Spirit Sticks for Soldiers

driftwood washed ashore

wrapped with love for Soldier Sons

pray for safe return 

For the past several weeks, I have been creating Spirit Sticks to send to my son in Kuwait. There are 15, one for each team member. They haven been wrapped with beadwork, leather and wool fibers. 
As I wrapped each weathered piece of wood, I was mindful and thankful for the service and sacrifice of each young man. I sat in my air conditioned studio, knowing they are working in temps rising above 120 degrees F. They have been away from home for 6 months. I wept. I smiled. I infused each stick with love. This is a very small token of my appreciation, for now.

Secret Messages

I have so many collections of totems all around my home, adornments for my body and even in my car. Of course when I find a feather, I believe it truly is a secret message for me at that very moment, so I take it home, place it inside the jar among  the other hundreds I have collected. Same thing with seashells...millions gather in and outside my home ! 

What are your lucky talismans, tokens and collections? Tell me...

Truth or Dare: Have an affair with yourself

I dare you... HAVE AN AFFAIR...

You
With you
Only you
Beautiful you

Pour the wine
Light the candles
Soak in bubbles

For you
Only you

Sleep late
Masturbate
Cuss like a sailor
Cry like a baby
Moan like a lover

Sing out loud
Dance naked
Be proud

Of you
With you
Only you
Beautiful you

I DARE YOU…..

…the truth is
We blog about it
We talk about it
We hear about it
We all want it….
But are we doing it?

I AM TALKING ABOUT SELF CARE, SELF LOVE.

Honor your body
Romance your own heart
Flirt with yourself
Own self-worth

Did you breathe deeply, slowly, mindful this morning?
Or was that last week in Yoga session?
Did you nurture your body with a healthy breakfast?
Or eat in the car on way to work?
Did you buy those flowers for yourself you admired while standing in line at the grocery store?  
Or are you waiting for someone else to bring them home?
Did you buy your girlfriend that Spa package for her birthday, only wishing it could be YOUR day?

I DARE YOU.

Buy it
Do it

You are the only one who knows what you need,
what you want...
and how long you want it for!
Come on…seduce your self

I DARE YOU
Have an affair.

You deserve yourself!
