2021/10/22

We are talking BIRDS! As winter is approaching the region for some of our sirens, we are seeing a flurry of birds migrating or preparing for the colder season, so it is a perfect time to get out and observe one of the most diverse animal groups. The challenge this week was to get out and try to identify 10 birds by sight and sound AND because it’s spooky season, we all watched Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 movie “The Birds”. Our soapbox topic this week is to discuss your experience out in the field

2021/10/15

Today’s topic was actually a challenge given to us through our website. Our challenge states- You gals love getting out of your comfort zone and exploring so why not merge the two? How about the sirens explore somewhere new on a bike? This can be a cruise in a new park or exploring a new part of town or as revved up as taking a mountain bike clinic and learning to ride singletrack! It is amazing what you notice when you aren't speeding by in a car but can cover way more ground than on foot. What say

Siren Soapbox Episode 46: Dear Celebrity

Hodgepodgecast ·

2021/10/08

No matter what your opinion on celebrities may be, most of us at some point or another have probably fantasized about the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Some of us even idolize celebrities and put them up on unreachable pedestals. But celebrities are just like us, requiring relationships, friendships, and even romance. That is just what one author set out to prove in her book “Dear Celebrity: One woman’s search for love among the stars'' By Traci Langston. The book’s blurb starts with “What

The topic we are about to explore was brought to us by none other than Coral Tail Siren Renee. A few months ago, she told us about a 12 week course in “discovering and recovering your creative self” in the form of the book called “The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity” By Julia Cameron. This was published 29 years ago and there are tons of testimonials that claim that this book has changed their life for the better! How did the sirens fare? Let’s find out! Our soapbox is to talk

Siren Soapbox Episode 44: Celestial Navigation

Hodgepodgecast ·

2021/09/24

Since the dawn of human existence, we have been fascinated with the night’s sky. Some of our early ancestors even believed that the doorway to heaven lay in a black patch amongst the stars. While that might still be up for debate, we do know with certainty that the first official celestial navigation was in 9600 BC. And in 2021, the Siren’s received a challenge to take a Sailing class from John Connolly, so when we heard that fellow Siren Renee was taking an online class through the American Sailing

2021/09/10

There are logical explanations for the way our brain thinks the way it does and jumps to certain conclusions and that is what the Sirens are diving into this week! We each read the book “Think Like a Mind Reader: Improve your business, strengthen your relationships, and solve your problems” by Jonathan Pritchard. There are a lot of synchronicities between what we have talked about on Siren Soapbox and this book. We are going to dive into some of those and what practices we have taken away and put

Everyone one wants to be happy, to some it seems to be a never-ending mythical quest. But what if there was something more tangible to go after that could lead to happiness? That is where The Fun Habit comes in and what the Siren’s dove into this week. We all went to www.michaelrucker.com and took the fun type quiz to see if we were an enthusiast, free spirit, pathfinder, or socializer and then we evaluated a day in our week to see where our activities fall on the PLAY Model- did we have more

Siren Soapbox Episode #34: Shark Week

2021/07/16

The media loves a good scary shark story to incite fear in the public. Sharks have long been feared as a mindless man eating machines. As divers, the sirens know that when you are in the water, you are entering the shark's realm. While swimming with them, it is hard not to be in awe of these magnificent creatures. Even more important is that without sharks, we are ALL in serious trouble. Since it is Shark Week on Discovery Channel this week we are going to soapbox about it! We even have some special
