Time Being Relative

I had an interesting experience with time today. We had a Dark Follies Not Just Rhythm Orchestra band practice this evening, outdoors in a lovely grassy park near the ocean. The group was working on learning a new song, and the drummers were asked to hold the beat while the guitar, violin, and accordion players […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Summer is Here!

Happy summer to you! This week has been one of sun and performances and work and trying to fit in regular life stuff, like housework and healthy meals. Saturday brings two more Dark Follies shows, and then, most likely, a bit of a crash as I reset back to normal mode. No worries, though, it’s […]

Centered Amidst Chaos

It’s summer! Our Summer Solstice here is Maine was accompanied by a lovely heat wave, so it immediately began feeling like the height of the season. I’m loving it. I’ve been really busy with the Dark Follies show this week, with rehearsals, tech nights, dress rehearsal, and now, shows. Last night I sat on the […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Being Gentle With Your Self

I’m a bit late with the favorites post this week, as I’ve been away. A break from computers and other responsibilities was lovely, and I soaked up the refreshing energies of nature as I hiked with Quester. Now I’m back and getting caught up with my online reading and correspondence, plus some writing. I’m also […]

Book Work and Hiking

Today, thanks to a conversation with a friend who asked just the right question, I reserved the domain name for a new website. I was telling him about my book contract, and he wanted to know if I had a website for it yet. Aha! I didn’t, but I soon will. I reserved www.starcatscorner.com (don’t […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Rising to the Challenge

So you’d think I’d be riding high on the waves of having submitted my book manuscript, feeling uplifted and happy – and part of me is. And yet the end of this week, after the Venus transit, proved to be pretty challenging. My thoughts and feelings have been all jumbled, and I feel out of place […]

Mid-Week Missive

I’m just stopping in to say hello. It’s been a full but fun week so far. Our Full Moon gathering last night was fantastic! Our circle members honored the Venus transit across the sun, as well as celebrating the Full Moon. We plumbed our depths and listened to the voices of our intuition. Mine had […]

Gems from the Past

In the process of writing the preface for my book, Starcat’s Corner: Essays on Pagan Living, I went delving back into an old journal. I was looking to immerse myself in the experience I had at Vermont Witch Camp (VWC) in 2005, which was where the seeds for this book were first planted. I found […]

Starcat’s Favorites: An Experiment

I’ve noticed that several of my favorite blogs post a weekly (or so) post with links to things that they’ve been enjoying. It gives you further reading on topics that might resonate with you, and allows the blogger (me) to share some cool things I’ve encountered over the past week. So as an experiment, I’m going to […]

It’s Manuscript Day

Today’s the day I’m finishing up my book manuscript (Starcat’s Corner: Essays on Pagan Living) and submitting it to my publisher. It’s my deadline, not theirs. The publisher said that whenever I get it to them, they’ll start there and get rolling on putting it into production. But I know myself, and if I don’t have some […]
