Starcat’s Favorites: New Moon
Happy New Moon! I had a weird week. There were lots of strange energies floating about. I often feel like I’m floundering a bit during the dark of the moon. Last night someone said that Neptune was retrograde, too; I’m not sure what it means, but it does make sense that something was retrograde. Yet…

Starcat’s Favorites: Spring Weekends
Hi all! I haven’t done a Starcat’s Favorites post for quite some time, my weekends having been filled up with all sorts of fun events lately. Ah, Spring! It’s great to get out and enjoy the world without freezing my toes off. I’ve also been focused on writing a new e-book, and really enjoying my…

Starcat’s Favorites: Expansion
I don’t know if it’s because of spring, the Life Rocks! conference, my inner spiritual practices, my Word of the Year, or some combination, but I’m feeling very expansive right now. I’m growing more each day, and my life is becoming more joyful. My creativity is soaring. My relationships are fun. Even the sad and…

Imagination Trumps Insomnia
All my life, I’ve been a really good sleeper. I credit my Dad and his bear-like ability to sleep anytime, anyplace, for as long as he likes. I love to sleep. I have a deep delight in dreaming, too, and my dreamscape is an important part of my creative inner world. I almost always get…

Starcat’s Favorites: Snowy Reflections
This is the third weekend in a row that we’ve been gifted with a snowstorm. Many folks are getting tired of it (and I’ll admit I’m sick of winter weather in general), but I still enjoy having a “snowed in” day. Last night I had lots of fun and learning while drumming for some amazing…

Deep Winter at the Homestead
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…

Energy Realignment
Ever notice yourself getting stuck in a rut? Perhaps you’re doing the same things day after day, or eating the same foods, or getting bored with the projects you’re working on. It can be the same way with your body’s energy system. The flow of chi, or life energy, can get blocked, or stuck in…

Starcat’s Favorites: Oh the Irony
My previous post was all about health and wanting to improve mine, and how I’m rarely ill. Well, the Universe was determined to be a trickster about those statements! That very evening, I got sick with a virus of some sort. It started with a sore throat and soon moved to tiredness, a runny nose,…

Seeking My Own Food Balance
Part of my plan for this season is to increase my physical wellness and fitness, and part of that process is figuring out what healthy eating means for me right now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually in very good health. I rarely get sick, and don’t have chronic pain or anything like that. Yet…

Filling Your Own Cup
How often do you take the time to nurture yourself? This question has come to the forefront for me lately. I find that when I’m in a particularly busy phase, I put “time for me” at the bottom of the list. For some reason, the work ethic I’ve absorbed says that I should take time…
