Tomorrow I am realizing a 20 year dream and buying a beach/country house. (Woot!!) Although I have been studiously eyeing the market for years, it all happened super quickly: Accepted offer within hours, signed contracts 3 days later, and closing within a month. I have a baby, and BAM: grounding. Long term vision, adulting things I’ve […]

permission to Love: what receiving really looks like
My doula asked me the other day, “What else do you need me to know to create the environment you need for birth?” And she asked in a moment that caught me off guard, so the answer wasn’t sitting at the tip of my tongue. (Unusual for a woman who’s always sharp on tongue and answers. ;)) […]

Just do it. Progress. ‘Merica. Build. Dream. Reach. Push. Hustle. Even flow these days is associated with progress: instantaneous manifestation! Attract it to you! No one celebrates the down times. Note, they’re even called “down” times. (Not a cheerleading adjective for the poor ebb.) Europeans do ebb. They have ebb down pat. All of August […]
>> keep readingongoing convo: the new feminine lead
So… clearly I found a hot button topic. Last week I asked you loves to offer names of men and women who were outwardly “successful” and seeming to lead from the emerging feminine paradigm. I was a little floored by the response. I received dozens of emails, many of them not a name or two, […]

“We are too often lost in the abyss of unawareness. We regularly miss the energy and blessings around us, and the importance of this very moment. It’s as though we prefer to be elsewhere doing something else, as if we are living in distant time zones, hours behind or ahead of the joyous tick and […]
>> keep readingSpirituality isn’t about “getting stuff.” It’s about sexiness.
I want stuff, who doesn’t want stuff? Now let me be the first to say, my immediate “go to” when I want something, is my spiritual bag of tricks. I’ll chant, meditate, intend, call out, puja, homa, divine in, and use every tool, practice and resource I have out of thousands of hours of experience […]

There was a moment a week ago, I seriously considered hopping into the Hudson River. I was over it. Finished. Done. Willing to give up. It was a rough month. A month where everything I had faith in and held dear was swept away, and my frustrated, angry sack o’ cells was left spent, annihilated, […]

I was pretty spot on with how I anticipated the conversation might unfold, and true to form: “Mom, there’s an interview online at a really terrific site; it’s me talking about human evolution.” “Margaret do you have any dates set up for this weekend?” My mother’s concern for human evolution is much more localized than […]

>When I was in Chicago last month, I was to meet my sister’s boyfriend. I don’t need to get into specifics, but let’s just acknowledge that my mom won’t even consider an introduction. She refuses to accept that they are together and wholeheartedly disapproves of the entire situation. Mom’s kinda playing the old-school, unfair, crazypants […]

>Today I cried. And cried. And cried. And I am not, never have been, a crier. I’ve almost always been envious of criers. Even lying on a yoga mat, going through meditations dispelling grievances, I listened to a bestie’s unmistakable avalanches of tears in the nearby front row, admiring, “wow, she really lets herself go […]
