Starcat’s Favorites: Road Trips
Late summer means… a road trip! This time to upstate New York, where we’re taking in a Dead & Company concert, then exploring the Finger Lakes area. As well as lounging by the pool! I love road trips. They’re like a longer version of an artist’s date, with lots of inspiring new input for the…

More Thoughts on Sovereignty
It’s been 3 months since I wrote about some of my experiences with sovereignty. It’s time for an update! First of all, I now have a crystal crown – well, more of a tiara, really. I love wearing it. If you need one for yourself, or any kind of crystals, I highly recommend this Etsy…

Sovereignty & Synchronicity: Some Thoughts
My Word of the Year for 2020 was SOVEREIGN. I know we’re in a whole new year (my Word for 2021 is MAGICK!), but I’ve still been experimenting with the concept and practice of sovereignty. To me, being sovereign is about being centered in your own experience, and leading from a place of grace and…

Starcat’s Favorites: Dreaming Big
I’ve been busy dreaming BIG over here. It’s lighting me up in new ways, and I’m harnessing the energies of Spring to support my expansion. I’ve already written about that, though. Here’s what else I’ve been up to recently. What I’m reading: Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline. Apparently some people weren’t a fan of…

The Tidingdale Literary Collective
Spring has finally fully arrived, here in northern New England. I’m feeling the urge to emerge from hibernation, at last! That’s still a bit complicated, thanks to the pandemic lingering and so forth, but that’s okay. I’m good with a mindful rollout. During the late Winter and early Spring, much of my creativity has been…

Starcat’s Ten Best Books of 2020
It’s a bit belated, but I’m delighted to share my ten favorite books that I read during past year. As always, please note that these aren’t necessarily books that came out in 2020, just ones that I read and enjoyed. One would think that I’d have read more books than usual during a pandemic, and…

Vulnerability in Writing
This past weekend I attended a workshop called the Gateless Writing Salon. I loved it SO much. It feels so good to be held and led when it comes to writing, as most often I’m the one facilitating. We were led into a guided meditation, and had a one-word prompt at the end. Then we…

Starcat’s Favorites: Self-Acceptance
Hey there! The title of this post, self-acceptance, is around feeling some guilt (I know, Mom, “no guilt”) about not posting here much lately. I’ve had lots of ideas, but haven’t yet taken the time to sit down and share them with you. The acceptance is fairly easy, actually, because I’ve been doing lots of…

Starcat’s Favorites: Hibernating with Books
Here we are at the tail end of January, and it’s my first post here in the new year. Yeah. I’ve been following my intuition, and the message has been to take it easy. Rest. Hibernate a bit. With books, of course. This stack contains my current reads. Does it seem a bit over the…

Starcat’s Favorites: An Introvert Holiday
My holidays usually involve hosting a Winter Solstice celebration, followed by gatherings of my extended family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This year, because of the pandemic, things are different. So even though I’ll miss hanging out with family and friends, I’ve decided to make the best of it. Among the silver linings: my…
