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...

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?

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:...

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 h...

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 Co...

Even more important is that without sharks, we are ALL in serious trouble. Since it...
