I’m not Irish, in fact I’m half Scottish, but when St. Patrick’s Day rolls around this year, I’d like to join in and take part. There will be the smell of corned beef and cabbage cooking in the crock pot and I’ll be on the look-out for mischief and the leprechauns.

May you all have a special day with many Irish blessings coming your way.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

I’ve hesitated writing this because, first, I wanted to work through it and, secondly, I didn’t want my words to be misunderstood and sound like more rantings.

Hubby and I were talking recently one morning, when I became saddened by the latest news reports and political bashings. It’s the last thing I want to do is enter into that circus arena and add to the political and social opinions.

Emma and I have the same passion sharing these posts with you as part of our continual search of within and without. I can’t say it any better than this when she talks about what her vision and mission are: Continue reading →

I Had A Dream

I woke up this morning on a working adventure and found myself in Scotland. It was so real that it stayed with me throughout the day. It made me think of this poem, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, I came across several years ago and I wondered, “What if. . . .” Continue reading →

If you could tag the New Year, what word would you use? Words like peace, hope, prosperity would be the natural choices I might choose. But, I didn’t have a choice.

Courage popped into my head and was something I couldn’t shake. The word seemed to have chosen me and have a life of its own. I have a strong feeling that I am being challenged on a different level.
