For the past month or so, I’ve been focusing my energies on working with the law of attraction. This year has been particularly challenging. My husband works in the agricultural field, so usually spring and summer is a period of financial abundance for us which helps carry us through the winter when his hours are … [Read more…]
Growth is all about stepping outside of your comfort zone. When something is scary (not 6th sense, gut feeling, scary) but, you know, normal scary… that fear is generally stemming from the unknown. Recently, I was put in a situation at work that left me feeling uncomfortable. There is an annual admin conference that my … [Read more…]
Last night in my meditation class, Celeste had us focus on the area right above our naval, or our third chakra, and visualize an object there. It could be any object. My little blue adventurine Buddha that I recently acquired immediately came to my mind. As she started suggesting objects for those having trouble visualizing, … [Read more…]

Granted, some people’s intuition may be stronger or more developed than others but regardless it is a vital tool that shouldn’t be ignored. In fact, … [Read more…]
I am very fortunate to live across the street from a lake. This blessing gives me the opportunity to not only be close to water -my grounding element, but it also allows me to witness so much wildlife. In 2010, a family of Mute Swans landed for the summer.

Seducing me into a love affair, That can’t bring anyone harm. Oh, you flirty moon. How your magic draws me in. … [Read more…]
One of the things that I believe is that there is always positive that can be pulled out of not-so-positive times. It’s really one of the cornerstones of what StayWonderfull is about. The biggest is finding beauty and wonder in the world. But it’s not always easy to see it and when this is the … [Read more…]
Stevie Nicks is one of the artists that I grew up listening to, and while I’ve always enjoyed this witchy woman’s songs, it hasn’t been until recently that I’ve really started hearing deeper meanings in her lyrics. Landslide, in particular, has gained my admiration. Throughout the years and the various covers of this song, I’ve … [Read more…]
This past weekend we took a quick trip up to Vermont with another couple. There is a cidery up in Middlebury that puts on a “Ciderbration” event each year and we decided it would be fun to go back and visit. The last time that we were there was about three years ago. I was … [Read more…]
