Why All the Struggling? (A Rant)

Published by on February 21, 2019 | Leave a response

When I was a little kid, I wanted to be a writer. I was drawn to the magick of stories almost as soon as I arrived on the planet. I started reading at age four, and became a voracious bookworm. I took a notebook and pen everywhere I went. I loved to study and learn. […]

3 Tips for Loving What You Do

Published by on February 13, 2019 | Leave a response

One of the best gifts I’ve given myself in my adult life is to do what I love, and love what I do. I’m not exaggerating when I say it has completely changed my life, in so many positive ways. It’s especially vital for creative types, and those drawn to spiritual matters – yeah, I’m […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Transformation

Published by on January 26, 2019 | Leave a response

We’re already almost finished with the first month of 2019, but I’m finding that I’m still processing 2018. Can you relate? It was a hugely transformational year for me and my family. We became empty-nesters. Quester broke his ankle, badly, and had to have (not one but two) surgeries. BlackLion got a new job outside […]

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 […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Sun & Water

Published by on September 1, 2018 | Leave a response

It’s no secret that I love summer. This one has been especially hot and humid here in Maine. Most people I know have spent time complaining about it. Not me. It’s actually a joy to me to feel super warm. I know, I’m strange. After a rough winter and spring, though, this summer has been […]

Ease or Struggle?

Published by on July 18, 2018 | Leave a response

Offered the choice between ease and struggle, most of us would be like, “Duh! Of course I want ease!” But is that really what you’re choosing? I’ve been asking myself this recently, in my journal. I just finished a huge project, a 31-day email course on writing that I poured my heart and soul into. […]

Spreading the Love – The Joys of Snail Mail

Published by on July 3, 2018 | Leave a response

This past spring, when I was feeling very shaken from all the crazy stuff going on in my personal life, a good friend made a wonderful suggestion. We were both attending the same biz retreat (we have the best coach!). In a small group, we were asked to talk about things that were holding us […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Extra Self-Care

Published by on February 3, 2018 | Leave a response

It’s that time of year – the winter blahs have set in. Yes, the days are longer and there is the promise of spring. At the same time, at least here in northern New England, it is still quite cold and damp. The perfect time for extra self-care! I’ve been practicing compassion for myself and […]

Starcat’s Favorites: Transformation and Witchery

Published by on November 18, 2017 | Leave a response

Wow. What an autumn it’s been so far. I’ve been undergoing a huge transformation – which seems to be a theme for many of us, lately. I like to think that the Universe is helping us spiritually-focused types to “level up” (to use a gaming term), so that we can continue to help with the […]

It’s That Time of Year

Published by on November 2, 2016 | Leave a response

I woke up this morning with no blankets, and one tiny corner of the bed where I was squished to the edge of the mattress. Why? Snuggling dogs. We have two medium-sized dogs, who somehow become Great Big Giant Bed-Stealing Canines when the weather gets cooler. Still, they’re so cute – who could kick them […]
