Easy Insight to Any Problem
“A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience” — Oliver Wendell Holmes Everybody’s got one. The problem that’s been following you around all week. You know the answer is inside of you, if you could just get to it — Crack open your subconscious, scoop out the solution, and move forward. But the more you think about the problem, the more confused you become. Sometimes you give up and hope it’ll go away (even though it always comes back eventually). And sometimes it swirls and swirls around your head, like a hamster running on a meaningless wheel. To solve this problem, you can either wait for an “A-Ha” moment,…

Permission to Wander
A Personal Story When I was in high school, my friends and I used to pile into the car on Friday nights and deliberately try to get lost. We would simply choose a freeway, drive until we didn’t recognize any of the street names, and then get off at a random exit. Then we’d either drive around some dark small town telling ghost stories or try to figure out why people were always moving their sofas in the middle of the night. (I swear we saw somebody moving furniture at least once a month) Eventually we’d stop at a well-lit greasy spoon for a midnight snack and ask around for…

No More Worries, NOW
“Fear is not of the present but only of past and future which does not exist” –A Course in Miracles Lost In Thought Have you ever laid down in bed only to find yourself concerned about the mistakes you made that day; instead of drifting off to sleep? Or perhaps, found yourself distracted by thoughts or plans for tomorrow; instead of focusing on the task at hand? Usually we just accept these worries as part of modern society, blaming the fast paced life of jobs, kids, chores, and hobbies (if you’re lucky enough to have free time that is). But there is a simple exercise that takes only a few…

Small Steps to Success
Whenever we are learning something new, many of us have a tendency to get frustrated and disappointed if we don’t get perfect execution within the first few attempts. Not only that, sometimes we don’t give ourselves the chance to celebrate our own small successes because we’re too busy looking toward mastery of that next difficult trick. We try to jump across the river before checking if the current is too swift or if the river bank is too wide. Approach with Curiosity But what if we took a minute to enjoy the beauty of the river, respect and learn about its surroundings, and consider that we could build a way…

Embracing Feminine Power
Penis Envy, Pshaw! This week has been a series of lessons about learning to respond to life as a woman, instead of a woman trying to keep up with the men in her life. After over 25 years in the “corporate” world, I’ve finally discovered that I don’t have to prove to my boss that my… ahem… member…. is bigger than his. I always thought that the only way to communicate with the difficult men in my life was to speak to them from their own level. I spent many years perfecting my ability to erase my femininity at work and replace it with a masculine facade that would give…

Somedays The Dragon Wins
Somedays the dragon wins…. but today is just not that day. I refuse to let a little setback like my 9-5 job get in the way of my dreams. Instead, I’ll keep learning, keep searching, keep discovering, everything that keeps my passion for authentic feminine movement alive. Today I rediscovered my forgotten love of writing, and decided to combine my two passions into a weekly blog. No Matter Where You Go, There You Are –True Author Unknown A good friend of mine once told me that “No matter where you go, there you are.” And damn if I don’t think she’s right. The only person that will make your dreams…
