Red Womban

I pull the card from the box and smile. Is it coincidence or connection that draws my fingertips to it? It is the first time I smile this morning - this morning is about managing pain... In SoulCollage we use the "I am the One who..." exercise to speak from the card...

Barranca del Cobre Disaster

I have been thinking about my travels in response to the request for a post about my favourite city. I haven't decided on that one yet, but a particular day springs to mind that doesn't involve cities at all really.The day began in the middle of the night as I checked out of my hotel at 3:30am to clamber into a pre-booked taxi. My hotel was one of the indulgences of the trip - a night at the Plaza for $100. This was in direct contrast to the previous night with a bed in Guaymas at the Casa de ... read more

Retreat New Hampshire

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Sunset Lily's Pond Alyson's Orchard New Hampshire"][/caption] My apologies for taking so long to return proper! I've been trying to decide which bits of my trip I can write about and which bits I want to write about... plus it took me eight days to figure out that you cannot deny jetlag its' place in life... Anyway, I travelled across the sea to experience the delights of Bradley International Airport's International Arrivals ... read more

Stasis

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Cliff Edge ~ Mull of Galloway"][/caption] I am feeling a little stuck today... perhaps it is just that pause before my moontime drifts into a brand new cycle... perhaps it is a lull after the creative surge of painting Totem...

This weekend ... read more

The Tiniest Things

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Red Moon Labyrinth"][/caption] A quiet day today - I gave myself a Reiki treatment and read some stories. The new issue of Mslexia arrived in the post so I savoured that and will take it to bed with me. The only creative thing I did today was figure out how to make a favicon image appear beside my website URL in a browser - which sends me down the path of thinking about designing a new logo... but not today. But that tiny little image ... read more

How Green Is Your Bleed?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Menstruation SoulCollage Card"][/caption]

I am feeling lethargic today. I have a pile of orders to send out and there are loads of things I could be doing, but so far I am only coping with drinking tea and reading blogs. It's the natural slump after menstruation where I feel like an elastic band pulled taut - I'm doing nothing but I can feel the potential energy burst lurking. Maybe I will ping ... read more
