Happy Holidays and Merry Winter Solstice!

It’s been a few eventful months since I have posted on this blog. I haven’t been without thoughts, but most of them have been poured out on Facebook and Twitter. I’ll post shortly on that, but for now, I’d like to reconnect with those of you who read my humble blog, by offering this Celtic Blessing.

I was invited to participate in a Winter Solstice Circle on Siesta Key Beach in December 2010. I found this, and modified it a bit. Though it mentions ‘God’ it’s not particularly religious, and makes a lovely reading for any Yuletide-related events you may attend. The original is ‘in the public domain’ so I am not concerned about copyright or credit. Feel free to print it out, share it, read it, Spread The LOVE!

Bright Blessings to all for a Safe, Happy, and Healthy Holiday Season whatever and however you celebrate! Peace, Eve Continue reading→

[Happy Independence Day! Sharing a post from three years ago. Frankly, My Dear, it’s a little scary to admit you’re a (Shhh..don’t say the “W” word!)] ~

“Do you really want to include this in the beginning of your book?” asked Linda.

“Why do you ask?” I replied.

“I just thought you might want to consider whether it might affect your sales. I mean, some people who read that right off the bat may be offended by it. Of course, it’s up to you.” Continue reading→

Before my 2015 Winters Solstice Post, Facebook sent me a gentle nudge that I hadn’t posted in 563 days. That is a pitiful amount of time to neglect your Friends, Fiends, and Fans. So, why did I abandon the virtual world so soon after publishing my memoir? What gives, Eve?

Kids, all I can say is that the past couple of years have been like a Country-Western song on steroids.

Yes, my Friends, it was a cascade of calamities, that often reminded me of the Popeye toy we had as children. Any of you remember it? Continue reading→

Grief and Gratitude

I’ve never written much poetry. This one welled up one day, twenty years ago, in the midst of deep grief. For all of you who are faced with the loss of someone dear, it is my humble offering.

I was strolling along the Charles River near Boston, MA on a chilly November morning in 1996. Contemplating the link between the depths of grief and heights of joy, and observing a few straggling Autumn leaves, this came up. It surprised me, as most of my ‘poetry’ is very sing-songy and sometimes Dr. Suess-like, so I’ve been told. The writing of it somehow helped me get to a lighter place within my heart.

I’m sharing it not to try to fix anyone, or tell them how it’s all going to be better. Everyone’s process is their own. I am sharing just to say that I do hear you, and I know how you feel. Peace, xx-Eve

The Light Returns! Happy Solstice!

The light is returning, and so am I, at last! Sorry for such a long absence…more about that soon, but for today I just wanted to reach out and wish everyone a Merry Yuletide Season!

All over the world people from many different countries, cultures, and spiritual beliefs will be celebrating holidays and Holy Days that are inspired by the Winter Solstice and the return of life-bringing Sun that it signifies.

When I found this beautiful article by Danielle Prohom Olson on her blog, “Gather,” I just had to share it as a way to reconnect with Eve’s Little Page, and any of you out there who are ‘listening.’ I will be ‘re-purposing’ my blog to celebrate the ‘Rise of the Feminine Divine,’ (more about that soon, too!), among other things. To that end, this exploration into the origins of Santa’s Reindeer seemed a great start! I hope you enjoy it as I did. It was informative and a true visual treat! Solstice Blessings, Eve

It was time to graduate from 45s. Cleaning, ironing, and babysitting for neighbors were about to pay off in a new musical adventure. I had scraped up enough from my various after-school jobs to buy an album–a 78 LP!

There was no lack of exciting new sounds to choose from in 1966. Yet, it didn’t take much time flipping through the records at my local W.T. Grants before I found it, under ‘A’ for ‘Animals.’ “House of The Rising Sun” was getting lots of airplay on WABC. There was something haunting and gritty about the sound, which set it apart from the bubble-gum pop tunes and ballads of the early 60s.
