Green Tara Is Calling
I’m reading a fascinating book called Tara: The Liberating Power of the Female Buddha by Rachael Wooten, PhD. I first encountered the Goddess Green Tara when one of my mermaid besties did a program for our Goddess group in the fall of 2022. At the time, I was actively grieving the recent loss of my…

Starcat’s Favorites: Mindset, Mindset, Mindset
I’m practicing the art of consciously choosing my mindset, these days. I’m aiming for vibrant health, wealth, and joy. BlackLion chose the word MINDSET as his Word of the Year, and I’ve been seeing and hearing it everywhere. It certainly supports my own intentions for 2024. I’m also enjoying expanding my horizons with new mini-adventures.…

Are You Missing Out on an Essential Nutrient?
I see it all the time. Friends and acquaintances whose lives are heavily scheduled, extremely full from sunrise to bedtime, and yet they feel like something is missing. Their routine is crushing their spirit under its heavy load. They almost never have time for self-care. They might try to fill that hole of need through alcohol,…

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: Autumn and Community
I’m loving the energies of autumn coming in. Can you feel it? This week’s Parallel PlayDate had a theme of community. I based the guided meditation and writing prompt on some reading I’d been doing on forests. Until fairly recently, scientists had thought the trees in a forest competed for resources. But it’s not true!…

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: Daily Spiritual Practice
The last couple of weeks have been like a rollercoaster. Lots of ups and downs – both personally and collectively. My astrologer friends tell me that, given what’s going on in the stars, it’s to be expected. This is a time of big transitions. I’m so thankful that I always have my daily spiritual practice…

Starcat’s Favorites: A Writing Win

by
I did it! I finished writing 50,000 words in November – with three days to spare. I’ve never finished early before. Woo hoo! The novel I’m working on isn’t done, but I’m taking a few days off from it. I have another book that I’ve been editing, which is wanting my time and attention: Follow…

Starcat’s Favorites: The Turning of the Wheel
Suddenly it’s autumn! Well, it seems kind of sudden from where I’m standing. We had a whirlwind of a September, with my big 50th birthday celebration and a two-week visit from my daughter and her fiance. It was so much fun. Now it’s almost October, and the leaves are turning. I’m craving soup and hot…
