  • Books-A-Million

    As I wrote about earlier, books have always been a great teacher for me. Although I used to enjoy an occassional fiction novel, for most of my life, I find that I gravitate toward non-fiction. Must be that Scorpio Moon and 3rd house Mercury conjunct Saturn (my chart ruler) — trying to solve for x;…

  • Lake Odessa

    It’d been two years since we vacationed with our besties in Chicago. Even though it’s tough to find a time that works for everybody, we were determined to get together this year! I found an affordable Vrbo that would accommodate our group of 12 about 1/2 way between Chicago and Detroit in a little town…

  • One Cool Dude

    Born too Late — Died too Young As little kids we would dance on the living room orange shag carpet to the music of the Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, and Elvis PresleyJim and the neighborhood boys would hide behind the garbage cans and shoot dry peas through straws as cars drove byHe dressed up as…

  • California

    Every summer, we try to do a nice vacation. And since COVID had begun we hadn’t gone anywhere out-of-state for a couple years. So this year, once things were safer and we were all vaccined-up, we chose to spend 10 days in California! I was able to find us a nice cute condo to rent…

  • Canadian Soul Sisters

    In between my knee surgery and our home renovations, I found the time to continue on my spiritual quest. After my last session with Diane Hiller, she recommended Bridget Saraka, Canadian Feng Shui Expert and Intuitive Practitioner. Bridget’s website is amazing and her social presence is just beautiful. She shares so much of herself, opening…

  • Home Renovation

    In the Spring of ’21 we FINALLY updated our 1980’s OG bathroom. You know the look. I can almost hear the builders, “Hey, let’s just use whatever we have left over from the 70’s that nobody wants anymore; beautiful limeade green and white with basic $10 fixtures, a rusty medicine cabinet and a giant mirror…

  • A Pain in the Neck, Vaccines & 12th Surgery

    As I sit down to write this post, I’m wondering, ‘How do I segway from writing about my spiritual awakening/journey to writing about the day-to-day Bullshit of “real” life? ‘ Then I thought of that funky song from the 80’s by Soul II Soul ~~ Back to Life, Back to Reality, Back to the Here…

  • Diane

    For the next stop along my journey, I was interested in meeting with someone who could provide more insight into my medical issues. I went back to the Best Psychic Directory and this time I focused the search for a medical intuitive and booked a session with Diane Hiller. Since Diane lives in Connecticut, the…

  • Gayle

    After doing some searching, I stumbled upon a website called Best Psychic Directory. I know it sounds very cheesy, but after looking around the site for a while, I decided it was my best chance. I filtered my search by experience and reviews and read many bios. In January 2021, after a few stops and…

  • Spirit

    To assist in my climb out of that deep dark hole I had sunken into, I decided to turn back towards Spirituality to aid in my search for answers and perhaps some healing. But, let me back up here and give you an overview of my non-religious upbringing. My Mother’s parents were Polish Catholic. They…

  • Hello God Are You There? It’s Me Jen

    By the end of 2020, I was deep down the rabbit hole of self-pity and depression, as mentioned in my previous post, Dark Night of the Soul. I needed to get help. Months prior, my rheumatologist had given me the name of a social worker who was also her patient but I hadn’t called. I…

  • Bernie

    A little levity is always welcomed!

  • Dark Night of the Soul

    2020 was a very difficult year for me. Starting out with that awful elbow revision in January from COVID-19 forcing all of us indoors into our shared spaces with little to do except drive each other CRAZY, to my summer of high blood pressure, hot flashes, and failed ACDF surgery, and not to mention I…

  • “Let’s Get the Hell Out of Here!”

    I love this comic! Two of my favs join forces in this amazing creation! (I have no idea who the artist is – but I want to say Thank You!) And the most perfect statement for the end of 2020!!!

  • Fall 2020

    Oh Fall, my favorite time of the year. It’s not hot it’s not cold. It is absolutely beautiful outside. The sun is shining and the leaves are turning and Mother Nature is getting ready to hibernate. Halloween, Pumpkin Spice, kids go back to school, mama has alone time. What could possibly be better than all…

  • A Better Pain Scale

    So, somewhere a while back I came across this revised pain scale. I just had to print it out and save it. It now hangs in my studio. The creator is Allie Brosh, the genius behind Hyperbole and a HalfTM. I may just have to make copies and take to all my doctor appointments!
