Opting out of the Insanity

On November 24, 2016 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

If you have followed me here on this blog, or on other media, you probably have seen and read variations of the theme of the illustration to the left before. It's from Adbusters and is one of their "campaigns to reclaim our mental and physical environments." Along with other radical notions, it began in 1992 …

There will be no "adulting" today.

On November 21, 2016 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

It's been a LONG long time since I have been in this place, this beat, lacking so much energy to cope. I know I did it to myself and I do not regret a single thing along the way that got me here. And, though it's been a long time, it is not an unfamiliar …

We've likely all done it. In a social setting, someone breaks the ice, asking "...and what do you do?" Whether we are the querent or the respondent, the commonly understood subtext is "what is your job, how do you make your living, or some variant there of, and it is to that question we most …

The sun is rising brightly in the East this morning, and though I forgot to drain the hose that I use to water the critters, I know it will thaw shortly. A metaphor for life today? Perhaps.I do know that is it uncharacteristically quiet out there in the barnyard today. Hoping it is, as well, …

Moving Forward

It is my old fashioned opinion that if you don't vote, you had best keep your opinions to yourself as to the results. However, as I posted on Facebook earlier today:I have not engaged in political posts through this election. I will not engage in trash talk about our president-elect. I will, however, likely disagree …

I don’t know how my mother did it!

On November 3, 2016 By hexsignhomesteadIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

The veil is thin this time of year and whether Pagan/Heathen or not, it seems like the ancestors are often on our minds... brought into focus by holiday celebrations and traditions (both good and bad). And today, my mother is on my mind. She and her mother have both been on my mind a lot …
