Creativity Begets More Creativity

Published by on November 25, 2013 | Leave a response

I saw a quote on a writing page about writers being “drained” after a couple hours of writing. In my experience, that’s just not true. Lately I’ve been working on my novel for NaNoWriMo nearly every day. When I finish a session of writing, I feel exhilarated and happy. I’m not saying that it’s always […]

I Lost It

Published by on November 16, 2013 | Leave a response

I’ve lost it. No, it’s not like I freaked out or anything, although that can happen to any of us from time to time. Not my sanity, per se. I mean, I lost the list of links that I had planned to share with you today. I’m not sure how it happened. Perhaps I was […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Settle In…

Published by on November 3, 2013 | Leave a response

…with a cup of your favorite beverage. Starcat’s Favorites is back! Even through the busy times and the grief, I’ve been reading and gathering links. Reading is my lifelong refuge, my favorite comfort food, my natural state of being. The last time I shared favorites was in late August, so I have a lot of […]

Ah, November…

Published by on November 1, 2013 | 1 Response

I’m so glad that November has arrived. That’s not something I would normally say. I’m a summer girl, and I also love early fall, but when the skies get really grey and the days are so short, that’s not necessarily when I’m in my element. But it is this year. August was busy, as it […]

In This Moment…

Published by on October 23, 2013 | Leave a response

My sweet soul sister V. over at Gypsy Om put up a writing prompt on her Facebook page, a lovely sky picture with the words “in this moment…” So I spontaneously decided to use it to write a blog post. Here goes. In this moment, I’m thankful for so many things: homemade split pea soup […]

It’s Alright

Published by on October 14, 2013 | 6 Responses

I’m having a hard time getting back into some of my usual creative outlets, like blogging, since my friend passed away. It’s odd how grief shows up in different ways for each person. The other thing that’s dropped away is my usual talent for planning and scheduling – which may be a good thing, though […]

Walking Between the Worlds

Published by on September 20, 2013 | Leave a response

I see that I haven’t written here for quite some time. The past two weeks have been rather intense. A good friend of mine, the same age as me, has terminal cancer, which she’s been living with for over a year. She just went into hospice care on September 6th. As well as being a […]

Nearly Ready

Published by on August 12, 2013 | Leave a response

This summer has been a whirlwind of intense energies. Are you feeling it, too? My astrologer friends have been talking about all the powerful conjunctions, squares, and oppositions affecting us, not only individually but as a culture. It makes sense to me. We made it through the portal that was 2012, the end of the […]

Having Good Tools

Published by on August 7, 2013 | Leave a response

As I mentioned in my last post, I have just joined the world of smartphones. Before this, I had the same cell phone since 2006, and we’d gotten rid of our land line at about that same time. I mostly used the phone, well, to make phone calls, plus as an alarm clock when I […]

Starcat’s Favorites: August Already?!

Published by on August 3, 2013 | Leave a response

The month of July seemed to zoooooom right by! As I’ve written before, August is perhaps the busiest month of the year for me and my family. So, here goes! Some of the projects and fun things I’m involved with this crazy month: family birthdays, finalizing details for our trip to Texas for our Rethinking […]
