I Still Put on Lipstick Before he Gets Home: 25 Ways to Keep Your Love Alive.

The other day someone asked my partner, “hey how long have the two of you been together?” To be honest, we get that question a lot. After 21 years, people are surprised to see our connection. Some of it I attribute to a generous helping of pheromones. We’ve always had...

It may sound strange to be grateful for the origin It may sound strange to be grateful for the original wound but it has been the foundation of everything I have learned about myself and where I have choice. 
This teaching benefited not only my relationship with my mother (who is passed on but we'll ways be in relationship), yet has extended to many of my relationships, most notably the one with myself.
The most poignant choice I had made was to be responsible for my own life, for how I felt, how I responded to challenges, and how I loved and mothered myself. 

Wow, those were discerning steps!
Hiding behind 'no choice' hurt me. It wasn't easy to change habits, but it did get easier the more I practiced. 

I wrote down what worked for me. Transforming the Mother Wound. Sacred Practices for Healing Your Inner Wise Woman through Ritual and Grounded Spirituality. Available everywhere. 

Sending you love. 💞

Today was the day. I procrastinated by making app Today was the day.
I procrastinated  by making apple sauce, granola, pulling the last of the tomatoes in the garden, snacking, pacing, making tea, praying to my ancestors, lighting incense, figuring out a last minute snag as to why it wasn't sending... oy!

Even though I've been working on this proposal for several months, crossed every t, and dotted every i, there is so much hope with a proposal that one can't help feeling overwhelmed with emotions.

Where is the fainting couch? Chocolate? A long walk perhaps to move the energy?

There is nothing left to do but wait to hear back.

My neurodivergent writer clients have held up a re My neurodivergent writer clients have held up a revealing mirror to my own writing habits. They’ve come in full to the brim with ideas, dreaming of book two while we create book one, at once writing several literary categories; fictional and factual prose, poetry, blogs on a variety of topics dripping from their fingertips. And always with the same question… can I be a successful author if I don’t stick to one category?

And while we can get into a lengthy discussion about what success means to them, we always arrive at the same conclusion – they have a visceral desire for honoring creativity as it shows up. The misery would be not putting the thing to paper.

I used to think there was something wrong with me, because I have never been able to commit to one genre, one topic. Before I finish one project, I’m already writing an outline for the next. I have watched writer friends take off in a specific direction, become experts known for their style and subject. Have I indulged myself too much? What to do with the words that keep knocking at the door?

Write what is present. Be friends with your creativity and your personal writing path. A healthy writing practice is one that honors its truth. There are ways of organizing several writing projects and flowing between them if need be. The authors who have written many books all have one thing in common – they don’t say no to the flow, they trust their genius, and so can you!

"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny s "There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October. The sunshine is peculiarly genial... It seems to be of a kindly and homely nature."

Welcome October! You bring vibrant color, earthy scents under our feet, cosy evenings, sweaters, and Samhain. How can we not find joy in your warmth and exuberance?

I said what I said. This is another insidious way I said what I said.

This is another insidious way the patriarchy invades the consciousness of women. Blaming women for the actions of their sons. They knew it was wrong and we need to hold them accountable, not crap on their mothers, who may or may not be defending their sons, most mother's wouldn't want to beleive it, but they didn't do the crime.

Before I was published at Hay House, I was a self- Before I was published at Hay House, I was a self-published author.

In fact, it was my self-published book that was picked up by them.

Before my Transforming the Mother Wound book, I wrote a saucy Pagan Romantasy, that an editor told me not to publish because it would chase trad publishers away… which was rubbish advice that I did not adhere to.

We write and self-publish because we have something of value to say that is meaningful to us and to the world.

We write for our own satisfaction and for honoring the creativity coursing through our bones.

Self-publishing means that you are validating your own work, willing to be seen and heard in your authentic expression. It is as important as anything put out by a publishing house.

It’s no longer a dirty word, a sign of a failed writer – erase that trope from your consciousness!

In fact, publishing houses are scouring social media for writers and self-published authors.

There is a way to create your book to a professional standard, and to keep your creative vision intact, where your voice is never muted.

I've been honored to read wildly interesting manuscripts produced by my clients, who have made their publishing dream come true by believing in their work.
