My upcoming move out of northern California, down to southern Nevada, motivates a name change of the blog (NorCal Zen.) I don’t want to start all over with a new blog. I’d like to keep seeing all my friends here. I enjoy it very much, and I don’t want to risk loosing any of you. I’ve been thinking about the name for a while. I named my art gallery; Sagittarius Viking, a couple years ago. That name sort of describes who I am, which will never change, no matter where I live.

A Sagittarius loves to travel, have an open mind and, and a philosophical view (me-check.) It motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life (done – check.) Sagittarius is extrovert (hmm..to some degree – check,) optimistic (YES,) and enthusiastic (YES,) and likes changes (sometimes, they certainly spice things up from time to time- check.) A lot of that perfectly describes me. The fact that my ancestors, on both parents sides, were vikings, doesn’t exactly lessen my desire to explore. It’s in my DNA, even if it’s a slightly more mindful exploring, compared to the average viking. My blog, and my photography is a results of my (inner and outer) explorations. It made it a rather easy choice, to choose the same name for my blog, that I already use for my photography – Sagittarius Viking. I should of picked that name when I started blogging 8 years ago, and just sticked with it. Better late than never 🙂 

You can still use the old web address, it’s linked to the new name, but if you want the new address for this blog it is https://sagittariusviking.com. 

Now this blog turned into “country girl facing big city life” for the first time. I’m mostly excited, and very curious about how this is going to play out. I hope that you’ll drop in for coffee as usual. It’s still the best coffee you can get.

I started to use the pseudonym Ms Zen in the blogging world, when I started this blog, and the blog title was NorCal Zen. I am always striving towards finding that zen in my life. Being in balance with everything. I think I’ll just stick with that name for a while. My friends call me Maria. You’re free to use either or.

Love,

Ms Zen

  3. Maria! I love your new blog title and it fits you perfectly! I’m a Sagittarian, too and likely come from Viking blood with my Scotch-Irish ancestry (my brother found out through 23 and Me he has 23% Swedish blood)! Nice to see you have migrated everything over to your blog and I see I am still happily following you! We may be in the Las Vegas area in early January if we do our road trip via San Diego and Arizona with our trailer! I’ll let you know and we can do coffee!

  4. Being Sagittarian, myself, and having that word in my blog’s title, I can attest to love of travel. I live in Prescott, AZ, about 4.5 hours from downtown LV. Once again, safe travels from Redding to your new community.

I decided to share this photo for a "Back Catalog Photo Challenge". This is a hilarious alpaca I rescued several years back. There was this old lady living on a nearby ranch that had to find homes for all her animals, due to her age. She had 4 alpacas. They were a little skittish due to not being handled so much, but I’ve always dreamed about having a small herd of alpacas and brought them home. Very soon their skittishness was gone, and especially the one in this photo had a great sense of humor. They were so smart! I called them Eenie, Meenie, Miniee, and Moe. It’s Eenie in the picture. He used to sneak up on me when I least expected, and either steal something from my person, or blow warm air on my neck. I never heard him coming, and I swear he laughed when he made me jump high up in the air. Among the things he stole from me was; gloves fro my back pocket, my hat, a pocket knife, bale strings, and he even attempted to take my gun out of its holster but didn’t succeed with that. Eenie was a character. He used to follow me around as a dog. He would also do tricks. In fact all of them would do anything you suggested for a tortilla chips! When I showed young horses the horse trailer the first time I often used Eenie to make the experience a good one. He associated the trailer with tricks, and tortilla chip = his favorite place! I hope you are having a fabulous day! Love, Maria https://sagittariusviking.com/2019/10/17/photo-challenge-back-catalog/ #alpaca #ranch #ranchlife #backcatalog

Sagittarius Viking

It’s all about experiences, and the healing power of nature. Life is about choosing happiness. I entered the magic world of photography when I was five years old. My gypsy soul have taken me to many different countries, and definitely taught me to be more humble. I believe that you are what you eat, body and soul. I enjoy growing my own food, and spending time outdoors. My German Shepherd is always by my side. Horses is a very important part of my life. Above everything else is my daughter. A Sagittarius loves to travel, have an open mind and, and a philosophical view. It motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Sagittarius is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. A lot of that perfectly describes me. The fact that my ancestors, on both parents sides, were vikings, doesn’t exactly lessen my desire to explore. Maybe a slightly more mindful exploring, compared to the average viking. My blog, and my art prints is a results of my (inner and outer) explorations. Love, Maria
