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…

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: Wellness Upgrades
I’m on a new leg of my health journey. I haven’t talked about this much online up until now, but I’ve lost 26 pounds over the last three months. I’d been steadily gaining a bunch of weight throughout perimenopause, though I hadn’t really changed my diet much. My amazing doctor retired a couple of years…

Starcat’s Favorites: Summer Is Coming
I wasn’t sure what to write about in my favorites summary this month, and then I received a monthly wrap-up from Nisha of Rainbow Plant Life. She writes about the food, media, and other things she’s been enjoying lately, and I loved it. So this is my version. I’m on sort of a health kick…

Starcat’s Favorites: Balance

Starcat’s Favorites: Yoga Practice
As I write this, the calendar has officially switched to Spring, and the Sun is in Aries. This is our sassy Aries-born catten (still a kitten but almost a cat), Milton LoveCat. We’re having that weather that makes you wish it was warm out – but it isn’t, truly, not for me, anyway. But I…

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…

Starcat’s Ten Best Books of 2021
Hello fellow bookworms! This is my annual share about my ten favorite books that I read this past year. As always, please note that these aren’t necessarily books that came out in 2021, just ones that I encountered and very much enjoyed. I read 52 books in 2021, and it was hard to narrow the…

More Thoughts on Sovereignty
It’s been 3 months since I wrote about some of my experiences with sovereignty. It’s time for an update! First of all, I now have a crystal crown – well, more of a tiara, really. I love wearing it. If you need one for yourself, or any kind of crystals, I highly recommend this Etsy…
