I Didn’t Get It Until … Just Now!
I spent nine years in the creative hot zone of writing, editing, tearing apart and rebuilding, then writing and editing some more my just released book, The Ovarian Chronicles. And last week during a conversation with my writing group about releasing our books into the world, I had an epiphany thanks to one of my […]
Popularity? The Imposter Syndrome, Authenticity and Self Love
Lately, I’ve had conversations with clients and friends about comparing their social media numbers to others in their field, and even to their friends and family. When their posts don’t get likes or shares, they don’t feel popular. When they speak their truth in a post, they feel like the odd one out if people […]
Sand Dollar Wholeness
A walk on the beach today during a beautiful sunset low tide once again revealed parts of mySelf to me. “Wholeness is not something to achieve and then you are done,” whispered the roaring wind into my consciousness. I have been feeling a little less than whole and ungrounded the last few months. I moved […]
Your Heroine’s Journey!
If the classic Hero’s Journey is prompted by an external world call for change, the Heroine’s Journey is prompted by: 1. Feelings of “is this all there is?” 2. “I always really wanted to …” and 3. “This isn’t what I thought it would be like …” The Heroine’s Journey for today’s woman is about […]
A Funny Thing Happens On The Way To Goals!
I met my target date of Monday, October 1 to hand over my book manuscript to my editor!!!! Wheeeee! Happy Dance!!! I spent the weekend before that target date in the writing (or in this case, rewriting) nest and completed my goal. When done, I experienced everything from feeling a little deflated and flat to […]
Stop Pretending You Don’t Know
“Oh, my god! Mom, I think I just saw a whale! Yes! I see the tail! Oh my god! There’s the spray again!” I leapt off my cozy sofa to stand in front of the giant window in my living room, my eyes widened to see as much of the ocean in front of me […]
The Winter Solstice 2018
The Winter Solstice is the longest, darkest night of the year in the northern hemisphere, yet this darkness rebirths the light. In the land of The Modern Goddess, i.e. my LA circle of goddesses, we pause at the Winter Solstice to acknowledge the gamut of our year: successes, breakthroughs, medal worthy stands of Unmasking as […]
Two Holiday Survival Tips That Matter!
If you are anything like me, you have more than 100 unread emails full of business advice, learning opportunities, and cyber deals of the day. And, like me, you may feel compelled to complete a 2017 goal come hell or high water. You may also feel guilty about what you didn’t start or complete in […]
When You Think You Know Best!
One of my first blog posts on being in the grips of the Chief Operating Officer of Control mask was about the time I tried to tell a man in the film business, in his 50’s, the correct way to purchase our movie tickets. After my third interruption of his interaction at the ticketing window, […]
Self-Love Permission
Recently, I found myself on the brink of self-frustration. I was blaming the weather, lack of time and anything else I could think of for the fact that I wasn’t doing that thing called moving my body (exercise!). The trap door opened on self-derision. So I sat myself down, took three deep breaths then focused […]
