Four steps to opening to the feminine for your nourishment. This post is the sequel to a guest post I did on Molly Gordon’s Authentic Marketing blog. The first post had all the here’s-what’s-going-on and this post is the how-to-tap-in. If you haven’t read the first post, do so first, then pop back ...
Clenching Up for Fun and Profit?
Yoga is described sometimes as the union of effort and surrender. In asana practice (if you're not familiar, asana is the Sanskrit word that describes all those bendy stretchy balance-y poses), the point isn't just to break a sweat or stretch your hams, but to have an embodied experience of universal truths. The ...
7.21.10 Brags, Grats, & Desires
My intent with these mostly-weekly brags, grats, and desires is that you join me and as a community we lift one another up by sharing where we're rockin', thankin', and open to receive even more! The full explanation is here. I brag that: - My wonderful husband celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with dinner at ...
Skydiving and Life: No Turning Back
Taking a leap can be as scary as it is exciting. I went skydiving once, and I put my foot out on the strut under the wing, leaned back into the fuselage and decided I didn’t want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. I had an instructor carabinered to my back, though, so ...

Heat Worth Basking In
I love summer nights when you can be outside, sleeveless, and feel warm and comfortable. I love the heat radiating from a roaring fire. And I love laying in the ocean, cool water supporting me as ...
Jackie Chan’s Failure-Recovery Formula
Kurt and I went to our first film of the 2010 Seattle International Film Festival last night. A new Hong Kong Jackie Chan movie called Little Big Soldier. Throughout the movie, Jackie’s character greets “good news” and “bad news” alike with the thought, “how marvelous.” Once, after he’s lost the enemy general he’d been ...
Happy Is Helpful
My husband Kurt’s facebook posting yesterday: “I planted hydrangeas for my girlie.” And I kept him company. He thanked me, and I said, "What am I doing?" He said, "Just your being here is helping me." We’ve both been working hard on the yard for about a month, now, but as I think back on ...
Brags, Gratitudes, and Desires
I have been practicing the art of gratitude since 1996, when Sarah Ban Breathnach's book Simple Abundance guided so many of us to begin keeping a gratitude journal. Then, in 2009, my friend Kim Shirley introduced me to the work of Regena Thomashauer, aka "Mama Gena," a NYC-based actress-turned-trainer-of-women in really activating their feminine power. Of ...
Lost Your Mojo, Too?
Sometimes our business is doing well – or well enough – but WE aren’t doing so well. I’ve been there. I figured out why. And my intent with this article is to be of help if you’re up to your eyeballs in the same predicament. The light has dimmed. You’re not ...
