Special Feature! “By The Day: Octoberfest”


Group activities for this month. I’ll be participating in some of them. Hope this helps lift some spirits for all of you! Maybe you’ll join us or celebrate on your own. Either way can make a difference.

Grianstad, the days of many names. There’s a time that can be called many things due to the multiple meanings surrounding it. I have heard those in the spiritual plains above call it:

“End of Year”

“End of Sun” time.

Days of the Sleeping Goddess

The Coronation of the King

Return of the Hunter

And so many more. What I love most about this celebration is, that it incorporates several of them. First we have the celebration of the equinox. During the first week of October, we have the feast of Tabernacle ‘s. Then there is Samhain, and the very next day after there is All Saints Day. I’m so starting from the day of the equinox on September 21, all of the way up until November 1, it is a month jam packed with festivities. It’s always been tradition since Celtic tribal times to make our own decorations, tools…

Today’s Affirmation and Lesson!

Affirmation: “I am love but love can only exist if it’s spread. I will spread my love today.”

It’s true the world is falling down around us. As the Bible says you cannot put New Wine an old wine skins.

“And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”~ Mark 2:22

But I say similarly, that you cannot build a new house on old foundations. If you try to expand your life in a more positive direction then that means you’re going to have to allow the old life to die away. Becoming a new person means allowing the old person to fade just as well. It also applies to knowledge. When are you taking in a new form of knowledge, you have to…

Gluten Free


A helpful and encouraging article for anyone curious about a gluten-free diet. My family and I have experience with this, as well, and can attest to the problem gluten causes.

As most know, I’m a “pick & taster” when it comes to eating. I’ve maintained a breatharian diet for the most part but Life is also about the experience. The senses create memories and so I will have a bite or few, of things brought by my kids or visitors in order to taste and enjoy the moment with them. When I do actually sit and have a small amount of food though, I made sure to eliminate the ingredients of gluten and sugar. During a visit with my friend though, I did accidentally add sugar to my coffee out of habit in the past times that she was here when I used to eat a lot of sugar. She hadn’t been here in so long, that it felt like old times. But I immediately recognized my mistake, and after tasting a few sour patch kids that she had bought…
