Published by on September 1, 2018 | Leave a response

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 […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Summertime, Summertime

Published by on July 5, 2018 | Leave a response

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 […]

Spreading the Love – The Joys of Snail Mail

Published by on July 3, 2018 | Leave a response

This past spring, when I was feeling very shaken from all the crazy stuff going on in my personal life, a good friend made a wonderful suggestion. We were both attending the same biz retreat (we have the best coach!). In a small group, we were asked to talk about things that were holding us […]

Following Your Path (Even When You Don’t Understand It)

Published by on May 30, 2018 | Leave a response

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

Published by on March 31, 2018 | Leave a response

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 […]

How to Make Love to a Priestess

Published by on March 9, 2018 | 1 Response

I wrote a poem last night. It’s been a while since my inspiration has gone in such a poetic direction. It started writing itself in my head while I was in the shower, and when I got dried off and grabbed my notebook, this is what emerged. How to Make Love to a Priestess of […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Wake Me Up…

Published by on September 2, 2017 | Leave a response

It’s hard for me to believe that summer is coming to an end. This is an especially poignant time, as my beloved daughter ElvenTiger is moving to Colorado in less than two weeks (on the day before my birthday, as it happens). I’m so thrilled for her, to be launching herself into adulthood in such […]

Play Powers Creativity

Published by on July 20, 2017 | Leave a response

In the society we live in, it can be tempting to take things oh-so-seriously. I mean, that’s what the news media (and the advertising embedded within it) is all about. It’s jam-packed with fear, things going wrong, and how to plan for the worst case scenario. It’s based on doing The Right Thing and following the […]

Creativity As Portal

Published by on February 22, 2017 | Leave a response

Now and then when I talk to people about daily spiritual practice, they immediately get resistant. And defensive. Sometimes even blustery! (What’s up with that?) For some, meditation can seem boring, prayer outmoded, and the idea of a daily practice feels restrictive. Yet for many of the same people, talk to them about their favorite mode […]
