Little Bottles of Love

I spun more cords today. I did some doodling. I did some healing and some meditation. I threw some cards and I bottled some some ...

Life is sweet.

This & That & More

Today I made lists. I made time for healing. I made time with a friend. I made beef stew. I made time to watch/listen to Enron - Smartest Guys in the Room and Super Bowl XLII - NYG (Tomorrow I'll watch Super Bowl XXV Champions - NYG). I also spun some new Spirit Cords and have more pendants to spin tomorrow. 

That's what I made today.

A Label Draft

Today I made, among other things, a drawing that may become the label for my backyard flower essences. I still need to scan and crop and size it, and print a prototype to see if I like it and - perhaps more importantly, if the spirit of the plants approve. 

That's what I made today.

A Nice Dinner

And an appointment with a D.C.

That's what I made today.

Love with Numbers

Phase one of tax prep begins with the blessing of pressing deadlines ...

... and I see it as the sacred work that it is ...

... and I celebrate the day of sacred works with singing and dancing to the sensual voices, rhythm and music of R.I.S.E. (Rising Appalachia).

That's what I made today. Ahhhh . . . 

Peace. 

green peace

Today I made peace with my limitations.

You see, my lower back has been having a very heated conversation with me in a language I'm yet unable to fully understand. Granted, the attempt to convey only started last night and a dose of modest herbs and some reiki enabled me to create a position suitable for mostly-restful sleep. Even so, this morning the old girl was still mad as hell about something.

I did my best to sooth her in the morning hours with gentle yoga stretches, a very hot ritual healing shower, more herbs, and more reiki. These efforts helped me get through my Pamper class with minimal discomfort and for this I am grateful.

I was blessed with the opportunity to give reiki ... and any reiki practitioner knows that when you give, you also receive. I felt pretty good too! Until I tried to do ... something, I can't even remember what ... and the old girl roared. And I shared some fierce words with her as well!

At last, I thought, we're coming to common ground, a place where we can begin to create relationship and understand one another. "Not until you relax" I heard, and swiftly all my plans for the afternoon shifted. 

"Relax?" I replied. "Relax? You want Relax? OK, you'll get Relax!" So out came the big-green-guns in synergistic combinations and while my lower back is still quietly growling, I AM relaxing and making peace with what feels like limitations in the moment ... but what I know will be something of value when I emerge from this forced and heavily-(heavenly?)-green-medicated abyss.

In the meantime ... I dream of the warm, the loving, the healing and green memories of summer ... 

More Preparations

Today I made more preparations for tomorrow's Pamper workshop, as well as some items for a couple of clients ...

And I've got more still to make! Somehow friends fell to the bottom of the list. Tsk. Tsk. 

I made my blog background black again - we're still too deep in winter for all that light. And besides, I love the dark.
