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 […]

Starcat’s Favorites: It’s Official!

Published by on March 21, 2015 | Leave a response

Well, it’s officially Spring! The vernal equinox was yesterday, so in calendar terms at least, we’re entering the warmer part of the year. I’m so glad! Today, I’m even willing to wait a while for the true blessings of spring to show up: flowers, green grass, baby birds, and walking barefoot. With daytime temperatures still […]

Banishing the March Blues

Published by on March 14, 2015 | Leave a response

It seems like every year around this time I go through some kind of emotional struggle, or even a physical illness. It’s an old familiar pattern. Even when I start the year off with exciting goals and intentions, March is when things seem to crash. Here in northern New England, while there are some signs […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Slowly, Slowly

Published by on February 16, 2015 | Leave a response

This winter has been especially snowy here in northern New England, as I’m sure you’ve heard by now. I don’t know if that’s contributing to my own desire for extended hibernation or not, but I’m not complaining. When the latest winter storm cancels my plans, I’m happy to stay at home. I’ve been moving slowly, relishing […]

Barefoot In the Snow!

Published by on February 2, 2015 | 1 Response

Guess what? I did it! I took the dare and went outside in the storm to feel the snow under my bare feet. It felt unexpectedly good. Very invigorating! I felt tingly from the soles of my feet all the way up through the top of my head. It could have been the full moon. […]

A Slow Start

Published by on January 9, 2015 | Leave a response

How’s your 2015 so far? Are you still writing 2014 when you need to note the date? Have you taken any steps toward your big goals yet? Are you still ready to take on the world? Or maybe, not so much. If you’re like me, the first week of 2015 might have been a bit […]

A Little Extra Sunshine for Your Spirit

Published by on November 8, 2014 | Leave a response

Here in the northern hemisphere, it’s late autumn. The leaves have fallen from the trees and Mother Nature is ready for her long winter’s nap. In the U.S., daylight savings time means that it now gets dark at 4:30 in the afternoon. Yeesh. I don’t know about you, but that can make me want to […]

What Is Your Foundation?

Published by on November 5, 2014 | Leave a response

What are your most important priorities in life? The really super big ones? It’s okay to pause for a moment and get philosophical. This is late autumn, the dark time of the year, a chance to go inward and seek what is most meaningful to you. Take your time. When you’re ready, pick two or three […]

Why Fae?

Published by on October 8, 2014 | 2 Responses

One of my many projects (me? overcommit? nah!) is blogging for a brand new inspiring website that’s going to be launched soon. I’m one of a dozen or so bloggers. We all have superhero-style titles as part of our pen names, like Taran the Magnificent (yeah, I totally made that example up). The one I […]

Finding Joy Where You Are

Published by on October 7, 2014 | Leave a response

It’s been a hectic and crazy autumn thus far. I wasn’t sure I was coping very well. Between grieving and stress and hormones and lack of down time, I wasn’t in the joyful space where I wanted to be. Then it was fair and festival time. Two of the past three weekends I’ve spent outdoors, […]
