Stories About My Grandmother
When I was in my mid-20’s, I lived with my aged, maternal grandmother and took care of her. She took care of me, too, mind you! She gave me a place to live and fed me. Anyway, this was the first time I really got to know my grandmother as a person. Until then, she...
Thanksgiving
(Sorry about the delay in posting; holiday madness interfered with timing!) This year I am thankful for (in no particular order)… How much my husband enjoys his job working for a solar company, helping develop new technology to slow our dependence on fossil fuels. My fabulous writing friends in Austin RWA All the fabulous people...
Finding the Faith that Fits You: Samantha
Early in the planning phase of our blog, Jax and I discussed having conversations with loved ones about their journey towards finding a faith that fits, regardless of what that faith is (we won’t just talk to pagans!). We hope this is the first in a series of open talks with family and friends on...
Convert and Convict – The Incredible Difference of Two Letters, or “No, Seriously, They’re Different Wordsâ€

Halloween Party Postmortem
Apologies for not posting last Tuesday! I was mired in “real world†ilk. The week before last, I basked in the joy of a successful shin-dig. This week, it’s time for some constructive criticism. Well, first I’m going to pat us on the back. Then, I promise, I will critique. Booyah! (aka What We Did...
Where Do We Go… From Here?
Up until this point we’ve discussed many things on the blog, but ostensibly it’s been about planning a fabulous Halloween Party. Well… Halloween is over, which begs the question… Where do we go from here?* Time and money being the issues they always are (shouldn’t princesses have unlimited funds?? *sigh*), our next big fete won’t...
The Inaugural Ancestor Chair
It was more than little surreal, standing in a circle with vampires, a pirate, a redneck, a carnival mistress, and all of them so serious. I was about to lead my first public ritual, and I was dressed as a waitress from a tv show. My long blonde hair – a wig – caught my...
Basking in the Afterglow of a Successful Party
Saturday night (the dinner party) was a resounding success! Marked not only by satisfied guests, but satisfied hosts as well. Jax and TheScott served up a delicious menu and all the house looked great. I have a new found respect for all the work Jax and TheScott have put into their dinner parties over the...
