The Krewe of Endymion is going to roll spitting distance from my front door the weekend before Fat Tuesday and I couldn’t be happier – it’s one of the super parades that march right before Mardi Gras day. It’s also the Krewe my brother decided to join even though they used to not let in Blacks or Jews. This afternoon, I ran into my neighbors as we purchased our Mardi Gras decorations. We both fondled…
My horoscope today: Jan 21, 2014 Taurus 4/20-5/20 (change) Someone is courting you — it could be romantic, professional or just someone who wants to be friends. Your amazing energy makes you even more attractive than usual, so don’t be too surprised. A friend of mine is want to say “more will be revealed” and I’ve never felt the truth of that statement more than I have than in the last few weeks where what…
Today Tin said to me, “You’re gay.” And I said, “Actually, I’m bisexual.” But I asked him where he had heard that and he wouldn’t say but I speculated school. I said we don’t say that because it isn’t nice. Later he was looking at my Facebook page and he said who is that big girl and I said, we don’t say that because it isn’t nice. And he said why not? Because it’s not…
I started my 2014 Gratitude Jar and already it’s packed – what goes on? A friend who is a spiritual teacher in California and I are doing a Prosperity Affirmation every day for 30 days by phone. I also have started saying an Abundance Prayer in lieu of my other mantras. And more than anything I’ve started noticing how much rocking gratitude I have in my life. Little things like I haven’t had a manicure/pedicure…

This is a sad bone.” @RachelDanger 21 Dec Does not bode well – #Tinism: “Mommy, there is a huge mess in your room.” @RachelDanger 18 Dec #Tinism: Mom, your…
A friend sent me an Abundance Prayer* and she told me how when she was growing up she didn’t buy into any of the religious doctrine she was introduced to but then she came to understand her own spirituality. She searched for others who believed in the God in all of us – in the oneness that connects us to each other and to all beings everywhere. She made it her life’s practice to become…
Today is my father’s birthday, he would have been 88 years old today. He was a bull of a man and the first man I ever loved. I don’t speak about my dad often and perhaps that is because he died in 1985 and has morphed into many different men since then. At the moment when he died, he was the equivalent of God to me. He was the be all of my universe. Later…
I confess to the gloomiest holiday period I’ve experienced in a long time at the end of last year. The last time I had the blues like these was back in the pivotal year-end of 2005. And both times were after a serious transition year. 2005 and 2013 – while the rest of the world moves on a seven year cycle, mine must be an eight year one. I think I’ve spent an eternity hurrying…
I have noticed you since I moved in. I wondered who fed you. I like to watch you tip toe across my backyard. You always dart across the street. I’ve thought of feeding you but you look well fed. You come from under my neighbor’s house, or mine. I’ve seen you on both sides of our street. Yesterday, I saw you dead. Blood pooled underneath you in the middle of the street. I looked for…
