What a very special Solstice this is, synchronized with the New Moon! :) Depending on which hemisphere you live in, you'll be welcoming the Winter or Summer season. Here in Alaska, the Winter Solstice officially occurs at 2:03pm and the New Moon is at 4:36pm, both on Sunday, Dec.21st (you can convert it to your own time zone here). The Winter Solstice, also traditionally known as "Yule", has been celebrated for thousands of years, especially in the northern … [Read more...]

I'm sharing the seasonal treasures of Alaska's landscapes with you today... I feel so enthralled by Nature's wonders and beauty every single day. I just never imagined how it would captivate me this much, so far up north - Mother Earth never ceases to awe-maze me... I feel so blessed to have been able to witness and experience the glory of Alaska's wild landscapes in all their seasonal changes... a place I never planned to travel to in this life... and then Michael changed all that (so … [Read more...]

Mother Earth, our celestial HOME... Tomorrow, April 22nd is known officially as "Earth Day". It's a beautiful gesture to take the time to pause and celebrate our magnificent home in the solar system and universe for one day. I feel that if every day we took the time to appreciate our planet for all that she provides for us daily, which "Earth Day" brings into our awareness, things would be different in our world, in a good way. People who are more mindful of their roles as stewards … [Read more...]

This one little bird makes it officially spring for me!... Migrating birds are truly amazing. Like clockwork, they show up again in spring after a long winter. For years I would hear a robin begin to sing in my city backyard exactly on March 30. It always left me in wonder, at how precisely timed it was with returning to its northern range to raise a family!... The American robin has always been my "spring bird". To hear and see this beautiful songbird has always been my official sign … [Read more...]

Moments that make "time" stop and emphasize the magick and divinity of life... On the day of my birthday, March 14th, we were driving up and up in elevation through the glorious Yosemite Nat'l Park. We planned to go on a full hike, further than we'd been before in our beloved Mariposa Grove (where so many of the giant tree beings, like Giant Sequoias, Sugar Pines and Redwoods stand majestically throughout the forest)... Red-Tailed Hawk has been a dear power animal of mine since I left my … [Read more...]

The season dances into a new one today!... For those of us in the northern hemisphere, Spring officially arrives today... for those of the southern hemisphere, Autumn officially arrives today... I wish you a wonderful Equinox wherever you are! For me, it felt like Spring arrived on March 3rd when I landed in California and experienced the glorious landscape and wildlife (including the song of robins by day and frogs by night) in the Yosemite Nat'l Park area where I was for 2 glorious … [Read more...]

Magickal New Moon Day to you!... ((( ))) I felt this would be the perfect day to announce that starting Monday, I'm taking the next 2 weeks completely OFF from computers and phones (yes!) and fully immersing myself in Nature at Yosemite Nat'l Park to connect with the pristine forests of Redwoods, Giant Sequoias and other natural wonders there! It's going to be soooo DIVINE!... It's now time for me to fully recharge so I'll be ready for my book's launch. Since I can't give a date yet, I'm … [Read more...]

Life bursts forth!... Regardless of anything... life always prevails in the most miraculous ways!... and today I was reminded of this once again... During my Nature hike today, it felt SO NICE to not have to wear a scarf around my face, and to experience a day that feels more like Spring than Winter!... As I walked through the snowbound trails, I noticed the most amazing surprise... Despite having experienced the coldest Winter season in 100 years (with incessant storms every few … [Read more...]

Absence enhances the experience... It was an overcast day all day... Then just as I stepped outside for a Nature walk, the sun appeared at the horizon below the blanket of clouds and my oh my did it look even more radiant!!!... A blazing orange colour with pink hues... bathing the trees in a golden light... (interestingly, the camera didn't capture the sun's colours) Every experience we perceive with our physical and spiritual senses, as well as our mind and emotions, becomes … [Read more...]

Miracles... When we have an awareness of Nature in a way that we truly see it for what it is... it's apparent that miracles are a natural part of life and not something that manifests once in a while... When we see the divinity in all life, we recognize miracles EVERYWHERE... including in the mirror... Every second of our life we experience and witness miracles, from the subtle to the extraordinary, and every one is just as glorious in its own right... Every blade of grass, every … [Read more...]
