Letting Go of Compartmentalizing
One thing I’ve learned during my five-plus decades on Earth is that we human beings like to make things way more complicated than they need to be. This is especially true in regard to our biggest goals and dreams. Six years into building my dream career, I’m slowing down and relaxing into my entrepreneur life,…

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.…

Of Patterns and Projects
I’ve been writing a series of contemporary fantasy books for about nine years. Yep – nine years! During that time I’ve also written and published several nonfiction books. But the fiction has mostly stayed on the back burner. Recently I’ve gotten inspired to change that. My new plan is to begin publishing the series next…

Progress Despite Myself
There are just a few days left until the official start of spring. It doesn’t seem like it, looking out my office window and seeing the expanse of snow. But as my Mom pointed out, spring has always come each year so far. I feel like this winter has been especially hard. I probably always…

Books: My Favorite Hobby
I’m obsessed with this library-building project – in a healthy way, I hope! It’s so much fun to catalogue the books we own, and also to add all the books I’ve read over the past 25 years or so (when I started keeping track of them in my journals). There’s a feature in LibraryThing where…

Life Through the Lens of Pleasure
Here’s a question for you: How often do you do things just for your own personal pleasure? Do you even know what those things would be? I’m in a coaching program where our theme this month is embracing pleasure. Even though I’m at a point in my life where my kids are grown, my partners…

In Which I Surrender…
My 2022 Word of the Year is RECEIVE, but over the course of this year my inner work has morphed into a theme of SURRENDER. I’m moving from the head to the heart, in terms of which part of me gets to lead the way. I’ve been tapping more deeply into my intuition and the…

by
Back in the late summer, I signed myself up for a couple of new – well, I guess you’d call them life coaching packages, though it’s more like magickal or spiritual coaching, really. One was an offering from an inspiring coach I’d met via the WEALTH course. I signed up for a free consult she’d…

The Wealth All Around Us: A Call to Gratitude
I’ve noticed recently how much my mind likes to default to what’s “wrong” in my life. This is especially true as I focus on building my financial foundation. When I wake up and start my day, my brain wants to immediately fixate on something like “solving a money shortage.” It wants to point out the…

Unconditional Wealth
I was sitting cross-legged on my bed, meditating, which I do each morning. This time, a phrase arose in my mind. It floated around there, repeating like a mantra. The phrase? “Unconditional wealth.” After my meditation, I gave some thought to why this phrase arose and what it might mean. One of my favorite Law…
