Change, Minus All the Judging

Published by Starcat on April 15, 2014 | Leave a response

I had a really sedentary winter, and now I’m making some changes with the spring. Changes like moving more, doing my yoga every morning, and eating less sugar and fat. It didn’t all happen this winter, either. Over the last few years I’ve put on weight, probably partly as a result of getting older (that […]

A Sigh of Relief

Published by Starcat on April 8, 2014 | 1 Response

It’s April 8th, and I’m finally adjusted the fact that March is over and winter is really done. Granted, there’s still quite a bit of snow out in the yard, but the piles are getting smaller every day. Daytime temperatures are consistently in the upper 40s to mid 50s, the sun has been out, and […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Hints of Spring

Published by Starcat on March 22, 2014 | Leave a response

We celebrated the Spring Equinox this week, and I’m noticing hints of spring all around. No, in our case, not even the crocuses have been able to poke their first shoots up above the snow. But the sun is getting stronger, the sap is running, and it’s still light out as I write this at […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Fruits of Hibernation

Published by Starcat on February 1, 2014 | Leave a response

Happy weekend all! Yes, it’s still pretty darn cold. So yes, I’m still in hibernation mode. But it’s been a very productive quiet season thus far. The most exciting thing I have to share is that BlackLion and I have completely revised and redesigned our Feline Dreamers website. We added some adorable artwork (by BlackLion!) […]

Free Kids Rock

Published by Starcat on January 30, 2014 | Leave a response

I spend a fair amount of time with kids, mostly kids in the homeschooling and unschooling community. The majority of them have much more freedom in their lives than you and I did at their age, or than most of their public-schooled peers do now. And I’m impressed. These kids are some of the most […]

Hibernation, Schedules & Transformation

Published by Starcat on January 22, 2014 | Leave a response

I started my yoga practice up again yesterday. It’s an off-and-on thing for me. I’m trying a new routine for the days where I’m working from home, for myself. When I wake up, I write in my daily diary, then get up and ready for the day. It starts on the yoga mat, and then […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Welcome 2014!

Published by Starcat on January 4, 2014 | Leave a response

I did two things yesterday that told me it’s really the new calendar year, and that the sun’s light is returning. The first one is that we took down and put away all our Solstice and Christmas decorations, including the tree. Well, we did leave some festive faerie lights strung up around the house, to […]

Aspirations or Inspirations?

Published by Starcat on December 27, 2013 | Leave a response

Usually at this time of year, I start feeling motivated and excited to charge right into the new year. Last year I switched things up a bit, and decided to focus on intentions rather than goals. Still, I think the underlying motivating force was essentially the same: I was aspiring to improve my experience, to […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Snuggling In

Published by Starcat on December 14, 2013 | Leave a response

As I write this, the snow has just begun. We’re promised a pretty significant storm, so we’re snuggling in and working on projects, and planning to sleep in tomorrow. Hurrah for a white Christmas! And for not having to go out and drive around in the mess. We put our tree up yesterday, and we’re […]

So Thankful

Published by Starcat on December 12, 2013 | Leave a response

My gratitude project is going well. I’ve been having a tough time this fall. I’m grieving the death of my friend, going through some kind of rather intense spiritual transformation, and have managed to injure my lower back. Bleah. Yet every day, when I get ready to list the 3 things I’m thankful for that […]
