The Cosmic Cat: December 2014
http://shannonhilsonspiritual.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Written Ramblings of a Spiritual Seeker. Saturday, December 27, 2014. On Advent and Christmas Festivities. Holiday time quickly morphed into something I downright dreaded. Like a lot of people, I didn't feel like I had much to celebrate at Christmas time, so that was usually the time of year I felt the most depressed. The idea of presents and such had long ago ceased to mean much to me. I absolutely hated. Enjoyed. I completed a few Advent-themed Bible reading plans as well. Of course we watched ...Im a ...

The Cosmic Cat: November 2011
http://shannonhilsonspiritual.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Written Ramblings of a Spiritual Seeker. Saturday, November 12, 2011. On Karma and Its Care and Feeding. In the end though, I suppose all we can really do is try. Little things make a big difference, I think, because they add up. It may take 100 pennies to equal a dollar, but. hey, a dollar, right? Here are some of the pennies I try to collect when I see them lying around. I'm only human, so sometimes I do decide it's not worth it and just forget the damn penny, but like I said. I try. I'm not good on a ...

The Cosmic Cat: Ember Days and the Fall Equinox
http://shannonhilsonspiritual.blogspot.com/2014/09/ember-days-and-fall-equinox.html
Written Ramblings of a Spiritual Seeker. Friday, September 26, 2014. Ember Days and the Fall Equinox. The Fall Equinox was earlier this week - Tuesday, to be exact. I guess that means we can now officially say summer is over. Although summer is easily my least favorite season of the entire year, I've been doing my best not to say I hate. Enjoy my summer this year. Don't get me wrong though. I'm still really glad it's fall. Been really helpful, especially since its clued me into the existence of events I ...

The Cosmic Cat: April 2012
http://shannonhilsonspiritual.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Written Ramblings of a Spiritual Seeker. Friday, April 6, 2012. Exploring the Truth About the Sun Signs. I have no idea if what I'm about to talk about is something other astrology enthusiasts notice or even care about. However, I do notice it's something I rarely see talked about on blogs similar to mine. I hate. no, really. hate. Not so much. They get enough reality checks in their day to day lives. As a result, people happily spend a ton of their energy running away. Why astrology sites are written th...

The Life and Times of a Freelance Writer. The Development of My Personal Style. What I charge is completely dependent upon how time consuming your project will be for me, what the finished work will be used for, and whether or not you will be using what I produce to bring in revenue. Nevertheless, there are some hard and fast rules that always apply across the board. The commission fee we decide on must be paid in two installments. Once we decide on a fee, 50% of that fee must be paid in full up front.

The Creative Cat: January 2015
http://shannonhilsoncreative.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The Life and Times of a Freelance Writer. Saturday, January 10, 2015. On Creative Goals and Their Ghosts. I'm not sure how or why, but somewhere along the way, I really stopped caring. Then I almost began to move in reverse. These days, I sometimes seek to avoid recognition altogether - very reminiscent of me as a child or teen. In fact, I'm almost scaring myself with how nonchalantly I turn down opportunities to be recognized or celebrated for anything that I'm doing these days. Do I even have any?

The Creative Cat: October 2014

The Life and Times of a Freelance Writer. Monday, October 6, 2014. NaNoWriMo and Other Things That Bite. I am sure it won't be long before I'm over here complaining because I once again know what it is to rue the day, but at present, I'm thinking that I might be participating in NaNoWriMo. If I'm really on fire about a given idea), then it's likely that I will never finish it at all. My creative passion is really not terribly shelf stable and I have to seize it while it's actually there. When Im not in f...

The Culinary Cat: July 2013

Thoughts on Cooking, Eating, and Writing About Food. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. My First McNuggets as an Adult. McNuggets and fries with BBQ sauce. awwww, yeah! The types of food that most kids thought were manna from heaven. Bologna and American cheese sandwiches with yellow mustard? Oh, hell no. Macaroni and cheese? Don't make me barf. Chef Boyardee canned pastas? You had to be kidding me. Other favorite options like pizza, hot dogs, and grilled cheeses got maybe a "meh" reaction from me at best. Well, of...

Thoughts on Cooking, Eating, and Writing About Food. Monday, August 20, 2012. The Politics of Ketchup. The Ever-Present Ketchup Cups. It's not like he won't. Eat something without ketchup, but he does strongly, strongly prefer to eat it with. I'm the exact opposite as far as my personal feelings go. I don't have an issue with other people liking ketchup, but I strongly dislike it myself (along with most commonly used condiments). In fact, I will not. It's like I want to crack skulls or something. The fun...

Written Ramblings of a Spiritual Seeker. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Looking on the Bright Side. Somehow, even though I've yet to really set aside the time to make my public blogs all I would truly like them to be, I appear to have readers at all three of them, which is something of a motivator. I'm more concerned with posting regularly in blogs once I realize other people actually give a shit whether or not I'm posting, as opposed to feeling like I'm just chattering away to myself. Gradually becoming more s...
