đ¸ What’s emerging in you?
Maybe youâre in a fever of creativity and ready to burst forth with all youâve been gestating during this collective underworld cycle weâve been through. Iâm inspired to see dharma sisters who have already composted the experiences of the last year into fertilizer, resulting in miracle grow gardens full of colorful offerings. Wow!
How to get better at receiving
Weâve been taught that itâs “better to give than to receive” and for a lot of us, that feels very true. We like being the giver. We want to be of service, make a contribution. If weâre honest, it can also make us feel superior, more in control, on “top.” Nothing wrong with...
Vday: The Good, Bad & Some Truth-Telling
Valentineâs Day approaches. I know how annoying and confronting this holiday can be if your romantic life is shaky or non-existent. I remember the pain of trying to rally for it when my first marriage was falling apart. The years when it was all about the kids and I threw myself into baking...
Feeling a little wobbly? It’s not just you
Reaching out to you when Iâm wobbly is much harder than when Iâm winning but I know itâs just as important. Because I believe this is part of our feminine practice, the tantric path of embracing all and rejecting nothing. Can we bring love to the whole mess of this worldâthe beauty, banality and brutality of it?
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.
WELCOME
I invite you to remember that Shakti, your divine feminine life force, is alive and well, in your body, heart and soul. It is my passion to support the awakening of more love on this planet. And that begins with you. May you be blessed, nourished and resourced by what you discover here.
