September for me will always mean the end of summer and time to go back to school. Even though it is still beautiful and summery outside right now, I have already shifted into a place of stationery heaven, dreaming about acquiring all kinds of exciting paper products and writing implements. What can be more exciting […]
Life is overwhelming. It is beautiful, it is terrible, it is incomprehensibly huge. I feel things so deeply, and I bet you do, too.

Most people dread having to attend work-related conferences. Usually, this is something that you have to endure, just a part of your job. Imagine being able to say that you are attending a work conference that involves crystal balls, Tarot cards and other various mystical pursuits. It is pretty awesome. I got back from the […]
I’ve always had a thing for graven images. I surround myself with representations of Goddesses and other divine guides, helpers and deities.
