Lessons From the Sea Turtles

Lessons From the Sea Turtles

Published by on May 23, 2024 | Leave a response

It’s been a few weeks since I had one of the most powerful experiences of my life, and it has taken me a while to even attempt to write about it. It’s weird, because writing is my main form of creative expression. Usually, if something magickal happens, I long to try and capture it in […]

The Connection Between Dreams & Creativity

Published by on July 2, 2020 | Leave a response

I’ve always been a big-time dreamer. I have vivid dreams pretty much every night, and lots of times I can remember them. For a long time, I didn’t realize that wasn’t the norm. There was a period of my adult life when, for various reasons, I was repressing my natural creativity. Maybe “repressing” is a […]

Starcat’s Favorites: You Know It’s Summer

Published by on June 27, 2020 | Leave a response

At this time of year, when I think about my favorite things, it’s SUMMER that comes to mind. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you’re familiar with how much I love the warm season. Here in Maine, it means swimming, picnics, hikes, reading in the hammock, and long hot days. I […]

Personal Projects, No Pressure

Published by on May 12, 2020 | Leave a response

Creative people like us often have a bunch of projects underway at any given time. Despite what you might hear or read, this is a good thing. Our brains work differently from those who move in a linear fashion from one project to another. Creativity is less like a line and more like a wild, […]

It’s All One Thing

Published by on September 23, 2018 | Leave a response

Lately I keep dreaming of girl babies. In the first dream, my daughter was a tiny child, and she was upset and crying. Most of the dream was about trying to find out what was wrong, and to soothe her. (I called my daughter the next day, just in case, and she’s fine). In the […]

Summer Solstice Dreaming

Published by on June 26, 2018 | Leave a response

Last week was the Summer Solstice, and this week is the full moon – between the two, my dreams have been super crazy. I mean, even crazier than they normally are! Anyone else? In one, I was rollerblading in endless circles through this huge mansion with hundreds of rooms with wooden floors, and trooping down […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Back to It

Published by on September 5, 2015 | 1 Response

Don’t you just love September? After the crazy social whirlwind that is August for my family, I really relish that “back to school” vibe, the motivation to get organized and focused on what’s most important. Although I haven’t attended school for many years, and my unschoolers have never been at all, I always love the fresh […]

Leaving Space for the Mysteries

Published by on April 8, 2015 | 2 Responses

Sometimes it seems like we live in a world where everything that isn’t completely rational has been either brushed aside or ridiculed. If there’s no research proving it, forget about it. It’s kooky. If it doesn’t involve making or spending money, it’s not important. I used to listen to the NPR news all the time. Now […]

The Power of Dreaming

Published by on November 21, 2014 | Leave a response

I’m caught up in the throes of NaNoWriMo, dreaming up a novel that won’t be finished this month, though I will make the 50,000 word count by November 30th. So for today’s post I bring you a thought-provoking quote on dreams and creativity, from one of my favorite author duos, Seth and Jane Roberts. Enjoy! […]

A Contemplative Samhain

Published by on October 31, 2014 | Leave a response

Greetings. Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween to you! Joyful salutations of the Celtic New Year! I’m celebrating in a quiet and mellow space this year. Our Dark Follies gig that was originally scheduled for tonight was cancelled about a month ago, and I told ElvenTiger I’d give rides to she and her friends on Halloween, […]
