I’ve heard tales of a wonderland most enchanted, a blue and emerald planet of water and shifting ground. Gods and goddesses and enormous creatures ruled the places where rows of red houses line the hillsides and the children now play. It is said that feathered beasts came from fearfully great lizards. And before that, from…
Good Work
Whatever you’re experiencing right now, we’re right there with you.
There are so many beautiful reasons to love yourself. Here’s one to start with… Whatever you’re experiencing right now, whatever thoughts, feelings, or habits, we’re right there with you. You’re never alone in your experiences, and nothing can separate you from our shared human experience. This is the philosophy I share on Day 8 of…
Something to tide you over through the doubt. (To rooting for goodness.)
Children run and shout outside my house. Bruised knees and sticky hands speak of good sweat and endless summers. Children look out from the tv screen with fear and hunger in their eyes. Some have no shoes, no parents. Some have innocence in them yet. She sings an aria onstage. Her elegant gown sparkles…
For the lost days, the troubles, and the fire in your belly.
Tenderness is a solution. But then, there’s also planning. Breathing is therapeutic. So is goal-setting. Clear priorities have medicinal properties. Magic waits in every baby step. Inspiration feeds authentic action. Your response to life’s challenges can be systematic or something more limber, more spacious. Choose a time to act or choose to wait consciously as…
Do you have your back? New book + questions for you!
It’s July! I’m back from my June break, refueled, enthused, and bursting with things to share. I have to admit, though, I put off writing this because I felt like I needed something more profound to tell you than “I had a nice break, rested, and wrote a lot.” As if it’s not enough to…
What Lies Beyond These Walls
I long to tell her, “Yes, yes. Come this way.” But it’s best she hears it from inside. – Love.From Love, Child. Love. There are walls upon walls upon walls in me, and I’ll admit it, I built them myself. I laid them down, brick by brick with my own two hands. I used to see…
Let us love the Earth today.
Time with Mother Earth always leaves me feeling amazed and deeply grateful. Her sweet songs and scenes remind me of all I am a part of. I’ve confided in her many wandering paths and found my truest self hidden in acorns and sunsets. But it breaks my heart a little, too. I see the trash on…
Softer still and a colorful sneak peek!
For about two years, softer still has been my mantra. It came to me at a time of transition in my family when I felt pressured (by me) to make things take a linear, orderly path. Forcing things to look just so has never worked. Even if I get the details right or hit the target, the process feels…
Words for Finding Your Way
You are a traveler in this land, and while you’re here, you will move and be moved. In the process of your progress, become the ocean wave that rolls with elegance and sincerity. Burst into joyous dance as you celebrate the shores. With an open heart, point yourself in the direction of the things you…
In the quiet, from deep within, the answer came to you.
You were born under a meteor shower. Shooting stars raced through the night, sharing their stardust to celebrate your arrival. The sun had not slept at all in anticipation of you. She brought the morning early in honor of your birth. “For love, Child. Love,” she said as she covered the sky in fire and…
