Do OVER!!

-
Welcome to all my new and old friends!
I started this blog a while ago...and just lost my way somewhere along the line. Maybe there were more life changes occurring than I had planned on? Well, as John Lennon said, "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans."  I think when I first started this blog, I had a vision of it being a place to voice my thoughts and experiences of my life...but in reality, I wasn't sure yet where I actually was in my life! I was still coming to grips with some things...and since they weren't clear in my head, I sure as hell couldn't put a clear voice to them in my blog!

So...now I am celebrating a Do-Over! Life gives you those sometimes, if you bother to stop and take advantage of them. What started out as 'Latter Day Doozie'...the name of the blog which described the whirlwind of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual changes I was going through last year...now has a new name...Mid-Stride Moxie!!

The reason for the change? I have truly begun to EMBRACE and CELEBRATE this stage of my life. Not that things are perfect....life is truly a bed of roses (complete with stems and the occasional thorn..ouch!) But the beauty and wonder of it all has me in true AWE of the process. The internet has allowed me to network with some amazing people who are also in their own stages of life which have supported me and given me some great new perspectives on my own journey!

More to come...but welcome, Welcome, WELCOME all who want to tag along with my mental meanderings!

*UPDATE* I wrote this blog back in 2014. I certainly have had quite a bit happen in my life since then (more on that in another post.) It was a couple of years after my parents passed, before my life-changing move to California, before the recent pandemic, and before my husband's crippling disability took hold. The one thing I can certainly say without hesitation is the my spiritual beliefs and practices have kept me sane, balanced and happy through it all. BUT....I've never had a practice that I mirror from anyone else. My mantra has ever been, "Your Path, Your Way" and ever it will be. So-to get back to the writing I so desperately need in these days and times, I bring back this post as my update. It tells you a LOT about me and my perspective on life.  Welcome new friends....Welcome back old friends....Welcome all!! (Lina-9/4/2023) I am a Bad Pagan. Well, at least I am according to the standards set by many in the Pagan community. Long ago I left group practice and

Cutting ties...

Being the executrix for my parent's estate has been like an endurance trial with a moving finish line. Never, at any point of this ordeal has this felt like it has gotten easier. The reason is my because my crazy siblings have a knack for creating chaos just when it seems I'm handling things well. At those brief moments when I think I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel....*WHAM*!! Nope, just the headlights of another sibling truck making a delivery from Crazytown... It's the manipulation that gets me the most. My brother has been downright abusive in his quest to rule the world  get his 'inheritance'. Despite frequent reassurances from me that I'm doing what I can to settle all the business of the estate, he insists I do more and get him cash faster. At times he has relayed his wishes with extreme profanity and verbal abuse...other times with selective memory and invitations to Thanksgiving dinner. My older half-sister has just gone along with hi

Good Saturday Morning, my friends! Are you in your happy place today? I am feeling pretty centered at the moment. It is a beautiful Spring day....sunny, peaceful with a gentle breeze.  I have a cup of coffee on my left, hubby is snoring gently in the next room, and the two cats are racing back and forth, tossing each other about all over my apartment. At this moment I am truly content. I love mornings like this! Let me start by saying THANK YOU to the numerous individuals I received feedback from on my 'Bad Pagan' post. I was truly overwhelmed by the response and I thank each and every one of you for coming to visit me in my little corner of the world. This is not my business and I make no money from this. The Mid-Stride Moxie blog is just a place where I bring my thoughts, feelings and experiences and throw them out into the Universe. Usually, I get in trouble when I express my feelings, as they often run counter to the established authorities. To be embraced and find that I h
