Weekends - Fall/Winter November 2025 - February 2026

Through Fall and Winter I tried to capture at least one picture for the vibe of the day. My intention was to practice a moment of connection. While the season brought various feelings, as life usually does and should, I did sense my gratitude and comfort more by capturing the cozy moments in life. Here they are...click on "Read More" to see captions with photos.

Plant Blessing

Plants bless us in many ways...... The food we eat   How we show someone we love them Sending thoughts in times of Grief Medicine / Herbalism Ceremonial Beauty all around us Mutual sharing of life. They breathe out and we breathe in. Clothing  Protecting  Crafting The joy of blessing plants is the practice of noticing what we might have taken for granted. Seeing how small, simple in the tiniest crevice and how huge it is, complex and woven into everything. To be mindful of the earth, our source, our home. And there can be a justice element - how we care for our plants is how we care for each other. To push back on our greed and our striving, and to reject the ways we might ask others to toil and labor thanklessly for us.   How can we be kind and grateful? To see the beauty and the blessing and not ask for too much.  We remember that every harvest won’t be perfect.    We sit with the sad parts too - hunger, pests, sharing with rascally animals we d...

Pet Blessing Recap

Hello Neighborhood, It was a privilege and a joy to share a blessing for the animals on this past Earth Day!  With my candle lit, and representations of sky, sea, and ground -- for all the dwellings -- I lead a loving-kindness meditation.   I wanted to share a link to the Instagram story. But I'm sorry to report I had a technology fail and lost it.  Nevertheless, I'm grateful to the moments I had to honor dear friends and the animals you care about. 💚  A Blessing... May our pets near and far be happy, well, and peaceful.   May the farm and ranch, therapy, and service animals be happy, well, and peaceful.   For the critters that live in or visit our yards, may they be happy, well, and peaceful. For the interconnected relationships between all creatures, humanity, and the Earth, we are grateful. May we all be happy, well, and peaceful.

Cheer Up the Lonely Day

Yesterday, July 11 was "Cheer up the Lonely Day."  I found this out while looking online for what do people celebrate in July.  It seems like any day can be a "DAY." And the national days range from profound to absurd.  I've heard of Umbrella Day, Pi Day, Star Wars Day, Talk like a Pirate Day, etc etc etc... Anyhow, I was glad to learn that "Cheer up the Lonely Day" is a thing, because it seems like the kind of thing we need right now.  There are so many chances to be lonely.  Many of us are maintaining physical distance, limiting our in person gatherings, avoiding normalcy crowds, spending time on video meetings - holding a carefully crafted paying attention persona.  Many of us are grieving losses that provide chances to feel isolated.  Many of us experience fear and anxiety about the future.  I am wondering: What does life look like in this odd reality of an ongoing pandemic?  What kind of grief and loss is yet to come? One of the ma...
