    I feel like things are really on a roll here at Starcat’s Study. I’ve been calling myself a writer for a long time, and have blogged and published articles in small newsletters. Recently we’ve completed some big projects at Feline Dreamers, too, and that’s been excellent. But it’s only within the past few weeks that…

    Happy Leap Day! I saw a funny photo on Facebook this morning, of a door to a business where the owners had posted a notice that since February 29th “isn’t a real day,” they would be closed for the day and re-open on March 1st. I thought it was a pretty cool idea! However, since…

    This Thursday, I’m coming out. Nope, I’m not gay. But I do have two love partners. Most of those who know me either know this already or have probably figured it out. If you don’t know me, you may be saying “so what?” or “huh?” or “what does that mean, exactly?” I haven’t written about…

    I’ve been teaching a journal-writing class at our homeschool co-op. I’ve been a journal keeper for years and years, and have written about it a bit, but never taught a class before. It’s been a lot of fun putting together the classes and exercises. I’m thinking of teaching the class for a potentially larger audience,…

    This fall, ElvenTiger and I joined a newly-formed homeschool co-op group in our area. Well, the whole family is a part of it, really, but we’re the ones who have gotten involved so far. ElvenTiger’s taking classes in basket-weaving and cooking, and next session will be helping teach a knitting class. She loves it. I’m…

    …daily, that is. I recently found out about NaBloPoMo, which stands for National Blog Posting Month, and the challenge is to write a blog entry every day. A couple of friends who have cool blogs have joined in, and so I’m contemplating whether I want to do the same. The rules are simple: “Post something…

    I’m a writer. I write mostly non-fiction articles, essays, and books on spirituality and learning to live consciously. And that’s how I want to earn a living, or at least contribute to my family’s financial needs. It sounds simple, huh? I even have confidence in my art. I’ve been practicing for a long time, I…

    Happy New Moon, and month of June! Around here, the weather has been just lovely this week, after a bunch of rain. We have some fun gatherings to attend (and host) this month. The first one is coming up this weekend, which is the wedding of a very special couple. I’m delighted and honored to…

    I wrote a poem for my friend Joy, based on her writing prompt. It seems this is National Poetry Month. So I reached within and captured this glimpse of where I am at this moment…subject to change at will!

    I’ve had a few readers ask about the notion of “unschooling my Masters’ degree” that I spoke about in an earlier post. After some thought, I realized that I’ve been doing so for years now, and just hadn’t recognized it as such. I’m still not sure exactly what to call my topic, but I thought…
