    About Me I am biologically 58... but there are times when I feel like I've been around forever... and yet I feel as if I'm just beginning - with so much to learn. I have been blessed with 5 children - the final 2 came together. I feel deeply for my family but have a hard time showing it. This goes back to youth ... always hiding how I felt. I don't know why... Yes, I do. Love hurts -- sometimes too much. I had a Catholic upbringing and that speaks for itself ... I am no longer Catholic. I am a Hedgewitch ... I am a Gnostic - seeker of knowledge ... I AM of the earth religion. It's where I'm most comfortable.
    Music I love music ... all kinds. It really depends on what mood I'm in. My favorite today is Enya. but I also love to listen to .. Cher.. Robbie Robertson & the Red Road Ensemble.. Celtic Woman.. native american music.. native spirit.. The Everly Brothers.. Elvis.. Johnny Cash.. Rod Stewart.. John Denver.. Diana Ross.. Garth Brooks.. Harry Chapin.. Cheryl Crow.. Julio Iglesias.. His son, Enrique, is a favorite, too... Chicago.. Phil Collins and Genesis.. Smokey Robinson & the Miracles.. Styx.. The Classics --- Bach.. Strauss.. Beethoven.. Bagpipes.. Like I said --- I love music!!
    Movies My favorite actors are .. Sean Connery.. Meryl Streep.. Brad Pitt.. Tom Hanks.. Some of my favorite movies .. Gone with the Wind.. Jane Eyre.. Wuthering Heights.. Sound of Music.. Close Encounters.. The Abyss.. Star Trek.. Twister.. Star Wars.. Moonstruck.. The Color Purple.. Dances with Wolves.. Titanic.. Cold Mountain.. I know that there are many more ..but you get the idea.
    TV My favorite talk shows are: Oprah Show.. and Montel Williams.. Favorite Prime Time: E.R.. Law & Order SVU.. Medium.. CSI.. Ghost Whisperer.. Eli Stone.. Grey's Anatomy.. Brothers and Sisters.. Men in Trees..
    Books I'm an avid reader and I can't even imagine trying to put it all in here. In the past I have read practically everything Stephen King has written along with Dean Koontz and V.C. Andrews. But in the last 10 years my favorite authors have been .. Diane Stein.. Mary Summer Rain.. Sylvia Browne.. Gary Zukav.. Ted Andrews.. Scott Cunningham.. Deepak Chopra.. And I just loved ... The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings Trilogy ... The Cronicles of Narnia ... The Shannara Series by Terry Brooks

    Hobbies My #1 interest are my 'cubs'. I enjoy every minute with them.. Spending long periods of time working & dreaming in my yard.. Cooking and canning.. Needlework - knitting, crocheting, plastic mat, latch-hook rug making... Gardening - I love the smell of dirt after a rain. Wierd, huh?.. Working on my Family Tree.. Study of Spirit.. Astrology.. History..
    Vices Smoking
    Virtues
    Heroes Those of the Faery Realm .. I have always felt a kinship with them ever since I was a child ..even when others told me they were only make believe .. I know they exist and I am trying to make my gardens more appealing so they will come and stay awhile. I also work with the goddesses -- my favorite is Sekhmet - Cat Goddess. I was born under the sign of Leo and my animal totem is cougar. I have also had a life-long fascination with Bengal Tigers. I think that the Bengal may be my protector.

    Whispers of the Stars

    Thursday, March 13, 2008, 10:06 PM [General]

     

    All of my life I have felt like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.
    A few years ago my soul-sister asked me to read a book
    and
    that book changed my life. 

    While reading 'Journey of Souls'
    I realized that I didn’t have to fit into that round hole.

    I had, in the past,  tried every organized religion and nothing felt right.

    After reading Diane Stein and Mary Summer Rain….
    followed by Ted Andrews, Scott Cunningham, James Redfield
    and so many others
    I became aware that I have always belonged to Mother Earth religion
     and now I am at home. 

    I have Reiki II and am looking forward to my final attunement.

    I am  a Hedgewitch.

      Most people around me are of the old energy
     and
    like to say I’m crazy — a wierdo.

    I know better.

    WHISPERS OF THE STARS

    I gaze up
    at the black blanket of the night sky
    and listen as the sparkling diamonds
    speak to my soul.

    The message strikes a deep chord
    as the silent whispers
    were written by my soul ages ago
    for me to retrieve and remember
    when I am ready.

    Ready to stretch
    my physically aching heart
    past its limitations….
    to look beyond me to the multitude
    then farther on to the One.

    In kindship, I will grow
    In delight, I will serve
    In beauty, I will love
    I will stand alone

    My destiny is cast
    My path is whispered among the stars
    and
    I am listening!
