Starcat’s Favorites: In the Groove

Published by on January 28, 2013 | Leave a response

I’ve been zooming along in the groove over the past few days. I had a lot going on this weekend, but I moved through it gracefully by going with the flow and taking a few minutes here and there for self-care. Rather than getting overwhelmed with all that’s on my plate, I just pause and […]

The Big Day!

After a challenging and emotional week, today arrived with fanfare! Ever since I was a little girl who fell in love with the written word, I wanted to be a published author. My dream has come true with the release of my first book today, and it feels like it’s just the beginning. I already […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Meh

Published by on January 20, 2013 | Leave a response

Had a sort of “meh” kind of week, after being so jazzed up and excited when the year first began. I guess I have a case of the winter blahs. Enough said about that (though I did write about it once I felt a bit better). Those of you living in a cold climate probably […]

Deep Winter at the Homestead

Published by on January 18, 2013 | Leave a response

Ah, winter. The snow is pretty and the days are getting perceptibly longer. But I don’t like this time of year. It’s cold and wet out. Lots of folks are getting sick. The driving can be awful. I want to hibernate. As much as I appreciate the variety of the seasons, winter is just not […]

Art and Vision

Published by on January 16, 2013 | Leave a response

As promised in an earlier post, I thought I’d share photos of my vision board for 2013. My Word of the Year is RECEIVE, and here is the vision board I created, one beautiful winter afternoon in a cottage by the sea. My apologies for the sketchy photo quality. I did my best with the […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Rocket Propelled

Published by on January 13, 2013 | Leave a response

Well, hello there!  Hard to believe it’s mid-January already. After the busy busy holiday season, it feels like my time for reflection afterwards was a bit too brief, and I’ve already jumped right into 2013. It’s like I’m rocket propelled! I’m not complaining, though. It’s all really good stuff! My book is already getting lots […]

Goals for 2013

Published by on January 7, 2013 | 1 Response

I long ago gave up resolutions, but each winter around this time I create and write up a list of personal goals for the coming year. Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed that I really haven’t been following my own plan. Yes, I’ve accomplished some of the things on my list, but often […]

Making the Transition to 2013

Published by on January 1, 2013 | Leave a response

Here are the tools I’m using this year as I bid farewell to 2012 and gear up for an amazing 2013. Here’s the plan (with links where available). Now I just need to find some time to sit down and do it! Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the anticipation of a quiet evening, a cup of tea, […]
