Wham…The Sweet Sound of Enlightenment

Have you ever come-to, in unfamiliar surroundings, groggy, trying desperately to focus, asking, “What happened?”, stunned to realize you’d been in an accident?  Perhaps not literally, but figuratively? This month, this time I’ve put all things cyber aside, I was hit by a freight train and until this weekend, I didn’t even know it.  Let’s […]

Really? Enough? WoW!

This is a post of pure, particular, powerful, present WoW-Gratitude. In celebration of moments that I long to linger, to hold cradled in my heart for eternity, this goes out to those who have INpowered me to understand that what I am, truly am, and share is ENOUGH. Is there a greater gift we could […]

Retreat in Life, 4 Life

What a surreal and expanding experience this last weekend. If I could encourage parents and mentors to do one thing with their children, no matter their age, no matter yours… Retreat.

Have Imagination ~ School Travels

The biggest buzz of lifeschooling for us is that it happens on the road of, well, life. We wake and each day is an adventure in “What’s Next?” and “Oh what shall we do today?”  The feeling that you had as a child during summer holidays, when you can laze and explore, create and connect […]

Music to Rock the Soul

Tonight we ROCKED OUT.  We do often actually.   It is our higher than high expression connection, our lift us outta the dumps n’ slumps fun injection, our soothe n’ smooth life’s moments to melody.  Sometimes the tunes are loud (not too loud, but just loud enough); sometimes they are sweet and spellbinding. Tonight it was […]

Brain Candy = Games

Let’s face it… we can SAY we play games for the kids, but don’t tell me when it comes b-day or Christmas pressie unwrapping time, that when you see a cool new, or fond fave, game emerge, you don’t get a tingle of joy yerself?!!  hee hee For homeschoolers, lifeschoolers, mentors, kiddies, seniors and every […]

Tapping Our JOY Shadow

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. Buddha I began the hunt for perfect Christmas gems today, and in scanning the shelves for books that ignite imagination I discovered a Pop-Up Facts book for kiddies.  The line that […]
