Starcat’s Favorites: Savoring the Hygge
It’s deep winter, here in the northern hemisphere. It’s either face-numbingly cold, or some form of icy water is falling from the sky. This isn’t a complaint, truly, despite my (ahem) tricky relationship with winter. It simply means that it’s time for some hygge. I’d be surprised if you hadn’t heard of hygge by now,…

Starcat’s Favorites: A Long Weekend
For the past ten years, I’ve worked the Thanksgiving weekend. This year, I have the whole long weekend off! It was good work – I filled in at the public radio station where I’d previously worked full-time for years. It felt good to be able to give the regular hosts a break, and the extra…

Starcat’s Favorites: Upleveling
How is it that the entire month of October is, well, over? Did it fly by for you like it did for me? I’m sure part of it is that I was away for a week. BlackLion and I finally got to go on our much-awaited vacation to Cozumel Island, Mexico! It was amazing. We…

Starcat’s Favorites: Autumn and Community
I’m loving the energies of autumn coming in. Can you feel it? This week’s Parallel PlayDate had a theme of community. I based the guided meditation and writing prompt on some reading I’d been doing on forests. Until fairly recently, scientists had thought the trees in a forest competed for resources. But it’s not true!…

Starcat’s Favorites: Road Trips
Late summer means… a road trip! This time to upstate New York, where we’re taking in a Dead & Company concert, then exploring the Finger Lakes area. As well as lounging by the pool! I love road trips. They’re like a longer version of an artist’s date, with lots of inspiring new input for the…

Starcat’s Favorites: Taking Time Off
When you work for yourself, especially when you’re doing something you truly love that’s part of your calling, taking time off can be a bit tricky. It’s hard to get away. I mean, my work is so fun! Sure, I have time during my work days to take a walk in the woods or have…

Starcat’s Favorites: Summer Sunshine
At last, it’s here! Glorious summer! I know, I know, it’s not everyone’s favorite time of year. So many people can’t tolerate the heat. But me? I love it! So, I’m celebrating. Last weekend I attended my best friend’s daughter’s graduation party, at the beach. It was such fun! It’s so fun to be able…

Starcat’s Favorites: Retreats!
I absolutely LOVE retreats. I love leading them. I love attending them. This week I attended my biz coach’s spring retreat. It was virtual and ran for three days. The picture is my space as I got ready for the first day. Yes, we use Tarot cards and candles at our biz retreat. You know…

Starcat’s Favorites: Dreaming Big
I’ve been busy dreaming BIG over here. It’s lighting me up in new ways, and I’m harnessing the energies of Spring to support my expansion. I’ve already written about that, though. Here’s what else I’ve been up to recently. What I’m reading: Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline. Apparently some people weren’t a fan of…

Starcat’s Favorites: Signs of Spring
Dare I say it before the month is really over? This March has been easier than I’d expected, given my rocky history with the transition from late winter to early spring. Maybe that’s because I’ve gone all in with my exquisite self-care. It could be the signs of spring. We’ve had some nice weather since…
