Despite what the thermometer (or the snow on the ground) may say–Spring has finally sprung!   Spring is one of my favorite times of year.  It’s all about pressing that reset button!  All that was dead and dried up comes back to life.  Warmth stirs our wombs and the womb of Mother Earth.  Babies of […]

It’s time to admit to a pet peeve of mine . . .   I hate it when sages, coaches and other guru types tell people to STOP dreaming, often so that they can START doing.   This implies, for me, that people who are dreaming AREN’T DOING ANYTHING!   This couldn’t be further from […]

Let’s face it, 2016 hasn’t exactly been an easy year for many of us.  If it wasn’t the neverending election season and continuing political angst, it was personal drama of one kind or another.  Even if 2016 was a great year, it came with a lot of change and challenge.  Now that 2016 is almost […]

Way back when I was publishing on a regular basis, people would ask me all the time what the secret to getting published was.  I would always answer–finish the damn book.  You can’t get noticed by an agent or an editor if you don’t get your book out of your head and onto the paper. […]

It’s once again that most wonderful time of the year when we celebrate, Hanukah, Christmas, Yule, Kwanzaa and the Winter Solstice.  As always I am struck with how the myths and stories we tell ourselves this time of year have been changed, co-opted, Bowdlerized and sanitized for mass consumption, leaving our true spiritual legacy on […]

With Thanksgiving just a day away, I want to tell you how grateful I am for your continued support and encouragement and to wish each of you and your famillies and loved ones enjoys a happy, healthy, love-filled holiday. In honor of Black Friday, I am offering two specials to help with your “holiday” shopping. Everything […]

At a recent holistic conference I was asked to speak about how to make 2016 your breakthrough year.  For many women, the coming year seems to be a pivotal one.  Folks who have been on the fence about their lives are suddenly ready to take action and take their futures into their own hands. That’s […]
