Slowly, I am coming out of deep winter dreaming… Catching a whiff of spring in the air, noticing more light in the evenings, and creative ideas percolating…
What are you noticing?

This morning I recorded a little vlog at the river. In just under three minutes I muse on meditation and the wisdom of the water. Water is such a powerful messenger…
Wishing you a magical October!
Pumpkins, long walks in crunchy leaves, hot apple cider, and witchy stories. Threshold words—liminal spaces, thin veil, spooky, witchy, betwixt & between, mystery & enchantment. It’s all wrapped up in the same feeling essence as secret passages, the game of clue, hidden places, ghost stories, seances & black cats. They evoke such magical feelings. When we are unafraid of whatever is scary or strange we are actually having fun! Can we embrace darkness? How do we balance the light? Can we approach more oddities and unusual things in life with this kind of open-minded playfulness?
Today, instead of writing to you, I recorded a 2 minute reflection on balance…
And, here’s a 2 minute autumn mood making video to put you in tune with pulse of the season!
It’s my favorite season!! May yours be filled with magic!!
Museums make me feel like a time traveler. My favorite kind are the self-guided, pay by donation, outdoor walk through immersive displays. My kiddo and I stumbled across one such amazing old western museum in Winthrop, Washington. The small town has wooden boardwalks, old-timey building facades, and a real western vibe.
We enjoyed all of the shops and ate a great meal at a last legally operating saloon in Washington before stumbling onto the museum.
The Shafer Museum sits atop a hill overlooking the town. Original buildings, mining equipment, and all sorts of original artifacts are on display.
I found myself wondering what life would have been like in the days of this grand sleigh!
In the print shop I found relics that I recognized from my own childhood when my folks ran a graphics art center. They used an old printing press with antique blocks. I still have some stashed around here someplace. As soon as I saw the display I could smell the ink and my childhood. It was time travel to 1892 as well as 1972. I loved it. I am ready for more time travel adventures!
