Blue Moon Intentions

Published by on August 4, 2015 | Leave a response

Last week was the Full Blue Moon. The Blue Moon is the second full moon of a calendar month, and the phenomenon only happens about every 3 years, or 33 moons. Since the calendar we use is a human-made system, you could say that the significance of this is kind of a made up thing. […]

Summer gets busy around here. It’s especially so when you live in a northern clime and want to savor every moment of the warmth, sunshine, and blooming. During the summer months, we always try to fit in extra time outdoors for swimming, hiking, and exploring – alongside the usual work, family time, household chores, and […]

You Already Know the Answer (Decisions Redux)

Published by on June 17, 2015 | Leave a response

A while back I wrote about how hard it can be to make decisions. After some further musing on decision making, I’ve come to the realization that most of the time when you’re faced with a choice, you already know the answer. By “the answer,” of course, I mean that you know the choice that will work […]

Our weekly homeschool co-op is done for the summer, lacrosse season is over, and we’re shifting into summer mode around here.

Are You Getting Enough Play Time?

Published by on June 9, 2015 | Leave a response

Your first response to the title of this post might be something like: “Are you kidding? With all the work I have to do? My list is a mile long!” The question still stands. You’re not going to do quality work without plenty of time to play. Of course, the ideal thing is when your […]

How to Encourage Lifelong Learning in Your Family (and Yourself)

Published by on May 26, 2015 | Leave a response

This morning I was excitedly detailing in my journal the curriculum I have lined up for the rest of 2015. Nope, not for the kids – for myself. Nope, I’m not kidding or being sarcastic. I have a stack of books and notebooks ready, along with e-books and videos. My topics of study range from […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Follow the Bliss

Published by on April 25, 2015 | Leave a response

What’s been lighting up your world this week? I’ve been recovering from a head cold, so I’m moving slowly. But even so, I’ve been following my bliss as often as I can. This week it means walks with my son and a bunch of happy dogs, working with BlackLion on revising our novel, hula-hooping to SuperHeavy […]

The Gift of Creativity

Published by on April 20, 2015 | Leave a response

Today marks the start of a new offering here at Starcat’s Corner. From time to time, I’ll be presenting a Tarot card and then taking a look at a related topic through the lens of that card. I’ve been working with the Tarot since 1997, and I find that it shines a different kind of light […]

Creativity, Spirituality, and a New Notebook

Published by on April 15, 2015 | Leave a response

This week I’d intended to write a post for you about the connection between creativity and spirituality. In my experience, I’ve discovered that the two are delightfully entwined. When I focus on my creativity, it expands my sense of connection with the entire cosmos. This increases my personal joy and my sense that I’m doing […]
