Woman, Know Thyself.

Look inward and ask, Do I want to be the other half when I can be whole accompanied by another whole which makes for two strong circles of support? Do I need to argue the Yes baby, No baby, Maybe baby debate? If I don’t do what’s expected, will my family and friends still accept me? That’s a ...

Hey Baby, What’s Your Zodiac Sign?

I realize that we all have characteristics going beyond what it means to be born on a certain day. But when you add one’s place of birth, and time of birth, their true self is revealed, uncovering information that is specific.

Home Is a State of Soul (and Other Musings from the Window Seat).

Home is the strength in your softness, and the softness in your strength... Home is the voice inside you that gently whispers There, there when you have been bruised and burned and continue to choose love anyway. Home is every time you choose love anyway... Home is you high on you.

Which Whimsical Seuss-like Heart Do You Pick from Your Wardrobe?

I like to imagine I have a big wardrobe full of hearts. Some days I can choose one, almost whimsically, like a brightly colored scarf. Some days it is more complicated. I pretend these hearts are hung in a neat little row on pretty hangers, and tucked into drawers with sweetly scented sachets. ...

Love Matters, but Where Is It?

Love is the expansion of holding the pain, the chaos, and hopelessness. Love is limitless. But we are on the edge of our love frontier. It extends into infinity, but are we the warriors willing to risk it and go there? The other side is dark and deep, and there are miles to go before we sleep, ...
