My 25 Random Things Post
One of my favorite bloggers, entrepreneurs and online personalities is Leonie Dawson. She’s creative, irreverent, funny, and tells it like it is. She recently put up this post, which hearkens back to when she first started blogging. She mentioned 2006, and since that’s the very year I started this blog, I figured I’d play along […]
Starcat’s Favorites: Nearly Winter
As I write this, it’s nearly the Winter Solstice. We’re getting ready for our annual Solstice gathering, and for the family Christmas festivities after that. The moon, when it peeps out from the clouds, has been so gorgeous this week. We’ve been having rain rather than snow, which isn’t quite as festive, but makes for […]
When You Need It Most
On Thanksgiving morning, I woke up in a bit of a panic. I’d forgotten to set my alarm, and had overslept.

Starcat’s Favorites: Summer Mode
Just one more week and it’ll be Summer Solstice. The evenings are long and everything is in bloom. Our weekly homeschool co-op is done for the summer, lacrosse season is over, and we’re shifting into summer mode around here. Gatherings at our friends’ camp on the lake, potato salad, and road trips. More fireside time in […]
Starcat’s Favorites: Follow the Bliss
What’s been lighting up your world this week? I’ve been recovering from a head cold, so I’m moving slowly. But even so, I’ve been following my bliss as often as I can. This week it means walks with my son and a bunch of happy dogs, working with BlackLion on revising our novel, hula-hooping to SuperHeavy […]
