TAP 64/70-Yin, Revive & Restore

How well do you listen to your body, really? Do you listen as well as you need to, or do you listen when your body yells loud enough to get your attention? I can honestly say that I used to listen when my body yelled loudly…back when I was a kid. However, when I became an adult, it was like I had noise cancelling…

TAP 66/70-Grounded to Grow

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to be stagnant or stuck. I like to grow, learn, do better, be better. I like others that foster that growth, people that challenge you, but that also will give you some guidance if and when you need it. I am that person, and I like that in other people too. Do you enjoy, and…

Do what’s right for you.Do what you feel is best.Don’t fit in to someone else’s box.Don’t deny your true self for others.Walk away from things that aren’t for you.Walk away so you may inspire others.Run towards what is meant for you.Run excitedly towards yourself.Stop judging others.Stop thinking your way is best.Reflect on what you have learned.Reflect on the journey, it’s a marathon not a…

TAP 68/70-Memories, Quince, Shears

In the past, I have written a lot for you, and I have written a lot for me…it served us both then, and it will continue to serve us both later. Do you ever give someone sage advice, only to realize it not only benefited them, but it served you well too? This memory is not just a reminder of Spring renewal, it is…

TAP 69/70-Pollen, pups, oils

Some days you just need to focus on what is in front of you, and I don’t know about the rest of you dog parents/owners, but the dirt and pollen my little critters are dragging in is insane. My weekly dusting has completely ramped up, went off the cliff and I am not only staring at yellowing dirt films on my furniture surfaces, but…

TAP 70/70-The Ashes Phase

Once we have witnessed the Phoenix die, we are then witness to the phase of ashes, the phase before the rebirth occurs. We see the embers dying, the dust starting to settle, and we watch everything go dark…this is a yin phase, a resting phase, if you will, the phase where the dust settles and the surface hides the life growing underneath. Welcome to…

45/45-Trauma, Purpose, Epiphany, The End…

45 days ago, I sat at my kitchen table, having a conversation with my husband about taking care of everyone else, my whole life…and here, 45 days later, I have finally arrived where I thought I was then. 45 days was really symbolic of 45 years. I am not going to beat around the bush today, let’s get to it. Let’s move forward. Tying…

44/45-Drop it like it’s hot!

I had an epiphany today, and while I didn’t feel shocked about it in my mind, my body sang with relief of the knowledge. I cried in my shower and I cried outside of it too, but my body said yes, and thank you! I cannot tell you how good it felt to say so many words that were locked inside, that I not…

43/45-You never know

You never know how things will go, how things will change, or how things will play out. It’s best to roll with things, stay flexible and jovial while doing it. I love being open to new people, places and experiences, you never know what or where you will find yourself. So, I found myself looking at a local online auction, and fell in love…

42/45-Blooms

On Saturday, this is what my Maple and Weepjng Cherry trees looked like… And here they are today: What a difference a few days can make!! I do love blooms of all sorts, and thankfully my husband knows that! I like to have fresh flowers when I can, and got my last bouquet from Walmart, they have such lovely flowers for a big box…
