as spaceholders, healers, and leaders, we’ve got a library of stories worth cringing, crying, or laughing over, don’t we? on our best days, we make it look easy. if you and I were sharing stories by firelight under a sea of stars, I might share a couple of my initiation…

there is power and fruitfulness in the most 'simple' spiritual practices. in this article, we'll start with your personal altar and close with...a helpful hippopotamus to make you smile, that also illustrates a fundamental truth about how energy flows. the altar altars are deeply personal, creative, and marvelous – yours…

'childlike joy' as a gentle antidote for weariness: if you've been 'adulting' too much lately (meetings, bills, commitments, challenges, burdens, sorrows, burnout, social media doomscrolling, compassion fatigue, overgiving, you name it)... my helping spirits invite you to turn towards cultivating 'childlike joy' as a gentle (and sweet) antidote for whatever…

  the divine feline: cat lovers don’t need it explained. there is something in us, deep in our hearts, that reveres, cherishes, and delights in cats! some of us have felt it all our lives – a strong need to serve, rescue, help or support cats.  some feel a simple,…
