Write a new script and change your life…and a give-away!

  Several weeks ago, I was looking for a blank notebook and found a dream that I’d written down a couple of years earlier, along with some letters I’d written (not intending to send) to various individuals whom I’d had problems with. Below is what I wrote about the dream, “I entered a beautiful room,…

The key, the lesson, and a give-away!

My mother has always been a giving person, especially with her children. lf one of us said to her, "I like the sweater you're wearing mom", she'd inevitably respond, "Do you want it?" or she'd just go change and come out wearing another top, while handing the one we'd admired to us. We've gotten into…

Resting in Love…..and a contest!

Over the past month or so, I've been working with the concept of assuming the perfection of everything. Several weeks ago, I received a call from a good friend (someone I thoroughly enjoy) saying they would be coming through town and wanted to get together. My first thought was "Oh darn it!". Just the day…

Give-away day! A tin of Mary’s Skin Survival Balm

I think it's about time for another give-away.  A tin of the skin balm that I make is the gift. To enter, just comment with an "impossible wish"...something that would be beyond your wildest dreams (but that you would love to see happen anyway). Have fun with this. Your comment can be as silly as…

Friendship, and a Blue Moon Giveaway!

Years ago, I was very good friends with a woman (who I really liked a lot) but she wasn't the first person I'd call when something wonderful happened for me. She struggled with life and so other people's victories or happiness felt unfair, or even like an unkind barb to her. As much as I…

… a little contest!

It's 9:30 in the morning and already 85 degrees. I slept until 7 a.m. (Fred finally woke me up) and I'm looking at all of our animals lying prostrate on the wooden parts of the floor. Slow down, relax, take a deep breath, don't rush, be easy with yourself today, seems to be the message....…

Saturday afternoon smile and give-away!

It is Saturday afternoon here in upstate NY. I met my mother for breakfast today. At the end of our visit, I was telling her about an order of incense that had just been delivered. It is my favorite, and so I order at least 10 packs at a time, because I burn it both…

Check it out...her work is beautiful and you could win a pair of earrings! Enter to win FREE Holiday Earring…

Giving and Receiving, and cashmere kitty blanket give away!

A few weeks ago I posted that I had made my own patchwork cashmere blanket from old sweaters and scarves, and then made one for my cats who adore it. I'm not sure who suggested it, but the idea was planted in my mind to make another kitty blanket (a lot less work than the…

Blessing our money…and a contest!

I had a love-hate relationship with money for much of my life. Money was a huge source of tension in my home growing up; the cause of endless arguments between my parents. And so without realizing it, I came to be suspicious of money; thinking that it was responsible for our unhappy home (so it…
