Joy Overcomes Rules
Sometimes you’ve just got to let go of some of your rules (no Christmas before Thanksgiving, don’t turn to stuff for happiness…). Mom just loves Christmas (she has no Christmas boundaries!), and I got her a new twinkly white tree last weekend. She spent the next few days fluffing it up and adding some ornaments,...

I Wish I Was the Moon Tonight, too, Neko
After a pretty funky weekend, The Museum of the Moon at ODU’s Moon Festival was the perfect soul balm. I felt like I was in the party I imagine to be happening on the full moon where doggy Roxy and Sister Sandy are listening to music and enjoying delectable treats out in a moon lit...

Autumn Begins…
This told itself to me last night as I was struggling with a missing sense of joy about the beginning of autumn for so many reasons. And then the first news story I heard this first day of autumn morn was about How we may well be turning a corner and be in a better... Continue Reading →
It’s almost here…
I’m so excited that this year-long labor of love is about to be delivered. It feels a little like magic and a lot like healing. I think it’s going to be a really important contribution to to demystifying the gifted feminine in a way that just might lead to some blossoming. I’ll let you know... Continue Reading →
