  • Penelope (Penny), my cat from childhood

    I have written before about Buttermilk, my first cat. But I’m surprised I have not made a post yet about Penelope, or Penny, (or Princess Penny) my second cat. I actually knew Penny before I adopted Buttermilk. She was my older cousin’s cat, who had her for many years. I got Buttermilk for my ninth…

    As a Mac n cheese addict, and a grilled cheese enthusiast, I was beyond ecstatic to find out that Panera Bread now makes grilled Mac n cheese. Of course I had to try it! The sandwich is about nine dollars and comes with a side of chips or fruit or French baguette. It’s definitely pricey,…

  • Re-introducing days of the week (site update)

    About a year ago or so I changed the format of my blog so that posts were organized by day of the week and I aimed to post daily. Now, daily posts are still no longer my goal anymore, but I am bringing back the same format. At first my banners were planetary, then I…

I know this is something completely different for everyone, as we all have unique experiences, even those who belong to the same religion slightly differ in certain ways.

  • Mythology Monday ~ Light Versus Dark

    We are all aware of the changing of the seasons, the turning of the planet, and the shift between lighter days and darker days. Ancient religions were also aware of this cycle, before modern science could prove or explain the reasoning why. Pagan traditions marked these dates — summer and winter solstice, spring and autumn…

  • TV Series Review: “The Secrets of Isis” (1975)

    “The Secrets of Isis” is a TV show that aired from 1975 to 1976, two seasons long. It can be best described as a “cheesy superhero show from the seventies,” a feel-good and predictable watch with a pinch of suspense and mystery. This was actually the first superhero television series to star a female lead!…

  • Theory ~ Is time speeding up faster?

    There is a theory that time is moving faster and progressively gaining speed. It is common knowledge that subjectively, time moves faster as you age — one year for a five-year old feels significantly longer than one year for a fifty-year old. But that’s not what I am referring to. I am talking about time…

  • Visit with Mom

    Visit with Mom

    Last weekend, I went to NY to visit my parents. It was really nice to see my Mom. I have found myself to be extremely tired following visits with Mom. I realize how emotionally exhausting it is to see her, not completely in a bad way, in some ways good, but overall very overwhelming. My…
