ANIMAL VISITORS


We had a wonderful treat this summer.  
This fox couple would come and relax (and get a break from the kits) in our yard.
The male enjoyed spending time on the roof of one of our sheds 😊






One day we were sitting out on our deck and discovered a raccoon sleeping in the tree above.
Little guy climbed down for a visit'

INTUITION

Image
I’ve wanted to write about this for a long time and finally felt prompted after something I read today in the writings of someone who’s views on life I love and respect very much.   They touched on the idea of intuition but referred to it as “emotional intuition” and implied that logic should come first and intuition should be ignored.   They also “poo pooed” individuals for doing things because it “felt right”.    Another thing that has had me wanting to write about intuition is, many years ago I was a student of “shamanism” and the teacher encouraged us to use our intuition BUT added that our intuition isn’t always right?!?   Then what is the point of following it if it has a habit of steering us wrong?    First of all I want to say that “emotional intuition” is a dichotomy – the two words contradict each other (like trying to say someone is a violet pacifist)   and illustrate the individual’s complete lack of awareness and understanding of what intuition is.   Fact is if you a

PEACE AMID THE STORM

Many years ago I ran across a picture (really wish I could find it but haven’t had any luck) of Buddha sitting peacefully in mediation in the centre surrounded by a collage of pictures of noise and confusion.  It really stuck with me.  I yearned for that kind of peace.  I used to go to a women’s drumming group.  The place we gathered was beautiful and peaceful.  We would all breathe a sigh of relief as we pulled up the long driveway surrounded by cedar trees.  The evenings spent there, all the participants enjoyed a state of bliss.  One night while we were sharing, I mentioned this sense of bliss we all had but commented on how we needed to find a way to feel like this in our everyday lives, not just in places and moments like these.  I remember everybody looking at me like I had three heads!  Since then I have spoken to people about this “elusive place” and wanting to achieve it and have been told (and I’m talking about spiritual teachers) that it is not possible.  That it is a

WELCOME TO MY BLOG

Hi!  My name is Sal and for a lot of years now I have had people tell me I should write a book.  Easier said than done.  It IS something I have wanted to do since I was a kid but we all know those dreams that never see the light of day right?  But someone was after me again recently and it hit something this time.  Not necessarily the idea of writing an actual book (but who knows in the future :-)) but I DO love to write.  I journal constantly and love to do it.  And there is an awful lot bouncing around in this noggin' of mine LOL!  So I thought blogging might be a good "compromise". Last night I was listening to the radio and someone mentioned about www (as in web addresses) stood for World Wide Web.  Well "Duh!", but it actually took me by surprise.  Not that I was surprised that is what it stood for but the fact I didn't "know".  And it wasn't that I didn't know.  It was just something I took so for granted that I had never
