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:…

Lessons From the Sea Turtles
It’s been a few weeks since I had one of the most powerful experiences of my life, and it has taken me a while to even attempt to write about it. It’s weird, because writing is my main form of creative expression. Usually, if something magickal happens, I long to try and capture it in…

Green Tara Is Calling
I’m reading a fascinating book called Tara: The Liberating Power of the Female Buddha by Rachael Wooten, PhD.

Word of the Year 2024: Vibrant
We’ve entered through the portal into a new calendar year. How is your 2024 going so far? Like last year, mine has been a bit slow to begin, energy-wise. I’m not quite as deep in the grieving process as I was last year at this time, but we did lose Merlin LoveCat this past summer,…

It’s that time of year again, my friends: long nights, cold weather, and a desire for cozying up. It’s the perfect time to enter your creative cave. What does that mean? To me, it means following the impulse to go inward at this dark time of year. It means embracing it, and leaning in, and…
