Thank you so much, beautiful soul, for such a lovely posting.

I absolutely love the way you look at life and embrace it fully. You make my heart just smile, Leonie!

I agree with Rebecca about the collage-ess (hee hee). She is just beautiful.

Thank you (and RedSonja) for creating this joyous place to be.

Wonderful post Leonie but HOLY DINGER (to borrow a phrase) what a fantastic opening image!!

Gorgeous goddess with her collagy hair and newspaper shirt and hands bathed in painty goodness. I had to keep scrolling up to have another look at her

Thanks for sharing about Ostara. I didn't know about her. What I take from the Christian tradition of Easter is the idea of rebirth--that we can continually rise from the ashes. (Of course, we see this theme in many other traditions and myths as well.) I love your new website! It's so springy! Stephanie’s last blog post..The meaning of owl and crow

“There are six billion people in this world. There are six billion paths to God. Every single one of us has our own path that takes us to Great Spirit.”

Yes! I used to get really really upset when I had friends or family who didn’t listen to me, or didn’t move in the direction that I thought they should be going.

Then this past year, I let go. I let the anger go. A light bulb went on in my head and it occurred to me that there are millions and millions of paths to happiness. Everyone has to go find their own way, and follow the path that suits them.

Easter. Easter has always meant family to me, even as a little girl. This year I will be celebrating a simple Easter with my boys and husband. Nothing fussy, just the way I like it.

On a side note: my body keeps asking for chocolate, so I may have some tomorrow just to keep her quiet.

This post really spoke to me. I am striving right now to build holiday traditions with my children, but I don't belong to a traditional religious community. Thank you for reminding me that we can do what works for us. This year I've created a nature table for my 4-year-old. She sets up seasonally-appropriate books, art, flowers, toys, and so on. And of course we included a candle. It's been a fun way to bring awareness of the world and its shifting seasons, and an easy and hands-on ritual for her. Amber’s last blog post..Rebirth
