On Being “In The Zone”
Monday we had our monthly Playdate in the Creative Dream Circle, this month we playdated with Daring… kind of as the next step in working with Courage, which was the theme for May. I was expecting daring to dare me to do better work or something like that. (Which, in hindsight, was obviously my inner… Continue Reading
Healing the hurt of not feeling supported in my dreams.
The Rainbow~licious Creative Healing Circle starts Friday. This morning, I started the day with my journal and markers, exploring what it is I want to get out of this experience. Of course with any healing journey you tend to get what you need more than what you want, but still, I like to go in… Continue Reading

Sometimes a wrong turn is the only way to find the right path
This week has been frustrating, all around. A special kind of frustration – the kind where you are doing exactly what you want to be doing and yet it feels off. This is the thing about creative dreaming – in creating your dream as a real live thing you have to do things you have… Continue Reading
You’re invited! A summer of rainbow~licious healing + art-making.
I’ve got a wall in the dream loft that is 20 feet high by 20 feet wide that is EMPTY. It’s a very big empty wall to have. It’s hard to share photos of the dream loft because the angles are weird in some places and there’s a wall to wall south window on both… Continue Reading
A visit from the “I Don’t Have Enough Time” monster
99% of the time, I don’t have enough time is a lie. You have enough time, and you chose how you’re using it. It only feels like it’s not a choice because you’re caught up in an un-helpful pattern, or you’ve got a sovereignty leak or you’re letting your inner critics run the show. So,… Continue Reading
I turn 39 today.
I woke up happy. I’m noticing that the older I get the less I care about my birthday. But at the same time it’s nice to mark one more trip around the sun and take stock of where I’m at. Birthdays used to feel HUGE. I had a lot of birthday rituals, including a… Continue Reading
Conversation With My Inner Critic: Not Believing In Yourself Is The Worst Feeling In The World
I wrote this on Monday, before sharing my new Creative Soul Alchemy Batter Tastings. I want to share it because I know a lot of people read my blog who want to be doing similar things to what I am doing, and I want to paint an honest picture of what it takes for me… Continue Reading
Batter Tasters Wanted.
I’ve whipped up this cupcake batter which I am sure is going to result in the Best Cupcakes Ever. But before I pop these babies in the oven, I’d love to have a few people taste the batter. I want to thank my friend Victoria for the idea of “Batter Tasting”. This is so much sweeter than… Continue Reading
Talking to a Creative Block
I’m happily working on my new thing and hit a speed bump. Nothing I write feels right. Some part of my brain wants to say that this project is too big, too complicated, there is too much to do so I am lost and don’t know where to start. Another part of my brain calls… Continue Reading
I’m working on a new thing.
This week I am equal parts excited/inspired/in the magic and terrified/doubtful/wanting to hide under a rock. When those 2 reactions are equal, I know I’m onto something really good. Excited!… Continue Reading
What Happens When You Let Courage In?
I’ve been having regular meetings with courage, in preparation for the Playdate with Courage on May 3. While I’m not expecting myself to feel courageous by May 3, I do need to be able to weave a field of healing and transformation for the group and hold that space as I invite Courage in. So I… Continue Reading
