Hello Friends! The year’s end! A new decade stands before us. I am so excited to start afresh – I really have always felt a symbolic restart with each new year. I devote some time to making a big cup of herbal tea, sitting with my journal and tarot cards in order to both reflect … Continue reading Decade’s End
Good Super moon to you! Our house was illuminated all through the night. A brilliant silver light reflecting off the ice covered fields. Winter full moons are beautiful, they harbour hope and well being. You could walk in the woods and not lose your way. Everything on PEI is covered in ice. Jamie and I … Continue reading Icy Fields under a Super Moon

I have a dinner to go to this evening and work tomorrow, but my energy has just drifted off with this snow. Yesterday, a friend of mine and I went hiking by the ocean. When I … Continue reading Hidden Folk
Oh September! Come and gone, but not for long. It's the first of October and I am sitting on the cold, bathroom floor. Petey, the orange tabby is curled up beside me in a little nest.

Hello Earthlings! It is SO cold here on the Island. With the wind chill, it is -29 C! I'm currently sitting in the studio with the wind raging against this West facing (drafty) window.
