  • Sovereignty & Synchronicity: Some Thoughts

    My Word of the Year for 2020 was SOVEREIGN. I know we’re in a whole new year (my Word for 2021 is MAGICK!), but I’ve still been experimenting with the concept and practice of sovereignty. To me, being sovereign is about being centered in your own experience, and leading from a place of grace and…

  • The Tidingdale Literary Collective

    Spring has finally fully arrived, here in northern New England. I’m feeling the urge to emerge from hibernation, at last! That’s still a bit complicated, thanks to the pandemic lingering and so forth, but that’s okay. I’m good with a mindful rollout. During the late Winter and early Spring, much of my creativity has been…

  • Starcat’s Favorites: Self-Acceptance

    Hey there! The title of this post, self-acceptance, is around feeling some guilt (I know, Mom, “no guilt”) about not posting here much lately. I’ve had lots of ideas, but haven’t yet taken the time to sit down and share them with you. The acceptance is fairly easy, actually, because I’ve been doing lots of…

  • Magick is Afoot!

    BlackLion and I hosted a Vision Board PlayShop this week on the Full Moon, via Zoom. Seventeen of us gathered in (virtual) sacred space to craft our visions and intentions for the new year. It was so powerful doing this in community with these wonderful co-creators and Thriving Artists! What a blessing. This is my…

  • What’s Stopping You From Doing The Thing?

    You know the thing I mean. The one that is of deep priority to your soul…yet you never quite seem to get to it. It gets continually moved forward on your (written or mental) to-do list. It could be a creative project, like writing a book, starting a band, or taking a class in that…

  • Standing for Social Justice and Equality

    I consider myself an ally to people of color. In the past, I didn’t often write about it publicly because I hesitated to offend – not offend racists, who cares? – I mean I don’t want to offend the very allies I wish to support. But I want to talk about it here, because it’s…

  • Travel and the Creative Soul

    What comes to mind when you hear the word “adventure?” For me, it’s a no-brainer. Adventure means TRAVEL. Travel feeds my creative soul like nothing else. I first caught the travel bug when I was a shy teenage Girl Scout. The longer I stayed in Girl Scouts, the fewer peers and the smaller the troop…

  • Getting Out of Your Own Way

    I’ve been having some “aha” moments and mini-epiphanies as we make our way into 2020. They hit me in a powerful way that’s already helping me grow. Yet when I look at these messages from spirit, they seem remarkably simple. They are things I either knew already (intellectually, anyway), or probably should have known. That…

  • My 2020 Vision

    This has been an unusual holiday season, for a variety of reasons. Not bad, just different. A bit more chaotic and scattered. A lot of letting go and allowing things to unfold as they will. Which is part of the lesson. I think of myself as a recovering control freak, and sometimes the recovery goes…

  • Ease, Revisited

    EASE is my Word of the Year for 2019. I’ve been practicing it for quite a while now, and writing about it here, too. This summer I’ve uncovered a whole new level of ease – and also my hidden resistance to it. Here are some notes from the field: There are layers of resistance to…
