Sweeping Change(s).....
Memorial Day, the unofficial start of the summer. Seasonal changes can sometimes signal or reflect personal ones as well, and with the coming eclipses predicating some sweeping transitions and transformations in June, well, I couldn’t think of a more perfect way of welcoming these new energies than by cleaning up some old ones.
Literally.
See, an equally important part of enlisting and...
The Answers My Friends Are Blowin' in The Wind...
Dear Lord how cute were those toddlers on IDOL in their prom outfits last night. BUT how much cuter is Tim McGraw…and what about that Steven Tyler gettin’ all up in it? But, by far, the most fun I’ve had with ANY show this season (yes harpy housewives….MORE fun than watching you!) was when the boys did their homage to TOM JONES and then he came out on stage looking...
WINNING! DUH!
I want to marry Hines Ward. So happy he won Dancing. He deserved it. And Kirstie deserved to be right by his side since she hung in every step of the weigh. She’s hanging with some boy swag too so good on her! I didn’t watch Biggest Loser, unless you count Kirstie, but know that they had their finale last night too. I thought Glee’s season ending episode was a bust, but,...
Coincidence? I think NO.........
This is how it happened, in this order.
Last week, late in the week, I felt really compelled…really, really, really compelled to pull a Lakota Medicine card from a deck that I’ve had since I studied Native American medicine over twenty years ago. I actually have not used this prophetic deck since I’ve moved into this house almost a decade ago, so, I didn’t even know...
In a jam.......
This day has just flowed and flowed and flowed some more. Just like honey. And it’s been equally as sweet. Started first thing when my son and I had a long talk about whether or not he will go to the Governor’s School for Visual Arts next year or whether he should wait until the following one. We had a meeting with his gifted resource adviser at his school about this yesterday...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDHA!
The Full Moon in Taurus celebrates the birth of Buddha. Theosophists and philosophical thinkers of the New School way of thinking actually aided and abetted celebrating this sacred event by establishing the Wesak Festival. It is believed that during this particular and specific time there is an unusual flow of life and spiritual stimulation which serves to vitalize all of humanity. An annual...
Full Moon and YOU!
ARIES: This Full Moon holds the answer to a persistent and plaguing problem if you persevere and think outside the box. There may just be something sweet for your heart as well….May 17 Full Moon + Aries = Sweet Heart!
TAURUS: This Full Moon brings you FREEDOM and, yes, more changes. But these changes lead to MORE FREEDOM. Stop being all Patty Hearst and SLA and get moving into the...
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Waters......
Did you see Paul Simon on Saturday Night Live? Maybe you didn’t know it was him because you didn’t recognize him, Lord knows I didn’t. Recognize him I mean. Look, we’re all getting older and some of us might opt for a little extra help every now and then but when you go all Clint Eastwood/Kenny Rogers and TOTALLY change your appearance, well, all I can say is Sixty...
The Long Arm of the LAW..........
I try to walk between 2 and 4 miles everyday and I try to do that to clear and cleanse my head, my heart, my mind while asking and opening to inspiration for what I should write on the blog post of the day. Today, however, that inspiration was elusive. Oh, I was marveling at the beauty of the trees along the bike path and listening to the birds and stopping and smelling roses (literally) along...
Gonna Take A Sentimental Journey......
My good friend Beth’s email to me first thing this morning started out by saying, “Oh Ellen, I can’t believe my first born, my baby, is graduating from college this weekend!” She went on to share that they were leaving this afternoon to head to Virginia Tech for said graduation this weekend with whole family in tow. It seems like yesterday that her son was here helping...
Lighting the Way for Home Sales....
So I met with Dee Carstens at the local Long and Foster Real Estate branch that she runs up at the beachfront yesterday and had a lovely ‘How to Use Shui to Sell That House’ seminar before heading back to the office to meet with Sarah and Tammy about the ever expanding newly redesigned website and the new Shape Shifting products. I have to tell you, and I mean this sincerely...
LOVE-ly Sunday~
We’re not alone here in Virginia as far as having some of the best friends in the whole wide world. In fact, these past few weeks have proven very busy trying to lend a hand or two while my friends Mary and John planned a big ole bash for John’s birthday on this past Saturday night. They live right next door to us and we are so close that we call my house the West Wing and theirs...

I align with Fire, Air, Earth and Water

Who's Mom's favorite now????
Three small but healthy rosemary plants positioned on a kitchen windowsill is said to bring female financial independence. Violet incense is called ‘The Happy Incense’ because it’s believed to lift both spirit and mood and bring a feeling and sense of serene contentment and calm. Burned in the FAME area it also brings recognition and rewards. Two stalks of bamboo in a white...
Ty ala Charlie Sheen......WINNING!
“Having a great weekend at home. Taking long walks with the family, having great friends visit, and enjoying the beautiful weather. Ty is feeling good and getting stronger. Today he can lift his left arm and he’s moving his feet much better. He’s eating like such a big boy, too”
Those few powerful sentences were lifted straight off Ty Louis Campbell’s Facebook...
I Believe the Children Are Our Future.....
Tomorrow I am going to share an entire blog about Ty’s cancer battle (for those of you new to our loving and supportive community, Ty Louis Campbell is a little boy battling a big cancer who we are following, supporting, praying for and all around sending all of our love to!) I will talk about kids and health and also about cancer and about a great book that my even greater friend (and...
