Do you ever find yourself straying off course, feeling lost, and wondering how you missed the moment you stopped staying true to your Self? After all, you’ve worked so hard to cultivate fierceness and a strong sense of self, working through relationships, career, health or money issues – or any number of barriers that show […]
2019 Preview: Another Trip Around the Sun
Here we go on another trip around the sun, and like almost everyone writing blog posts at this time of the year, here’s my version of the 2019 Preview of coming attractions. As I looked back over 2018, there were some fabulous events and achievements. I was much more focused on what I wanted and […]
Winter Solstice: Conspiring with the Darkness
The day of winter solstice, I was in the kitchen preparing to make soup. To accompany my chopping and peeling and stirring I wanted some music to listen to. Christmas carols might seem like the perfect choice for this time of year. Instead, the CD I found myself pulling off the shelf was Maurice Durufle’s […]
2018 In Review: The Ups and Downs
Ah, yes, it’s time for the 2018 in review, with all its bright technicolor moments and all its dark nights. Dear 2018, Like any other year, you had your ups and downs, highs and lows, beginnings and endings. I loved parts of you, and other parts not so much. Like any year, you started off […]
Dear Patriarchy, It’s Time for You to Go
Dear Patriarchy, I see you, Patriarchy, an angry snarling beast trapped in a corner with no way out except to fight to the death. You are good for no one.

Women’s Anger is Real and It’s Here
Women’s anger is real, it’s uncomfortable, and it made a visit to my house recently. In the past two weeks, I experienced a tremendous degree of anger. Spit-nails and break-boards-with-my-bare-hands level anger. My anger gives me a window into a world where people act it out and hurt others, sometimes fatally. It scares me that […]
Get Stuff Done Without a TO DO List [GASP!]
Sometimes my To Do List seems endless. As I check off one item, I add two more. Yikes! Curiosity is a wonderful feminine energy, and I’ve decided to practise it by giving up my To Do List. Yes, the dreaded list-of-things-I-have-to-do-or-else. Here’s the experiment. Over several days I’m going to see what alternative I can […]
Time Management: a One Way Ticket to Overwhelm
What???? Time management is a ticket to overwhelm? You’re probably thinking That Doesn’t Make Sense! I know. What articles on productivity have you read that suggest tossing clocks, watches, and the concept of time management? Probably none. But what if there’s an alternative? What if instead of feeling pressed for time, you felt like you had all […]
Body Wisdom: Why It’s Important to Listen
Body wisdom can’t be understood rationally. The language of the body is completely different than that of the mind. Body wisdom speaks to us long before we know and accept something with our minds. Why, then, do we not pay more attention to the feedback? Perhaps it’s because we’re at odds with our bodies, or […]
