In Search of Pele

Ok, so I am here in a Hawaii for a couple of weeks. Having my first proper vacation in years. I am suppose to be learning how to relax.

It is not really working.

The other day, fueled by my love of Goddesses, and recent inspiration to come home with gifts reflecting that view – I decided I wanted to find a figurine of the Hawaiian fire Goddess Pele. She represents awakening and coming alive and passion. That sort of yummy (in my books) stuff. I pre-supposed that it would be easy. I’m in Hawaii. She is kind of their best known Hawaiian Goddess. No brainer, right. Wrong. Dead wrong.

BAST – The Goddess of Play

This morning I woke up (like I do most mornings). The first thing I saw was a little black furry face, with yellow eyes, staring into my face. Waiting. Waiting as patiently as she can. Waiting for me to wake up. And the minute she saw that I was up, well that was invitation enough.

TIME TO PLAY!!

The Journey

I know, I know, blog posts should be unique, my own thoughts on things. And yet there are some things that are just so good that they need to be shared, and quotes and such. Mary Oliver is one of those. An amazing poet – she leaves me speechless on occasion with how much she gets the human condition and so eloquently captures it with so few words. She unleashes my mind and my heart. She makes room for me to be more in this world. What a gift she gives. And what a gift she has.

Without further ado –

Today, today, today – today is my BIRTHDAY!!

Yes it’s July 29th again, and another OTT celebration. There are times of the year that I struggle with stopping and just celebrating life, just reveling in being alive and how great that is and feeling that everyone should be as excited as I am that I am alive (I know that might be hard to believe, that I struggle with that, but alas it is true). Today is not one of those days. Today I celebrate.

It is the day of the year where I KNOW that I am precious, special, valuable, and COMPLETELY entitled to demand adoration. Even as I write it I laugh. I laugh but I don’t think of changing it, because today I really do feel that way. Today is my special day.

Legacy

My dad is in the hospital. Will probably be there through the weekend. Makes me nervous. Edgy. Somehow it reminds me (however that is possible, since I was a small child at the time) of my grandfather’s quick demise – at this time of year. I know it was this time of year because he died on my birthday. My fifth birthday. Every year on my birthday – a day I celebrate (and make my friends celebrate) with much gusto – sometime during the day, inevitably, I remember that this is the day my grandfather died. It’s crappy. A day that is supposed to be just about me, for me, always kind of tinged, even tainted, with sadness. With the passing years, the sadness passes quicker and quicker.

Welcome!

Welcome to my new site and my new blog (although know that every once in a while I may be referencing and even pilfering from my old blog).

While I TOTALLY loved my old site, and the ladies that put it together, I am excited to have this new dynamic site where I can interact with you more and interact with my own ideas more (I am after all an extrovert and need to express myself to know what I am thinking, yes?), and provide more service right here on the site. So TA DA – here it is. Please cruise around, check it out, give me feedback and/or corrections. There is new content, new offerings and the will be more to come, so keep checking back.

AND I also wanted to talk a bit about the title and the new direction. Read More >>>
