One Word, Redux
I was searching my blog for something else and found this fun “one-word” post from back in 2011. I decided to do it again, in 2024. If you want to try it, just add one word to each of the prompts, and post it on your own blog or on social media. It’s fun! Yourself:…

Starcat’s Favorites: Yoga Practice
As I write this, the calendar has officially switched to Spring, and the Sun is in Aries. This is our sassy Aries-born catten (still a kitten but almost a cat), Milton LoveCat. We’re having that weather that makes you wish it was warm out – but it isn’t, truly, not for me, anyway. But I…

Starcat’s Favorites: Seaside Vacation
I’ve been away this week, up at Quester’s family camp on the ocean. It’s been a delight. Quester and I were celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary, and we also enjoyed hosting some new friends from out of state who stayed with us for a few days. It can be hard for me sometimes to take…

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: 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,…

I Don’t Mind
There’s a quote that’s been rolling around in my head for a few months. In his later years, the Indian sage and spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti gave a talk in which he offered to share his secret to living a joyful and fulfilled life. “This is my secret,” he told a rapt audience. “I…

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…

Personal Projects, No Pressure
Creative people like us often have a bunch of projects underway at any given time. Despite what you might hear or read, this is a good thing. Our brains work differently from those who move in a linear fashion from one project to another. Creativity is less like a line and more like a wild,…

The Life of the Imagination
I enjoy living a “Life of the Imagination.” The phrase itself came to me at some point several years ago, popping into my consciousness and immediately embraced as something that describes me, at least when I’m at my best. What does it mean? It’s about letting your creativity flow, allowing yourself to be whimsical and…

Starcat’s Favorites: Books and Bookstores
Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Yes, that’s really a thing. Today’s a wonderful day to visit your favorite local bookstore. I thought I’d kick off the festivities by sharing photos of my “to be read” and “currently reading” piles. The shorter pile is what I’m currently reading (or re-reading, in the case of Women Who Run…
