Summer is drawing to an end and I feel like my life is that scene from Dirty Dancing when they have the talent show and everyone is all sad because everything is about to be over. 

From approximately April till October, but more specifically from June to September, I live at camp. Camp is the Slipper Rock campground. It's just off the freeway on the left hand side of I79N, the exit before Grove City. If you don't blink, you can't miss it! This is a magical place where friends become family and you have adult adventures that make you feel like a kid again. 

My family always camped while I was young, my Dad would drop us off up in Pymatuning and come back after his work week. We rode bikes and played in the woods and swam in the dirty little lake. That was childhood. We had each other and all the other kids in the camp who's parents did the same thing. We couldn't have asked for more or better, well except more money for the camp store ice cream. 

There was always the natural rhythm to things and as the nights started to get cooler and we had to close up for the season, our faces would LONG and our moods would get SAD. We hated the end of summer and freedom. 

When I think about that today and how I still hate the end of summer and freedom. When I am at camp, I feel free. Free to hang out in my hammock or read a book, or go swimming in the creek or the pool. I feel free to make new friends and enjoy being outside. How can you ever beat the freedom to make a fire for breakfast hahha? 

Why is parting such sweet sorrow? I love having something to look forward to. I love thinking about what adventures are ahead. Everything begins and ends and begins and ends, the cycle keeps playing out. We get the chance to enjoy it over and over. That's how I am going to try to look at things when we close up this year.

Spritual shit

  What is Spiritual shit?  First let me tackle "Spiritual".  Spiritual In general, includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ones "self",  and it typically involves a search for meaning or purpose in life. Folks  may describe a spiritual experience as  sacred , mystical, metaphysical, intangible,  transcendent or  transforming in  an event or series of events that have a deep sense of interconnectedness. Some people call having Spiritual awakening "getting woke". Having a Spiritual awakening is a first step in what may be a very long, maybe even a life long journey. The journey is where the fun explorations start... I think that many things can be a Spiritual practice.  You can walk, breathe, eat dress, bathe, create music, art or poetry,  have sex, study, heal, read, write, travel, or live Spiritually. I am certain of these examples, because I have done or participated in them all, with intention and Spiritual focus. ...

 Why don't psychics win the lottery? Lots of times when I meet new people, they think it's funny to ask me for winning Lottery numbers. I think it's funny too and I have wondered about this same thing for many years.  Lottery balls are inanimate objects, they don't have energy. As a reader, I connect to energy, living with or without a body, but as for inanimate objects, like helping folks locate lost keys, just not my thing. There are psychics who do that sort of thing, but in all honesty, I've not asked one if they tried lottery numbers.  Once in a class I was teaching, I charted 3 digit lottery numbers for a month. My "win" percentage under that parameter was about 35%, not too bad yet I'd make no claim to be any higher than someone who is not intuitive. Though I would have won quite a bit if I bet every day. Those odds weren't enough for me to feel confident advertising that I could do it. I still feel the same...lottery numbers aren't my t...

Do you have to believe in God?

Do you have to believe in God?  Wow what a loaded question! Recently, a new friend asked me this , thanks Dawn. How would I "do what I do" without a belief system that honors the Creator of the infinite universes in existence? I believe it would be impossible for me ,  but you may or may not be able to "do what you do" without that same belief system.  When I say "do what you do" I mean, live your life. There are many components to living.. like how you do your work, parent your children, make your decisions about how you spend your time and energy and loyalty. You can function well without any sort of belief system that includes a scripted version of God/ess, Great Spirit, Higher consciousness... the God of your understanding for lack of anything else to say since the list could go on and on. You may simply prescribe to a moral code of right and wrong. Your code of ethics may be more or less evolved than that too. Who should say? We live in a ...
