Last month I was visiting my mom, sitting on her back deck talking about birds and trees and gardening. At one point I mentioned how much
Did you think I’ve gone missing? Dragged off into the forest by a coyote maybe? Nah … it’s just winter at the cottage! This is the time of year when the snow blankets the ground and hushes the trees. Winter gives us a chance to rest, reflect and restore our bodies and minds. The cold
You know you’ve stumbled upon a good book when shortly after you begin reading you get testy with the person who comes in and tries to get you to do something else. I should probably open with a bit of information about myself. I am not a “divine feminine/sacred goddess circle” kind of girl. Normally,
