đ The Gratitude Wake Up Call đ
I read a post from an old acquaintance, a brilliant artist, sharing about her stage 4 breast cancer journey. Much about the telling was moving and fierce but there was one part that I can’t stop thinking about. A yoga practitioner for over 30 years, she spoke about the first sun salutation...
Change. Coaching tips for greater resilence.
In my 30âs, when someone cancelled or changed plans, I remember how quick I was to judge them as âflakyâ or unreliable. I held myself to the same standards and prided myself on integrity, punctuality and follow through. I was very busy being an over-achiever. In my 40âs, my feminine awakening...
It’s time to do the work that needs to be done
The shock of George Floydâs horrifying murder (along with so many others recently) has confronted me anew with the systemic racism that underpins every level of this society. Also my complicity in that system as a white woman who benefits from it. The truth is painful. And it cannot be avoided if I am truly a woman committed to awakening, consciousness and love.
Sacred Pause in the Bedroom
I confess that Iâm a post-menopausal woman whoâs feeling more deeply satisfied sexually than Iâve ever felt in my entire life. Itâs even better (way better, frankly) than during my wild polyamorous decade when I had some truly hot lovers and crazy amazing sexapades (there was all that drama but thatâs another chapter).
One of the most significant moments of the year
With the hustle-bustle of holidays upon us, Iâm reaching out to make sure you donât miss the golden opportunity of the solstice on Saturday. This potent tipping point, heralding the longest night here in the North (or the apex of the light in the Southern Hemisphere) is a celestial gift of transformation for those paying attention and ready to receive.
Broken Hearted Gratitude
On this eve of the holiday we call Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I find myself in a paradox of gratitude and grief. Iâm reminded anew that âawakening,â while offering us the keys to liberation, also asks us to unlock our denial, to see the ways weâve been complicit in our own imprisonment. Itâs the shadow, the contraction necessary before birth, the yucky part.
Rings True
The day before our national âIndependenceâ holiday and within hours of the New Moon eclipse, my wedding rings disappeared. It seems they didnât want to be married to me anymore. They wanted their freedom. They were eclipsed.
Spoken Words on Ecstasy and The Change
I have a new poem-piece to share with you, playing with words to express my current moment of post-menopausal sensuality. May it give you hope if you’re in the heat of it, allay some of the fear if it’s on the horizon, and bring you a smile if you’re on the other side. No matter...
Meeting the Desire for Masculine Attention
A coaching client reached out recently with this question: “I have been single for a very long time and, while I don’t experience loneliness and fully enjoy my solitude, I notice that occasionally, I will get hit pretty hard with a very specific craving for masculine attention. A...
Overcome Obstacles the Shakti Way
As Spring arrives and appears to effortlessly bloom with possibility, what do you do when all this fertility just aggravates your own desire to grow, pushing you up against obstacles? ââââMake no mistake about it, the arising of anything new will inevitably bring up old stuff that needs clearing...
