BLESSINGS and thanks for reading about me.The river is where I gain my strength from the Goddess. I live on the river so whenever I feel life is taking to much, even in winter, I can trek down the way and put my feet in. I adore going to my favorite swimming hole early in the morning light to feast on nature, Osprey nests, Eagles, turtles, duckies, and swimming with the salmon. Floating down the current and letting go so the Goddess can carry me. Take the plunge into the Goddess life blood and nourish your Self...

.. Planet Earth, Sunrise Earth. IFC, Sundance Channel, Discovery Channel. Mostly,I try not to watch too much television. I try to be out in nature as much as possible and spend most of my time reading, making some kind of herbal creation or doing an art project.I am always painting, reading, redoing my home, or some other fun thing. It seems that every time my life shifts, my home shifts and out go the old clutter knick knacks and in comes something more peaceful. Right now I am into anything Zen like. :} Lots of white, candles, wood, big earthenware bowls, pinecones, seashells,river rocks (I live on a river) organic, earthy. AAAAAHHHHHH...I have free flying birds in my home who run the place along with my tiny dog Pearl. I love to explore other aspects of life rather than t.v....The thought of getting back to basics is heartwarming. Canning, weaving, sewing, knitting, baking, wrapping up in a handmade something feels so comforting... just like stirring homemade sauce made for the garden...
