A random collection of thoughts on a variety of topics
It’s moving week. We’re moving to a place where we want to live, which aligns more with my values and how I want to engage in the world. And still, my anxiety has spiked, and my stress levels are through the roof. Moving is hard. It doesn’t matter if you want it or not; the…
This time of year is always a bit strange for me. In the traditional view of this High Day, sheep have lambs and snow drops are just starting to show up. But here in South California, we don’t have snow and there’s not a sheep to be seen for miles (at least not a live…
I’ve spent a lot of today thinking, and then avoiding social media. It’s been a tough day for many of us. Today the US Supreme Court decided that people who have uteruses don’t get to have a say over their own bodies. They left it up to the states, and over half of them are…
Burned out. That’s been my situation for the better part of 2021. Burned out from work, from the pandemic, from all the changes going on in my life, and did I mention the pandemic? I spent the majority of 2021 away from my family and friends, and isolating and not having opportunities to meet anyone…
“You are Groot” said to me by Jim Two Snakes after I mentioned feeling uprooted as I watched them pack up my house to move to a new location in a different country. Groot moves on their own. They are a tree (sorta), they are the roots and the branches and the connection. And they…
It’s Pride Month in many places around the world and I thought that I’d share a few Queer authors that I recommend. Some of these folks I have read their books, other folks I follow on You-Tube or TikTok. Yvonne Aburrow I haven’t read a lot of Yvonne’s books, but I enjoy their Youtube. You…
Yes, I realize that it’s the third week in January, but life has been just a little crazy. Last year I had a lot more time to read books and explore new things than usual, so I thought I’d share some of my Favorites. Books “Good Juju: Mojos, Rites & Practices for the Magical Soul”…
What a crazy year 2020 was … there’s so much to forget, and so much to remember. 2020 was the year I finished my Clergy coursework, it was the year I moved to Montreal (where it feels right in spite of everything), I became a leader at work, and managed to build a team that…
It’s been a long time since I posted on this blog. I’ve done some blogging over on Patheos, but not much. Writing is such a joy though .. maybe I’ll blog on both. For now, hi!
In most ethics classes and books, Virtues are a big part of the study. I think that most of us, at least in the groups that I’m a part of, agree that too little of virtue can be a bad thing. If you don’t have enough courage, you could be too scared to leave your…
