Flitting into the New Year

My friend Donna's birthday is New Year's eve, and we made a day of it!

Brekkie in town, then, with her husband playing chauffeur, we headed to the beach! We stopped at a couple of favorite shops, and had a delicious dinner at Tidal Raves (compete with chocolate torte!)

It was a lovely day for an outing, i always feel revitalized, after a trip to the ocean.

As we head into our January BlogBoost, I thought of guidance I heard nearly 20 years ago, "We need to know who we are, so no one can tell us who we aren't!"

May our blogs help us remember our essence, our values, and who we are!

The Blog challenge invites us to post throughout the month, and share these with the community. Visit each other's blogs beings a kaleidoscopic view of our lives and interests - I'm always inspired when I participate.

Morning friendly Space

In a recent podcast , Feng Shui maven Amanda Gibby Peters offers ways to set ourselves up for success in our endeavors by setting routines and areas that support them. Amanda often shares tips for boosting our homes positive energy - these are simple to implement - and you may already i n place! Early in the year, many folks reevaluate what's working and what we'd like to improve and achieve in the year ahead. Our surroundings can support implementing these intentions. Vision board -2025 Put your home to bed . I've written before, that 'tidy folks' often take 'walk throughs' several times a day - putting things away, disposing trash, and tending little things that need doing. Doing the last walk through before bed helps set space for the day ahead, and streamline morning routines. Optimize your bedroom . Is it a dumping ground for extra things? Do you have a system for clothes that can be reworn? ( The 'floor-drobe' isn't the best option!) ...

What is Soul Collage?

A day or so ago, my daughter asked, 'what is Soul Collage?' ... here's the elevator pitch: Soul Collage cards combine several images, usually from magazines and calendars, assembled and glued onto a card baking. We usually don't include words on the cards, inviting the image to inform is. The size is either 5×7" or 5x8" - large enough for several images, small enough to work with easily. When a card is finished, the creator uses several journal prompts to "meet" the cards, and to receive information and insights from the images we've chosen. The cards represent different aspects of ourselves and of the community around us. After making several cards, we can use them as we might any oracle deck, consulting or own inner wisdom. We can use them for daily inspiration, or random 'readings.' We can journal more when a card comes up ... In Soul Collage Evolving, founder Seena Frost writes, " The process of selecting images and maki...

Reset - Red Thread Circle

As a group of us prepare to sift stagnant energy in our homes, you're invited to set your intention for your space and a bit of Reset. In our Intentional art community, we set intention in a Red Thread ceremony. This is a way to connect as a respectful, mutually supportive group, and begin to inter-weave the threads of our stories. Red Thread circle The Red Thread has a profound capacity for connecting hearts and minds around what matters. When we face a challenge, we "tug on the Red Thread" as a reminder we aren't alone, and may tap into this web of support. Participants are invited to gather Red Thread, embroidery floss or ribbon, journal, and pour a cup of tea as we begin. Can you imagine your space as a living Altar? What is your intention for this cycle? What old stories do you tell yourself about your home? How will you reward your progress? What's your first action step? Take some time to journal on any of these inquir...
