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, […]

>This week I met Everett Bogue, who I adored from afar. I tweeted him; a flagging follow up to a cheeky, but true-to-the-core email, suggesting perhaps a coffee or drink in his upcoming travels, and before I knew it, we had next day plans to cart around a sleeping bag in Chicago, which, incidentally, never […]

>I’m not sure how much this is solely an American thing or if it is universally, innately part of our nature, but man oh man, we love flash. We want it to be a limited time offer, and we want to be in on the deal. And I am not excluding myself from this, by […]
