A Reminder to Revisit your Guiding Word

  I’m choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I’m making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises. ― Elizabeth Gilbert Hey, Lovelies. I work with my Journeymaker’s Planner over the year to help me, learn, grow and evolve. One of the tools I use is a Guiding Word. […]

Making A Portable Altar

  There is a part of me that will forever want to be walking under autumn leaves, carrying a briefcase containing the works of Shakespeare and Yeats and a portable chess set. I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman […]

If You Are Feeling Flat Or Exhausted Right Now, Read This

  It’s funny: I always imagined when I was a kid that adults had some kind of inner toolbox full of shiny tools: the saw of discernment, the hammer of wisdom, the sandpaper of patience. But then when I grew up I found that life handed you these rusty bent old tools – friendships, prayer, […]

All I want for Christmas is…

  I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. ― Jorge Luis Borges   You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me. ― C.S. Lewis Hey, Lovelies, Christmas is almost here. Our office will be closed from Friday December 23 and we will […]

Are You Still Waiting For Someone Else To Meet Your Needs?

  With every act of self-care your authentic self gets stronger, and the critical, fearful mind gets weaker. Every act of self-care is a powerful declaration: I am on my side, I am on my side, each day I am more and more on my own side. Susan Weiss Berry Hey, Lovelies. It’s so easy […]
