[New post] Would you like to sleep in a tepee?

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

Would you like to sleep in a tepee?

by Kathy

Yesterday in Wal-Mart, near the pickles, I nearly tripped over a Native American elder driving a cart. Years ago, he led sweat lodges in our area in which I participated. We prayed together, many of us in the dark tarped wigwam, singing ancient Anishinabe (Ojibway) songs, chanting over and over again as sweat dripped down [...]

[New post] Desperate teeth

Desperate teeth

by Kathy

Today Ms. Susan (my good buddy, blog reader and commenter extraordinaire) who lives across the bay agreed to meet me for lunch at the Hilltop Restaurant. Even though I am mostly vegan, we decided to split a reuben and munch on french fries. We always laugh when we're together. We talked about subjects like: 1) [...]

[New post] Numbers run screaming from the page and other peaceful stories

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

Numbers run screaming from the page and other peaceful stories

by Kathy

As Mr. Rogers always peacefully sang, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood." One of those perfect summer days. The sun shines, reflecting golden hues against the electric green of the forest leaves. Birds chatter, expressing their delight with beaks and wings. Chipmunks scurry from woodpile to shed. Fawns nurse and prance away from mama [...]

[New post] Ready, set, reactivate Facebook

Ready, set, reactivate Facebook

by Kathy

Saturday, unexpectedly, the typing fingers did something truly amazing. They reactivated my Facebook account after a six-month deactivation. I am still attempting to reconcile with the errant digits. As some of you might remember, this blogger has been sometimes Facebook-challenged. Yes. She's never quite been able to figure out the FB hoopla. (Maybe there is [...]

A bedroom full of trees and other ordinary musings

by Kathy

1. It's nice to be able to post blogs "whenever I feel it" after a two month experiment with once-a-week blogging. It truly was a lovely experience. So much time and space opened up for reflection, for walking in spring beauty, for enjoying the present moment. However, it's equally delightful to be able to post [...]

Magical blessing of the butterflies

by Kathy

Today is my last post about beautiful Mackinac Island, located between Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsulas. I surely enjoyed a delightful visit there on my way back home to L'Anse in the Upper Peninsula a week or two ago. Today might you enjoy pausing to watch butterflies flitting at the Butterfly House on the island? [...]

[New post] Bloggers are Real People, too (Meet Ms. Heather and Ms. Bree)

New post on Lake Superior Spirit

Bloggers are Real People, too (Meet Ms. Heather and Ms. Bree)

by Kathy

Years ago, in my early blogging days (OK, maybe four years ago) a friend snipped that on-line friends aren't truly "real". Would you be offended to hear that? I was crushed. I KNEW my blogging friends were real. So you can't reach out and hug them on impulse. You can't wander in the woods with [...]
