Starcat’s Favorites: Wellness Upgrades
I’m on a new leg of my health journey. I haven’t talked about this much online up until now, but I’ve lost 26 pounds over the last three months. I’d been steadily gaining a bunch of weight throughout perimenopause, though I hadn’t really changed my diet much. My amazing doctor retired a couple of years…

Starcat’s Favorites: Balance
It’s that time of year when I have to pay closer attention than usual to balance. What do I mean by that? The balancing postures in my yoga practice? Well, yes, I do love a good tree pose, but I mean balance in terms of activity and rest. Everyone is coming out of hibernation, the…

Starcat’s Favorites: Interior Design
Because I’m putting together a new home office, I’ve recently been diving into the world of interior home design. I’m fascinated and delighted! At the same time, I’m not the type to go for a particular style simply because it’s trendy. I like to put my own spin on my spaces. In the past, I…

Starcat’s Favorites: Transforming
As I write this, it’s snowing. It’s windy and cold outside. Just two days ago, it was sunny and in the 60s. Luckily I know better than to think winter is done with us, at least here in Maine. It’s not just the weather, but the energy tides as well. I’m still in the “creative…

Starcat’s Favorites: Savoring the Hygge
It’s deep winter, here in the northern hemisphere. It’s either face-numbingly cold, or some form of icy water is falling from the sky. This isn’t a complaint, truly, despite my (ahem) tricky relationship with winter. It simply means that it’s time for some hygge. I’d be surprised if you hadn’t heard of hygge by now,…

Starcat’s Favorites: Upleveling
How is it that the entire month of October is, well, over? Did it fly by for you like it did for me? I’m sure part of it is that I was away for a week. BlackLion and I finally got to go on our much-awaited vacation to Cozumel Island, Mexico! It was amazing. We…

Starcat’s Favorites: Taking Time Off
When you work for yourself, especially when you’re doing something you truly love that’s part of your calling, taking time off can be a bit tricky. It’s hard to get away. I mean, my work is so fun! Sure, I have time during my work days to take a walk in the woods or have…

Starcat’s Favorites: Inside the Creative Cave
As much as I (used to?) talk about the cold time of year not being my favorite, I’ve come to appreciate this season we’re entering. It’s the ideal time for holing up inside the Creative Cave. Besides writing (which gets intensified during NaNoWriMo), I have some other favorite creative pastimes. My favorite hobbies include papercrafts…

Starcat’s Favorites: A New Book Baby
One of my favorite things to do in this world is to create books for my fellow bookworms to enjoy. So I’m super excited to announce that BlackLion and I have a new book coming out next month! Follow the Ebb & Flow: the Law of Attraction and the Tides of Life will be available…

Starcat’s Favorites: Staying Healthy
A lot of people I know have been down for the count this winter, with various viruses. We’ve had relatively mild weather here in Maine, yet there is a lot of sickness going around. Personally, I’ve been blessed with good health this season. What have I been doing to stay well? Wash my hands a…
