Have you ever noticed that certain themes emerge in your life each year?

For me personally, these themes work themselves out in a 2-year cycle with a new primary year starting around my birthday every year.  The first year is usually a reordering of a particular area of [...]

For quite some time now, I’ve started my meditations in my Enchanted Forest.  I’ve met lovers there and friends, had men drink from my hands and lips and hug me for dear life from on their knees.  I’ve pulled them out of dark prisons, drifted on quiet lakes, let them sleep in my arms, [...]

Is it unethical to ask for a particular relationship with a particular person?

Some say yes, but when the heart is involved and you love the person whom you want a particular type of relationship with, you don’t want to settle for less.  You may be willing to have the [...]

Something startling happened in a couple of new relationships that were shaping up to be quite beautiful.  I didn’t understand and for several days, I’ve asked for understanding.  There were echoes of similiar relationships that ended suddenly, without an explanation at the time or an explanation that came later that I didn’t understand.  [...]

On this new eating style of mine, the rule is, I get to cheat once a week.  I suppose that’s a bit bizarre but there are two reasons for it:
1.  I would rebel too much against a diet that said NO [...]

When a well-known financial guru discussed the “dharma of money” recently, I was surprised.  This person didn’t strike me as particularly spiritual or metaphysical of mind, and what was described was actually the Law of Attraction in action at its finest.  This guru explained that the flow of money is important and [...]

I’m combining long-term intentions with daily intentions in two rather effective ways.
First, I hold my “morning strategy sessions with the Universe” at usually about 5:30 AM when I’m on my way to work.  I have time alone to
decide how I want my day to go, what I want to accomplish, what I [...]

The lunar eclipse of 20 February 2008 was quite pretty in the here-and-there moments that the cloud-cast sky allowed a peek.  
I love it when I can curl up in a blanket in the back yard hammock and watch an eclipse with one of the kids with me, but the best seat [...]

Remember my vow to “do something new today”? I’m not able to do something new every day, of course, or even to find the time to figure out something new to do, but I have been leaving myself open to new adventures whenever they might crop up. I did this on my [...]

When I’d finished explaining the trauma of being the sudden focus of thousands of people calling me a thief and a scammer,  the gifted intuitive on the other side of the table suggested I wasn’t telling her quite everything about why I’d made some particular business decisions to temporarily downsize my little publishing [...]

Every time I turn around, there’s a new book out about how to be happy. It seems we’d have enough already, but the audience is not only vast but growing. To top it off, an acquaintance asks me if I’m happy and I find myself hesitating to answer.
It’s not that I’m unhappy. [...]

As with most Mercury Retrogrades, people from my past are coming out of the woodwork, but the most amazing thing was not the phone call I received late today but in what happened before. I’m left with an odd feeling of intense interest, annoyance, and a little bit of [...]

Eclipses are wonderful times to harness the power of the moment for a personal new moon ritual. They also have a tendancy to surprise me with little messages that come up, sort of like a spiritual ad lib.
Last night under a bright smattering of stars, with grass under my bare feet [...]

This may be the most radical thing I’ve ever said, even by my own standards, but I caught a glimpse of something that shocked me. Bad things, I saw in that moment of clarity, are miracles in disguise.

I’m not talking about death or illness–though I honestly know that they sometimes can be miracles–but [...]

By the end of the first hour at the office, I was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t like it very much. Not that anything was particularly any weightier than usual. It was just the annoying little time and energy consumers that plague most work days and add unnecessary stress. [...]

On my way to work in the mornings, in the dark without a lot of traffic on the road, there seems to be much more time to think. It’s a quieter spot in the day, even though there’s really no obvious difference in driving to work 2 hours later. Yet, the energy [...]
