The Magical Self
Magic is when your spells for the small but important things work: locating your keys, growing flowers, finding lovers. You will smile because inconveniences are less pesky and chance encounters become the very thing your heart desired. Also Magical If you're not into...
Is Writer’s Block a Thing?
I have a little company called Earth and Soul Coaching and Publishing, which helps women write and publish their books. I also guide women who want to use writing for spiritual insight and intuitive guidance. It adds a physiological touch to personal and spiritual...
Resisting resistance
Where do you go for advice? Experts, teachers, guides, ancestors, doctors, "studies show"? The school of hard knocks, a trainer, coach, yogini, talkative massage dude, the inbox? Whose opinion do you trust? Three out of five dentists surveyed, statistics, Hannity,...

Full August Moon
“I’m never going to be a Witch,” a friend wrote me after my first post. That’s groovy. She already has powerful magic. Writers are supposed to have an “ideal audience” and she’s definitely part of mine. She’s a seeker, giver, gentle and fierce; someone who has tried...
