Weeks... maybe months have gone by as I have worked on my website. The moon has waxed and waned, another grandchild was born, a number of people have laughed and cried in my life and I find myself in a place of wonder. Not the kind of stunning wonder about how remarkable life is, but the kind that has me considering how I can help others achieve peace and success. Just yesterday a long time client was in tears because all the work she's done to improve her life and businesses seems to be for...

Mother moon and daughter star... perfect companions. The other day my oldest daughter ended up in the hospital with complications from her ongoing relationship with a faulty pancreas. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 19 years old & just beginning her life as an adult. When this first began over 15 years ago and the attending doctor at the SF hospital told us why my girl was so sick, I remember feeling the deepest sense of powerlessness that I've ever felt. That says a...

We are all inundated with information. Distraction is central to every day and having a single minded direction has to be a mental commitment rather than something needed for survival. Unless you live in a third world country, getting food and water is pretty straightforward. What that means is we could be striving for expansion and growth because most of our basic needs are met. This is not what actually occurs, is it? If there is time to grow, opportunity to grow and the resources to grow,...

Years ago, I had a bunch of small children under foot and their father’s mother and her husband living with us, too. We all got along very well and our lives were full with commotion, little people’s giggles and for me, new ideas that the grandparents brought to me. Having been raised in a typical, somewhat conservative family, being exposed to fringy sort of ideas of energy was uncommon, or better said unheard of. Most of the time, our family dialogs about our activities centered around...

Ghosting is a term used when someone you have been romantically involved with stops relating with you and they don’t say anything, they just stop taking calls, or answering texts and emails – they just go away. Gone, without a word. Until recently, I’d never heard of this term. Although it usually refers to romantic relations, any relationship can be handled this way! Seems that our culture abhors telling the truth, especially if it has the potential to create conflict or a difficult...

 " i hepping" Over the past many years, I didn't have to consider traveling because I couldn't. Between work & my ginormous family ... there wasn't time. In the past few years, I have had many more opportunities to travel... and taken them. Last fall I did manage to go to Malta (a tiny island country, off the coast of Sicily in the Mediterranean), which was something I have dreamt of for many years. This trip was inclusive of planes, trains and automobiles and gave me abundant sisters to...

As we get towards the end of this Mercury Retrograde time, we all need a moment to investigate what's happening. For me, the noise in my brain has been loud and I'm aware that nothing new has occurred to create the noise, but loads of things from prior life experience have certainly come up for review. This is the way of Mercury's backwards (apparently) motion. Review, regroup and don't forget -  renew. Mercury retrograde is a lot like cleaning out 'that' kitchen drawer - you know, that one...

We bought a house WAAAAAAAY out in the middle of somewhere, but not too many other folks live out here so...  I can only get satellite internet. If you've never used that, it's exactly how it was described to me by the guy I ordered it from. He said, "Well, if you're used to normal internet connection having satellite is kinda like this; You're in the desert, pretty lost and you're thirsty and starving. I'm the guy you run into who's got a moldy cracker and some brown water for you with lousy...

Thirty four years ago (give or take) I started on a path that was all encompassing, paid nothing monetarily, was physically painful, made me sleepless (for literally YEARS), was terribly expensive, confined my movement in the world, forced me to stretch beyond what I thought I could ever manage in all ways ... and did not garner me any real obvious "success" or cultural stability. In fact, the only way to know if I've done a good job is if the objects of my focus all left me and didn't really...
