Get Sparked for Creative Inspiration

No matter how busy you are, it’s important to create time to do what you love.  Julia Cameron called it scheduling an Artist’s Date, setting aside time to explore and spark your creativity and imagination.  I did that last month by participating in

Love Today and Every Day

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

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

Reclaiming the Goddess Within

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 Choose to Leap

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 […]

The Movie of Your Life

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 […]

A Glimpse Beyond

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 […]

Smokey Mirrors

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 […]

Rich, Happy, & Hot

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 […]

Sunday Simplicities

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 […]

Let’s Make a Deal

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.

Sunday Simplicities

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.  […]
