Retreat, Renew, Restore
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust As this note hits your inbox, I’ll be in the middle of nowhere. Well, not nowhere. Actually in the middle of Ross Lake in Washington state. Which happens to be spectacularly free of cell or wifi…
The Moment is NOW
For the past several weeks, I’ve been consumed by two major projects – my recently published novel and my upcoming course. It’s what’s on my mind, and therefore, it’s what makes it onto the page. I recently learned about my beloved Godmother’s serious health scare. It diverted my attention, and my activities, but when I returned to what…
Hey Sexy…
I made something for you. It’s an erotic novel where the spiritual and the sexy spend some time snuggling together. I made it because I’m tired of grown women’s compartmentalization into wife OR mother OR business professional, but never sexual being. If you’re ready to be inspired and titillated, this is for YOU. The details,…
The Answer to ‘Why Me?’
I belong to many online writer’s groups, but hardly participate in most of them. I decided to do some culling. To streamline (again) what’s coming into my inbox every day and remove myself from the information streams in which the material doesn’t add to my life. I went on one of the sites in question,…
I Am…
I am… I am crazy, funny I wonder about the future I hear the whispers in the winds I see the mermaids tail swooshing in the water I want to be happy I am crazy, funny I pretend to be a wizard I feel the unicorn’s horn brush my back I touch my dreams…
The Gift of Confusion
No one likes to be confused. (I took a poll… it’s unanimous.) A very famous motivational speaker and teacher would have his large audiences clap vigorously whenever someone said the words, “I am confused.” It was confusing. Eventually, I (and the rest of the observers to his life-changing methods) figured out that the state of…
Spiritual AND Sexy
Spiritual AND sexy? You bet. Over the past 18 months, I wrote a book. In my spare time. It is the story of three spirited sisters, two Latin lovers and one morose mermaid. It is an erotic novel. ‘What??!!” you might be asking. I expected that. Although it is (much) different than the work most…
Perspective
Perspective is life changing. It’s in my core beliefs here, and I write about it here and here. That lesson is perhaps one of the most consistent aspects of my life. It reappeared just recently as I sat on a cross country flight in front of a little boy who was having a hard time.…
A Warrior Am I
A warrior am I and from the battle I emerge victorious. Courtesy of my reading from astrologist Heidi Rose Robbins The concept of being a warrior plays hide-and-seek with my psyche. I am repulsed and infatuated at the same time. It is exhausting waging war all the time, and yet, what else is an awakened life, than…
A Song And A Storm
I Live My Life In Widening Circles I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I’ve been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I…
