yang Yoga Challenge.
I love a challenge!
I also love sleep.
This challenge requires getting up at 7am (almost dawn!) three days in a row, two of which I was planning on, um, not doing that.
Then I saw Holly’s FB live last night, inviting those of us who like to sleep in (me! me!) to consider getting out of bed early to participate live. What could I do?
She had my number, as they say.
Maybe she has yours, too.
It’s not too late to join! You participate from the comfort of your own home and no special props are required—you can truly come as you are. It lasts about half an hour. Watch (and practice along!) with the replay from this morning’s class, “I am worthy”, which is posted in the group. Then join us live this Saturday and Sunday (2/1/20 and 2/2/20) morning at 7am. Just join Holly Pelletier’s Facebook Group by clicking here: 3 Day Yin Yang Yoga Challenge Keep reading

After I finished Emily Dickinson’s Poetry for Kids, I looked around for some other Emily books. I found an article tailor made for me here on Book Riot, entitled
“10 BOOKS ABOUT EMILY DICKINSON TO READ AFTER WATCHING DICKINSON”
Exactly what I was looking for. I manifested what I wanted at almost the exact moment that I wanted it. Isn’t that awesome?
This led me to a book that sounded great, Emily Dickinson Beyond the Myth, but it was only available on Kindle, which is my least favorite way to read a book. And then I noticed that I somehow have been gifted with a Kindle credit which will more than cover the cost of the book! I sent a free sample to my phone and began reading it immediately and it drew me in completely. Keep reading
