The Reiki Precepts (woowoo foofoo Friday)

When you first begin to learn reiki, you are taught the reiki precepts. It is suggested that you memorize them, meditate on them, and make them the framework of your daily life and healing practices. A particular teacher I had suggested that you take one of them, each day, and repeat it to yourself as…

Before You Judge

Of late I have noticed more and more people (before COVID as well as later) sort of taking the attitude that if you are on dialysis it is your FAULT, you must have done SOMETHING that CAUSED your kidney’s to fail. (In many cases, such as my husbands, this is not true. Do you think…

Chin Hammocks – cute? NOT

The Coronavirus Transformation

I notice many people and the media are using “these troubled times” or “these changing times” to refer to what others might call “the coronavirus crises”. Semantics, words, do matter.

Good Intentions

As 2020 began I found myself having the occasional urge to write. Now and then thoughts come into my head – stories, characters, and opinions – and more or less demand to be allowed out onto the page. Then I think about whether I should foist them on an unsuspecting public – or even just…
