    I feel the same way about kids. I raised my nephew and it was lovely. I enjoy seeing my boyfriend's daughter grow up--that's perfect for me.

    El Dia de los Muertos art? Woman! Where have you been my entire life? I hope to see you over at Pagan Culture for All Hallow's Grim 2013, in October. It's always full of skully beauties. And you just missed Witches in Fiction 2013... to the Bone, I think you would have liked it.

    Congrats on getting the award, especially from Vickie; she rocks!

*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...

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...

Saturday Cawfee Klatsch! 5/24/14

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...
