WooHoo. I’m super excited about entering the world of video! I hope you like it!
Today’s video is about using ALL of your four personal power centers when trying to manifest or create change in your life. Most people use only one or two, and
In case you missed it, I gave away books and prints for my birthday celebration. I decided it would be a fun way to meet new people and promote the website. Giving away books or prints that I love is more in alignment
In this video, Larry Smith addresses mostly college students to inspire them to follow their passion. This is even more important today than it used to be in my generation. As he points out, it used to be that
It’s Valentine’s Day in the US, a holiday to celebrate love. Yet, as with most things American, it has become so commercialized that for many it’s a holiday of anxiety and angst. For some it’s a reminder of what’s missing in their lives, for
Tree Meditation
I walk through the forest almost daily, a meditative ritual. When I am fully aligned and centered with my soul, I can feel the energy of the trees. Sometimes, I stop to lay my hands on the bark, closing my eyes to focus
Twenty years ago, as an undergrad English major and aspiring writer, I wore all black and hung out with other writers in libraries or deli’s before there were coffee shops. I took courses in comparative literature, Joseph Campbell’s mythology and goddess religions. We studied
I stood at the top of a black diamond slope, intimidated by the moguls that had formed after hours of heavy use and warm weather. I had skied this slope earlier, but now I would have to go right through the moguls on the
I have an unbelievably awesome, nearly perfect life. It’s practically magical, manifested from my soul’s energy and love. It would be easy to stay in this place, satisfied with what is, comfortable and safe. Settled. But my soul wants to soar. I’m standing on […]
I can still recall that moment of awareness, an epiphany. I was watching the first Harry Potter movie with my son; we hadn’t seen it in many years. When The Deathly Hallows was released, we decided to watch all the movies from the beginning […]
If you have not read A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs, then stop reading this and go read that. All the way to the end. I was surprised by how affected I was by the death of Steve Jobs just as I’m surprised at […]
I’ve been in a bit of a funk since we came back from New York. That let-down of returning to my regular life after something so incredibly wonderful and outrageous. As my friend told me, New York is the city of BIG DREAMS, and […]
She had left the conference the previous day with the copy of Super Rich that Russell Simmons gave out to all of us. She got in a taxi and struck up a conversation with the driver, who asked where she had been.
I recently bought a Vitamix and have been trying lots of different smoothies. Here’s this afternoon’s recipe: water 5 cucumber slices handful of celery chunks 1/2 apple 5 mango pieces 3 pineapple pieces handful of soynuts handful of walnuts handful of green grapes handful […]
I just got back from four days in New York for the Rich, Happy + Hot Conference with Marie Forleo. It was unbelievably inspiring. I have much to share in upcoming posts; for now, I’m going to share one story. The conference cost $1500, […]
While riding the Bolt Bus to New York this morning, I saw that sunrise while reading The Four Agreements and pondering the illusion of our perceived reality. Read about it in Smokey Mirrors at Cool Blue Souls. This was the sunrise this morning, a […]
This weekend I’m headed to New York to attend the Rich, Happy + Hot conference with Marie Forleo, Russell Simmons, Danielle LaPorte, Kris Carr, Regena Thomashauer, Simon Sinek, and more. One of the pre-conference assignments was to learn this dance, and now I can’t […]
I’m appreciating incredibly beautiful weather here in Maryland this weekend, perfect for hiking or anything else outside. Grace and I went hiking while a chicken cooked in olive oil in the crock pot. When we got home, I used my new Vitamix to make […]
The photo is a pink azalea I called Heart and Soul. (You can purchase it here if you like it.) I was contacted by Brittany Whittanberg of Women Empowered and Loving Life (WELL) through Etsy and asked to donate that print for an upcoming […]
Too many bloggers care more about marketing and subscribers than about expressing genuine ideas. I have a mental block toward SEO and have stubbornly refused to learn about it. I don't want to prostitute my writing, hiking up my skirt with every strategic keyword placement.
I’m sitting in a lounge chair on the pool deck basking in the sun. It’s 2pm. Nearby, a cricket chirps. It’s hot enough to be in my bathing suit, but I don’t need a tan anymore. We’re moving into long pants and sweater weather. […]
