Clearing the Clutter

Clearing the Clutter

Ever since I visited my brother and sister-in-law just before Labor Day weekend, I have been clearing out clutter, attempting to better organize my home space. Their Southern California patio home is “living space goals” for me. My sister-in-law, a fine artist, is a master of efficiently using space and my brother is a natural neatnik. I am neither of those things, but I aspire, and I’m inspired! I’m also slightly overwhelmed by a decade’s worth of junk that I swore I’d never accumulate when I moved into my house. Although I’m not a hoarder by any stretch, letting go is […]

Recalibration

Recalibration

Last weekend, I offered intuitive healings at my first-ever holistic fair in Loveland with Cleo Dunsmore Buchanan, my friend and fellow healer. It was both energizing and exhausting to hold space for so many people. Monday found me filling myself back up at the base of this beauty, my Crone tree. She is a massive creature who has lived on my property much longer than I have, up a trail, through the brush, over a rock outcropping, and in a grove of evergreens where she holds court. A Maiden and Mother tree stand on either side of her. I don’t really know […]

Held and free

Held and free

I won the battle over my apprehension last week and took this handsome guy on a long trail ride across the road from my house. I was uneasy because when my horse gets uncomfortable, he takes off. We had to cross a busy street and then enter a new-to-us park, potentially sharing the trail with mountain bikers who don’t always realize they terrify most horses. But I was tired of being worried, and it was what my dad would have described as a “bluebird day”–sunny and the perfect temperature–so off we went. The day turned out to be quite blue-birdy […]

Becoming

Becoming

Two of my favorite things have left me at the same time. I just drove my daughter back to college in California, and the hummingbirds have begun their migration to Mexico. When I returned to Colorado, the buzz both inside and outside the house was gone.  I’ve weathered both of these shifts before. The hummingbirds depart every year, and my nest was empty pre-Covid. Still, I feel a little sad. Necessary as they are, transitions are fairly difficult for me. I get used to things being a certain way, and that’s the way I like them to stay. The illusion […]
