Litha Crew Post from March 21, 2023 (Catching up from January 2023) This January, I finally got the tattoos that I've been wanting for years.  I'm going through a major life cycle transit called the Uranus Opposition.  It's the "midlife crisis" that we all go through,...

Litha Crew Post March 21, 2023 (Catching up from November 2022) As a Pisces sun, Cancer rising, with my Moon in the 12th house, and Neptune in my 6th... anyway... it all means that I'm a little bit... out there?  Floaty? Spacey?  Not grounded, and a very anxious...

Litha Crew Post from March 21, 2023 This lesson, is all about what I've learned about myself when I become overwhelmed.  I mean, seriously...  I got so overwhelmed that I'm writing up the Lesson From Litha Newsletter 6 months late.  It's freaking March, and I have a...

Litha Crew Post from September 9, 2022 I actually don't have some big lesson for July.  Much of the month was spent on vacation.  We spent 4th of July weekend sailing around the Boston Harbor Islands with our friends.  And then the last couple weeks in July was spent...

Litha Crew Post from July 13, 2022 I would hope you all know by now that Litha is the Pagan/Celtic celebration of the Summer Solstice.  Every year on Litha, I see the name of our home afloat all over social media.  A friend tagged me in a post on Instagram because a...

Litha Crew Post from June 14, 2022 So, each month when it's time to write my lesson, I scroll back through the photos on my phone to remember what I did that month.  This photo stuck out as the "YES! I'm gonna talk about THIS!" If you read my Tarotscopes, you'll know...

Litha Crew Post from May 31, 2022 It's almost June and I've purposefully been putting off writing my April blog as I was waiting for some info from my friend to include in it.   Last month I posted about Holi and how even though we are back in the US, we live in such...

Litha Crew Post from April 4, 2022 We went to New Hampshire for my birthday and the hotel there had a full size fridge.  Obviously my kids have seen plenty of full size refrigerators as we visit friends and family...  but I guess this one was fascinating because it...

Litha Crew Post from February 16, 2022 I've always loved New England because they have distinct seasons.  Seattle has a few weeks of summer, and maybe a couple days of snow.  The rest of the year feels the same.  Around 55 degrees and light rain.  (Although I do miss...

Litha Crew Post from January 18, 2022 I've stopped looking at Zillow everyday.  Tucked into Pickering Wharf feels like home.  I mentioned last month that we have real comcast home internet. and we're right down the ramp from restaurants and shops.  We walk more.  This...

Litha Crew Post from December 17, 2021 I'll tell you what... November was rough.  .... As you can see, since I'm finally writing the November newsletter halfway through December.  Oops. Anyway...  The Good: We moved to Pickering Wharf Marina on November 1st.  It is so...

Litha Crew Post from November 6, 2021 Well, October was completely insane.  Salem had record-breaking crowds this year.  Justin and I were busy nonstop 18 hours a day.  Seriously... 6am to midnight.  We'd get up at 6am, he'd go to work, I'd make the kids breakfast and...

Litha Crew Post from October 6, 2021 Well, darn.  Summer is over.  I really did get used to summer after having 3 years of it non-stop.  If you've followed my posts for a long time, you'll know that winter aboard last year was terrible.  Litha was covered in plastic...

Litha Crew Post from September 17, 2021 Last month I taught a "Mindfulness for Kids" workshop at a really cool healing space/metaphysical shop called Quantum in Seekonk, Mass.  I brought Evie with me as my assistant.  🙂  This is the story I told to begin my class:...
