    Happy weekend! Hard to believe that it’s the end of May already. How has your spring been going? Mine’s been a bit crazy, but I seem to be settling into the ramped-up energies of this time of year. This week has been filled with creative work on the novel revisions, getting outdoors between raindrops, yoga,…

    I find that as I get older, it gets easier and easier to stay in the flow. I used to constantly compare myself to others, and often found myself wanting. Everyone else had more friends, more money, a more beautiful home, or whatever. I didn’t want to be gossiped about, but I didn’t want to…

    Almost a month ago I revived my daily practice of yoga. What a difference it’s making in my world! Not only does my body love it, but yoga helps calm my mind, open up my emotions to flow more freely, and rev up my imagination. Just in the past couple of days, my practice has…

    I’ve been on this self-love journey for a few years now, and I’m finding that there is always more to learn. What I’ve been unfolding lately is the complex subject of approval-seeking. One of my self-love affirmations is “I love and approve of myself.” The “approve” part is coming into focus. During a recent discussion…

    My dear friend Jenn passed away on Tuesday, very peacefully, surrounded by family and friends. I was honored to be there with her, and I could feel, very powerfully, the energies of her guides as they helped her cross to the other side. There is much more that I could say, but the feelings are…

    Okay, it’s confession time. Do you ever struggle with loving yourself? How do you talk to yourself, in the privacy of your own mind? Do you treat yourself with loving compassion? Come on, ‘fess up. If you’re like most of us, you don’t treat yourself as kindly as you’d like. You criticize, you judge, you…

    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…

    How often do you take time to touch base with yourself? I don’t mean just looking over your to-do list, or noticing that you need a haircut. I’m talking about some focused solitude, where you turn off Facebook and the TV and really listen to how you’re doing. It’s something I forget to do sometimes,…

    The winter of 2011 is when I first got started, in a focused way, on a quest to learn to love myself. More than two years in, it’s going amazingly well. Loving myself has made such a huge difference in my life! I’m more joyful, less stressed, and more accepting of life’s vicissitudes. I’m also…
