Resurrection

NatureMarch 26, 2016973Views 0Likes 0Comments

I love this time of year. I love watching the Earth — and all her pieces — wake up, emerge. I love seeing that which was dead, transformed to become something anew. A couple years back, interestingly — or oddly, depending on your perspective — I went on a binge collecting dry, raked leaves. I believe…

Solar returns

What is it about time, anniversaries and solar returns? This evening, while driving down a road upon which I often drive, I suddenly and specifically thought of a store on this road where I had purchased a beautiful pair of earrings I hadn't planned on purchasing. But there I was, at some networking event, a…

Fly, fly, fly away

I've become so incredibly good at flying in my (mostly lucid) dreams, and this flying has become such a common activity of late that earlier today I had to catch myself, realizing those memories of flight flying around in my head were from my dreams and not my waking life. YET!

Top of the list

Well, that's one way to get top billing in the Yellow Pages and a way to get attention, roadside. #Dallas

Banana – Sorghum Syrup – Almond Smoothie

Little BitsFebruary 10, 2015873Views 0Likes 0Comments

Making a smoothie for me is honing the art of my intuitive voice. The smoothies I make develop as each ingredient “comes to me,” to speak in such language. Good smoothies are the ones where I listen to my intuitive voice. The horrible ones — and, mercy, I have had some of those — are…

And there he was

How adorable is this!? I along with a few others were visiting Buckland Farm this weekend, when someone collecting eggs from the hen house spotted this little cutie. Just like this! Barely weaned, if even, he was sleeping in one of the chickens' nests, gathering (or transferring) body warmth from the eggs. So much gratitude to…

Getting my invasivore on with autumn berries

NatureSeptember 23, 20141KViews 0Likes 0Comments

I was encouraged a few years back to explore foraging … and I love it. Less interested in that which grows deep in forests and very interested in that which grows in meadows and suburban lawns and at the scrubby edge of well-manicured community paths, lawns and corporate office parks, I find myself thrilled with…

Free Food — grape leaves for the taking

NatureMay 22, 2014815Views 0Likes 0Comments

I’m a big fan of wild foraging, wild edibles and — especially through the eyes of my mostly suburban existence — free food in my yard and along the pathways where I walk. Wild edible foods provide some of the most sustainable, biodynamic, healthy, seasonal and inexpensive and enriching ways to supplement my diet. I…

Tips for working with local bloggers

Got news to share in Howard County? As the person who manages the content and curation for HoCoBlogs.com, I know—and know of —hundreds of bloggers in Howard County. From my vantage point, I’ve come to have an (understandably) rich understanding of blogging, bloggers and the local blogging community. One thing I’ve noticed in recent years…

Using Facebook: Checklist for Success

In 2010, I was the communications chair for a nonprofit group that didn't have the staff capacity or knowledge to handle their Facebook page. I needed to create policy and direction for their communications person, and this is what I wrote. introduction At the moment, Facebook is a small part of our communications. The page…

A spring fast, cleanse and detox

Tips for an Orderly LifeMarch 10, 2014868Views 0Likes 0Comments

Some friends and I have decided to do a spring cleanse and detox. This is not my first rodeo, as They say, but it is theirs. I’ve done quite a few cleanses over the years, and that would perhaps seem normal, healthy and wise were I a European blogging to a mostly European audience. But…
