Frankenstein

Plenty of people have confronted Frankenstein’s Monster in their lives.  Anyone that has taken that pause and thought “How did that happen?” or “How did I end up here like this?” has stood in those shoes.  Many of us think, like Dr.…Details

Zombies

For me some of the scariest bad things out there are zombies.  Not that I have a problem with zombie movies or TV.  Waking Dead, it’s all good.  World War Z, I love the book.  The movie was horrible but that wasn’t the fault of the zombies. …Details

Werewolves

Are there werewolves among us?  Yep.  Do they change into a wolf form at the full moon and rampage around killing people?  Not that I’m aware of. Werewolves are people who are habituated to drama.  They don’t seem like it.  They can seem like anybody else and that’s part of how they disarm and harm others. …Details

Mummies

Besides being a fun topic for Halloween costumes, classic horror movies, and summer schlock busters Mummies are people we have to deal with in life.  Mummies are people who cut themselves off from the world around them.  Not necessarily literally although there are some that becomes hermits entombing themselves in their safe environments, many times living in the past as much as possible.…Details

New Computer!

Yay!!!?????  *sigh*  I knew it was time, but the last day of Mercury Retrograde pushed more poor limping baby over the edge.  So today is all about getting everything set up, ported over, reinstalled, reconfigured….It’s not that I can’t do it.…Details

Emotional Incest

Most people have a visceral reaction to the concept of incest.  It’s lizard brain stuff to some extent because we’re wired to not want to have progeny that would be unhealthy and having a family tree that doesn’t branch causes those kind of problems. …Details

Too Caring

Most everyone has head of co-dependence whether they actually know what it means or not.  Thank you, Intervention.  It seems so much like caring for the other person.  They have such troubles and can’t seem to get out of them, everyone needs support sometimes and so it’s necessary to help them through this time and the next and whatever they need in the future, and there are plenty of reasons why they aren’t grateful, don’t respond appropriately, and get a pass on bad behavior. …Details

Find Your Own Rhythm

You have goals, you have dreams, you know what you want your life to look like someday, but is it even possible to get there from here?  Someday isn’t now and there’s just so much that has to get done.  You’ve got priorities and responsibilities and so many people depend on you…Besides, this is what life is supposed to be like right?…Details

I’ll Meditate About That

There’s a common perception out there that somehow we are spiritual beings trapped in bodies striving to get home again.  This means that the more we strive to get out of the bodies, the better off we are.  It also values spiritual matters over physical ones as if these are somehow separate and that there is some magical “out there” to which they need to be further attuned.…Details

The Shyness of Self

Sometimes there are aspects of ourselves that have a very quiet voice.  It doesn’t matter if we’re an extrovert, if we’ve lived a spiritual life for over 40 years, if we’ve “found” ourselves or been walking our path.  There are parts of us that whisper, that need quiet, that wait until things are still to peek out and see if it’s not too scary to come out. …Details
