Favorite Holiday
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? Definitely Halloween. I have always adored the fall season, the heat is dying off and the winds picking up, leaves are turning colors and the air smells crisp and full of the promise of winter. I remember the horrible 1970’s and 1980’s Halloween costumes that […]

Have I Ever Been Camping?
Have you ever been camping? It’s hard to imagine that anyone would say they have never been camping. I love camping. Some of my few treasured childhood memories are of us going camping when I was really little and all the way up to my teens. Camping is a big part of our lifestyle. My […]

A Random Stranger
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you. In the mid 90’s me and my rainbow sister decided to go to the National Rainbow Gathering in Indiana. My sister’s birth name/dead name was Jennifer but her Rainbow name is Willow. She is from Kentucky and on our way to the […]

Where I Would Never Want to Visit?
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? I think France or Germany. No real reason other than I really don’t like the French language at all, and I find French people to be smug, rude, judgmental and arrogant. Germany is a funny one because I speak German and Germans like […]

Beans and Pico
I’m making a vegan organic bean and pico dinner tonight. I thought I would share some of it. Me and my Husband are preparing to live off grid so he bought a great little chopper. It’s not electric and very efficient and cute. But…. It turned my pico into salsa 😂 So, I started out […]

Excercising
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I love to move, I love working out and going to the gym. Of course, I have a list. But what’s most important is to find what you like and are capable of doing and go with it. I love working out at the YMCA, hiking, running, biking, […]

Something named after me?
If you could have something named after you, what would it be? This is something I have never thought about. I was named after a Beatles song and I’ve always hated my name and the song. Me and my Husband are in the process of getting my first name legally changed. I have been the […]

What makes me laugh
What makes you laugh? Innocence; my new grandson wide eyed and looking at the world with new eyes. My granddaughters dancing with me to Disney Princess songs, rain, my Husband and his antics, bees, Monty Python and my adult children.

The Way Things Were.
First I want to say what inspired this post. We were watching The Haunting in Connecticut 2, Ghosts of Georgia and, at the end of the movie, they show pictures of the actual family. Who, however, are all overweight. But the movie has cast skinny and buff actors, they look nothing like the actual people […]

Secret skill or ability?
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? Ohhh this is a fun one! I’m an intuitive empath: For most of my adult life I can sense, feel, read and understand other people’s feelings, emotions, motivations and intentions. I’m extremely talented at tarot due to this and I’m often able to […]

My Favorite Type of Weather?
What is your favorite type of weather? Storms. The scarier and harder the better! I love them all; rain, sleet, ice, snow, wind and hail. I love all storms. I love the heavy rain and winds that come with hurricanes , it excites me. I like moody, dark and brooding weather. Fog and rain, the […]

My most influential teachers and why.
Who was your most influential teacher? Why? I normally just say life was my best teacher. Growing up ugly, dirt poor and basically neglected in rural Appalachia in the 70’s and 80’s taught me more than any teacher could. My school was kindergarten to 8th grade all in the same building. No middle school. I […]

This years Dahlia.
Every year I plant a Dahlia tube/bulb. They’ve been multiple colors over the years. Dahlias are pretty much my favorite flower and I take great care and pride in my plants each year. This year is a ‘Color Spectacle’. What a beautiful color. I’m already in love with this flower. Planting a Dahlia has been […]

One word that describes me?
What is one word that describes you? Esoteric or Arcane. I’m not understood by many people, I’m not everyone’s cup of tea and I’m fine with that. We aren’t meant to be loved by everyone and we aren’t meant to love everyone. Sometimes the energy, vibes, attitude or whatever is just off and we don’t […]

Am I superstitious?
Are you superstitious? In a word…. YES. It’s not the stereotypical superstitions like walking under a ladder or black cats but I do hold to some superstitions that hold from my home place. Covering mirrors and stopping the clocks when someone passes away. Open a window when someone passes away so the spirit can get […]
