I started writing this blog in the month of June three years ago. At that point in my life, I was struggling to recover from a deeply painful and traumatizing breakup, while at the same time attempting to cultivate a sanctuary to express myself and my dreams.For a year and a half, I wrote about…
Endings and New Beginnings: Updates, Goodbyes & Resets
I did not post a blog in November – my first time to skip a month since I started writing last year. I simply could not get myself to do it; I couldn’t get myself to log on to WordPress PERIOD.So once again I apologize for all the posts I’ve missed from the blogs I…
Another Autumn Recipe: Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins
I’m here posting food and displays again – this time in the true spirit of October. Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins. My sister actually came across the recipe on Facebook weeks ago and tagged me in it, knowing how much I love butterscotch. And I was needing something else do a blog on for the month (let’s…
Pickles & Pumpkins
Aside from the rustic jars you find at a cute farmer’s market or treats you might buy at a fall fair, pickles are obviously not what comes to mind when you think of October and the Halloween season. I know this. But my garden cucumbers came a little late and I had to wait to…
Dutch Apple Bread for Mabon
I’m finally posting another recipe blog! It’s been several months since I’ve done one of these, and I had to make a dessert over the weekend, so it seemed like a good opportunity to dress up this sweet, cakey quickbread in a display of Mabon flair – hence the corresponding fruits of the “Apple and…
An August In and Out of Focus

Keeping it Together While the World is Falling Apart: Just Checking In
2020 is sure getting the reputation for being the craziest and “worst year ever” and I can’t deny that it’s not looking good.I am doing my best to hold onto faith and keep the positivity in me, but there are things going on across the country (and globe) that are so wrong, so immoral and…
A Green Woman Salad for Beltane
So the plan was to post this blog yesterday, but my first day of May was extremely busy. I was up until almost midnight just accomplishing getting my photos in the draft and I had to call it quits and go to bed. Not that it matters, this isn’t a “holiday deadline recipe” or anything,…
Unmasking the Harlequin
Something happened last Tuesday. A week ago today and also exactly a week after my full moon anxiety attack. The man I’ve been talking about in my blogs since this past November finally contacted me. It was just past 9:30 that night of the 14th when I heard the text notification sound on my phone…
