Lately crystal grids have been showing up in my life. I’m familiar with the concept of crystal grids but never really worked with one. Until recently. I love crystals and have them all over the house. I know the names of most of them and the properties of about half of those from memory. Big […]
The doctor was grinning when he entered the room. He shook our hands and looked at Tom. “How are you feeling?”, he asked with a big smile. “I feel great”, Tom replied. “Well your scan looked good”, said the doctor. I didn’t realize I had been holding my breath until that moment. Follow up tests […]

You never really think about where crap goes until it doesn’t go there anymore. For the last 3 weeks, I have thought about where it goes every day. That’s because the septic system at the Peaceful Spirit Enrichment Center has failed. It’s like the Hotel California….water can come into the house but it can never leave. […]
In the Sonoran Desert, the summer solstice means that we are sweltering under ridiculous heat and the news people are doing stupid things to show how hot it is outside. One local station was watching a big block of ice melt. The word solstice comes from the Latin sol meaning “the sun” and sistere meaning […]
The full moon in May is called the full flower moon. But who cares? Turns out many of us do care. You see we follow the cycles of the moon. A great keeper of time, the moon has influenced human beings since, well, since there have been humans. Long before there were electronic gadgets to […]
