Autism and Power Outages: Autism Files

Power outage - breakfast on the BBQ

It's been quite windy today and early this afternoon the power went out, I assumed it was because of the high winds. When I called the electric company, their automated message said that the power would not resume for another 3 1/4 hours. My son had been up for a little while but had just decided to start cooking his egg when everything in the house shut off and there was only silence. When … [Read more...]

Springtime: a time to come alive

detox & cleansing books

Spring is a time of new beginnings. Today after almost 3.5 months it was time for somewhat of a new hair style. Typically I get my hair cut every 5-6 weeks max. So I was looking forward to a bit of a new look and a trim. When I got to my hairdresser I had no idea how I wanted my new hairdo to look. It was nice to see it unfold as she cut and styled it. I was really pleased and kind of … [Read more...]

Heilkunst: Medorrhinum pushing through

Heilkunst: The guiding light! The return to wholeness!

A remedy I was given has landed deep in me the past five weeks and has brought up some painful stuff. It all began at about the same time that I wrote a blog post about my grandmother “A Grandmother’s Fighting Spirit”. I wondered if somehow writing that post about a tragic event that happened in her life lead me unknowingly to the healing reaction I have experienced since then. I had been … [Read more...]

A Journey into the Soul

lost in thoughts

I am not this physical body. This body is the form in which my soul resides. My body is what I experience human life with on this planet. My body is the vessel through which I am learning my human lessons. My body is what houses my soul. I cannot see my soul with my eyes... but I know it is inside of me. It is my higher consciousness... higher-self... divine self. It is invisible. Yet I … [Read more...]

An artist grieves for her child “Losing Jovie”

"Losing Jovie" by Renée Lalande

Today I had the pleasure of going to an art gallery to see an exhibition with a dear friend. Even though I am learning how to paint, it feels like I really don't know all that much about art or even about going to art galleries for that matter. This exhibition was entitled "Losing Jovie"... a mother's paintings depicting the grief she experienced from giving birth to a beautiful daughter in … [Read more...]

Gratitude to Flora Bowley

I am thrilled to share Flora Bowley's Newsletter and the link to my blog post. :)

There's something to be said about receiving a totally unexpected surprise, and Flora Bowley did just that today for me and she has no idea just how much that cheered me up and made my day. Flora is the teacher of the eCourse Bloom True Intuitive Painting that I was a part of lately. Today Flora sent out her March newsletter and before I even had a chance to read it she had written on Facebook … [Read more...]

Listen to your own voice…

Leon Brown quote

This morning I thought I'd spend a few minutes on Pinterest. I was going there to do something mindless. That didn't last more than a few seconds when this quote jumped out at me and that was the end of it. That confirmed exactly what I have felt. It's time that I listen to my own voice. It's time that I listen to my own soul. And I am one of those people who has listened to the noise of … [Read more...]

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland

The scenery here yesterday and this morning was absolutely spectacular. It looked like winter wonderland. Of course it was beautiful from where I was looking, from inside a warm home. I had plans yesterday and nothing turned out like I thought it would. I woke up feel really ill at 5 am, to realize later that morning that I was having a healing reaction (for lack of better words), a clearing … [Read more...]
