Welcome December: Calling It In
You won’t know if you have what you want unless you know what it looks like or feels like. So, as I welcome in the last month of December 2006, I send out the following “wishlist” and call in the energies to bring me the following, in no particular order of importance or chronology: –…

Advice for Taking Action on Your Dream
“Once you know what you want to do,” an advisor told me last spring, “make a list of at least 3 or 4 people who are already doing what you want to do and doing it successfully. Then emulate them. Take them to dinner and pick their brains. Hire them as coaches and consultants. Scrub …

High Impact Moments
“I have fantastic news,” I tell Lauren Hartford. “Your doctor’s plane just crashed in the jungles of Costa Rica, thieves have stolen his medical supplies, and he’s running for his life with just the clothes on his back and no hope of ever returning home!” Lauren’s response? “Squee!” For Lauren, who’s working on A Wedding…

Going with the Flow…of Energy
I’ve learned a huge lesson that you’d think would be a no-brainer, but not for me. I haven’t perfected it yet. Something tells me I’ll get the chance to try. I am learning to flow with whatever energy is prevalent. This idea struck me about two weeks ago when I…

Letting It Grow: A Lesson in Patience and Trust in the Universe
Wouldn’t it have been ridiculous if….? The house I live in now had a hot tub when we moved into it. Evidently, this house had been a real entertainment spot for the previous residents—a Colonel who entertained his lieutenants with back yard beer parties. We didn’t use the hot tub very much—it was later struck…

Accelerant
All my life, I have been around people who prayed devoutly for the things they wanted. I’ve also been around atheists and agnostics who have put tremendous thought and energy toward the things they wanted. In the past decade, I’ve been around numerous pagans, Wic cans, witches, etc, who have conducted magick with…

Two Tools for Dealing
A couple of things have really helped me over the past year or two. They’ve been excellent for not getting sucked into the usual situations.

Is the Gift of Knowing Returnable If I Saved the Receipt?
I love movies (books, too) that have time travel in them. for me, pretty much any movie with a time travel subplot will win out over the most award-winning film in theatres. I think it’s because I understand the complicated emotions that are usually overlooked in these movies. You know, like how the hero feels…

Blood Is Thicker Than Water But So Is Toothpaste
Someone tried to silence me yesterday. That’s how I knew I have one more frontier to explore in my healing, and I’ve been doing quite a bit of it in the past year but they only now discovered it. It’s the frontier (often times, deep dark woods!) of the families we are born…

I Just Wanna Cuddle, Snuggle, and Sleep
I’m running a fever tonight and suddenly feeling like I’ve been ambushed and it’s barely dark. I hate being sick. It’s like my body is betraying me. I feel useless and helpless and unproductive. If I want to lie in bed, then I want to do it because that’s where I want to be,…

Whose Word Do You Take?
Then the colleague asks if I know a mutual acquaintance in Georgia, though she already knows the answer. She is testing me, based on what she’s been told. She’s a little surprised, she tells me, when I answer so positively. She expected, based on what she’s heard over Thanksgiving, that I’d say something negative. My…

Calm Before the Storm
I’d thought that the Thanksgiving break was going to be about having the downtime to get some projects finished. Like editing the rest of Third Degree of Separation and getting it off to the printer. The cover is done, after all. It’s not that much work. Or maybe I’d get a good chunk of A…
