Well, here we are at the end of another Monday. 🙂 How are y'all? Fall is always a busy time of year for us (the kids have their annual checkups, school is in full swing, and I'm currently trying to get my art stuff off the ground, so I've got craft shows and projects galore … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: September 23, 2019

Mel’s Monday Musings: September 9, 2019
Hi, y'all! This Monday has just about gotten away from me. How's it going? Fall is definitely in the air here, at least in the evenings. I love it! It's so natural, this gradual darkening and deepening toward winter. It's supposed to be warm-ish most of the week in the afternoons, but I know that … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: September 9, 2019

Good news!
My Future is a Farm
Here I am, 35 years old, longing to get out of a city that feels like it is pressing in on me from all sides all the time. I can't even get a decent shot of the moon because of all of the light pollution; there's a streetlamp in my front yard. Cities are great; … Continue reading My Future is a Farm
Lughnasadh 2017: Burned Fields and a Waterfall
[Note: if you aren't Pagan, you may find this one a bit "out-there." Comments are moderated.] I like Lughnasadh a lot. The harvest festival reminds me that we are firmly in the waning half of the year, which is my soul's joy for many reasons (weather, at least eventually, definitely among them!). It heralds the … Continue reading Lughnasadh 2017: Burned Fields and a Waterfall
A Dream of Welcome
"All I want is a little candle/book/soap/oils/Tarot shop of my own in a small, liberal, chatty, nature-y town somewhere scenic. #dreams" That was me the other day, casual thoughts spilling over into Twitter conversations as per usual (seriously, if there were a job calling for a professional rambler, I'd be one of the most successful … Continue reading A Dream of Welcome
The One Thing Worse than Has-Been
"Mom, I think you messed up. You should have been a singer. I mean, you could've really been somebody." It was just chatter, I told myself. My eleven-year-old casually moved on in the conversation that had become one-sided, as I tried to heave my weary heart away from old wounds suddenly renewed. She, thankfully, is … Continue reading The One Thing Worse than Has-Been
Les Mis for Life
My favorite musical? Even easier to answer than my favorite Shakespeare play (Much Ado About Nothing). Les Miserables. Specific performance? The 10th Anniversary Dream Cast, of course. Philip Quast? Michael Ball? Colm Wilkinson?? Yes, please and thank you!! I have two "watching Les Mis" modes: the one where I sing with gusto (even the songs … Continue reading Les Mis for Life
Runic Dreams
I have vivid dreams fairly often (well, maybe most of us do, but I almost always remember mine in detail). They can be extremely realistic, completely out of left field, or so abstract that they're nearly impossible to put into words. I've dreamed monochromatic stuff, things that were just shapes, the usual "plays on huge … Continue reading Runic Dreams
