Starcat’s Favorites: Dreaming Big
I’ve been busy dreaming BIG over here. It’s lighting me up in new ways, and I’m harnessing the energies of Spring to support my expansion. I’ve already written about that, though. Here’s what else I’ve been up to recently. What I’m reading: Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline. Apparently some people weren’t a fan of…

Starcat’s Favorites: Signs of Spring
Dare I say it before the month is really over? This March has been easier than I’d expected, given my rocky history with the transition from late winter to early spring. Maybe that’s because I’ve gone all in with my exquisite self-care. It could be the signs of spring. We’ve had some nice weather since…

Starcat’s Ten Best Books of 2020
It’s a bit belated, but I’m delighted to share my ten favorite books that I read during past year. As always, please note that these aren’t necessarily books that came out in 2020, just ones that I read and enjoyed. One would think that I’d have read more books than usual during a pandemic, and…

Starcat’s Favorites: Hibernating with Books
Here we are at the tail end of January, and it’s my first post here in the new year. Yeah. I’ve been following my intuition, and the message has been to take it easy. Rest. Hibernate a bit. With books, of course. This stack contains my current reads. Does it seem a bit over the…

Magick is Afoot!
BlackLion and I hosted a Vision Board PlayShop this week on the Full Moon, via Zoom. Seventeen of us gathered in (virtual) sacred space to craft our visions and intentions for the new year. It was so powerful doing this in community with these wonderful co-creators and Thriving Artists! What a blessing. This is my…

We Are All Interdependent
This year has been quite a wild ride for most everyone I’ve talked with (yes, I realize that’s an understatement). My Aunt, who is in her 80s, fell and broke her femur in late September. She had to navigate surgery and recovery during a pandemic, which is very different than just a year ago. It…

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…

Why I’m a Druid by D&D Rules
Do you play that imagination game where you figure out what you’d be in a certain scenario? For example, which Hogwarts House you’d be sorted into (Ravenclaw, of course), and that sort of thing? Or is that just me? I love those little sorting and labeling quizzes, though I try to resist them now since…

Starcat’s Favorites: Magickal Staycation
As much as I love to travel, I’m currently not minding having to take a “staycation” this week instead of a more traditional vacation (thanks, 2020). Why? Well, first of all, I love summer in Maine. I’m so blessed to live in a place of natural beauty, with easy access to beaches, lakes, mountains, and…
