Two things happened a couple of weeks ago. Willie Nelson turned 90 and my aunt gave me some digitized photos and 8 mm films from my childhood.

Today is Beltane, the pagan holiday that marks the halfway point between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. In ancient Celtic culture, people celebrated fertility during this time, as well as the balancing of male and female energies.

When screenwriter, director and author Sarah Polley had suffered post-concussive syndrome for 3-1/2 years, she went to see a concussion specialist who had an unconventional treatment method.

I had a sweet dream the other night. I was sitting on a bench with someone behind me wrapping me in a strong, loving embrace.

A couple of weeks ago, I got caught up in a video on social media. A woman with long gray hair who appears to be somewhere in her 70’s sits on a curb holding a sign that says “forgotten.”

Ice cream makes you happy! At least that’s what the huge sign outside the new ice cream store next to my yoga studio assures me. Does it? Really?

When I was 17, I almost drowned. I was swimming with my family at a California beach and got caught in a current. At first, I panicked…

Picture yourself at age 11. What did you like to do at that age? What were you into? My friend recently mentioned she learned from a podcast that what you loved doing at around age 11 may be what brings you happiness or even a career as an adult.

About this time every year, I decide I’ve had enough of winter. Lucky for me, we’re halfway through! Wednesday is the beginning of Imbolc, the ancient Celtic celebration that marks the midway point between winter solstice and spring equinox and the return of the light.

I’m back in the woods after three weeks on the road, in the city and in the suburbs—places where you wouldn’t think nature abounds. Yet, this is where turtle magic found me.
