Starcat’s Favorites: Sun & Water
It’s no secret that I love summer. This one has been especially hot and humid here in Maine. Most people I know have spent time complaining about it. Not me. It’s actually a joy to me to feel super warm. I know, I’m strange. After a rough winter and spring, though, this summer has been…

Wellness Isn’t Linear, Either
I love the quote about the creative process not being linear. Finding the original quote has proven impossible (I’d love to credit the author, so let me know if you know), but you get the gist. I find that to be true. In my experience, improving one’s physical wellness also follows a rather meandering path.…

Ease or Struggle?
Offered the choice between ease and struggle, most of us would be like, “Duh! Of course I want ease!” But is that really what you’re choosing? I’ve been asking myself this recently, in my journal. I just finished a huge project, a 31-day email course on writing that I poured my heart and soul into.…

Starcat’s Favorites: Summertime, Summertime
As I write this, it’s less than two weeks until my daughter and her boyfriend come home for a visit. I haven’t seen my dear ElvenTiger since January, so I’m very much looking forward to it! Although I’ve been missing her, summer has been lots of fun so far. I’ve been swimming a lot, spending…

Summer Solstice Dreaming
Last week was the Summer Solstice, and this week is the full moon – between the two, my dreams have been super crazy. I mean, even crazier than they normally are! Anyone else? In one, I was rollerblading in endless circles through this huge mansion with hundreds of rooms with wooden floors, and trooping down…

Following Your Path (Even When You Don’t Understand It)
This year certainly hasn’t started off the way I thought it would! As I wrote back in March, Quester broke his ankle badly this winter and had to have surgery. Then, 8 weeks into his recovery, he got a severe infection, and had to go back into surgery. We’re now three months out from the…

Starcat’s Favorites: A Taste of Spring
This is how we roll in springtime in Maine. Snow and new growth, co-existing until one day the melting accelerates. As I write this, the rain is helping with the melting process. It’s also the eve of the Full Blue Moon, and nearly the end of March (can I get a resounding “huzzah!”?). It’s been…

Starcat’s Favorites: Extra Self-Care
It’s that time of year – the winter blahs have set in. Yes, the days are longer and there is the promise of spring. At the same time, at least here in northern New England, it is still quite cold and damp. The perfect time for extra self-care! I’ve been practicing compassion for myself and…

Weaving the Cord
I’ve been having some fantastic in-depth metaphysical conversations lately – it must be the time of year. Winter seems to hold more space for slowing down and going deeper. BlackLion and I are leading a series of calls over at Good Vibe University called “All Things Woo-Woo.” On yesterday’s call, we were talking about spellcasting.…

Starcat’s Favorites: Greeting a New Year
I remember when I used to hate winter. I don’t so much, anymore. Granted, the cold, ice, wind, and snow are not my favorite things to be out and about in. But the landscape certainly is beautiful, and I like slowing down during this time of year and going into my creative cave. Thankfully, I’ve…
