In the movie “A Christmas Story”, Ralphie the main character and narrator is sitting in the bathroom with soap in his mouth for dropping an F-bomb. He’s there gagging on the bar of soap and his mother comes in. She takes the soap out and orders him to bed. He grumbles as he’s walking away […]

My Aunt Lorene made the best biscuits on the entire planet. It pains me no end that I will never have those biscuits again because no matter how she tried to train me I could never make them exactly the way she did. She threw flour, Crisco, salt, and milk or water into a bowl […]

Can You Own the Love?

Shadow work, which is my primary focus, is not only looking at the rejected parts of you labeled as “negative”. It’s not just about loving your inner bitch or your petty childish thoughts. The harder challenge may be to own your beauty, how much you are loved by others and how much the world needs […]

Growing up in Texas it’s easy to take flowers for granted. They’re just there, literally all over the place most of the year. I spent an enormous amount of time studying those flowers, being aware of their comings and goings, colors, scent, all of it. First Lady Claudia “Lady Bird” Johnson, bless her, made sure […]

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. Viktor E. Frankl As our beloved country finds itself more and more divided, I’m struck by how much more important it is that we […]

You practice mindfulness, begin to meditate then your world explodes. You don’t understand why doing something supposedly good for you feels like shit and assume those peaceful looking people are actually on prescription drugs. Xanax anyone? You start yoga only the teacher can’t explain why you’re on the mat crying or raging because he went […]

The Alchemy of Sorrow

I think it is safe to say that I have never experienced any kind of real grief, rage or sorrow over anything political. Until now. Much has been written by those more adept than I about the cultural and personal impact of realizing that our country willingly chose to elect a madman whose parallels to […]

Something has been bothering me, which is nothing new really lots of things bother me that I like to complain about. Lately though as I dive further into the WoW (World of Wombs) I keep finding myself feeling out of place and once again, nothing new, I often feel out of step with those around […]

The Moon is Calling: Stop, Drop and Listen

The issue is not right or wrong. It’s not God vs Goddess: The Smack Down. Talking about Patriarchy isn’t cursing all men who are injured by the current structure as it is also. Talking about Matriarchy doesn’t mean we get to deny that we’ve had a part in all this messiness. The cursing is necessary […]

How We Talk About Power Matters

As I’m moving into discussions around body weight and power, growing older as a woman and power, seeing life through the lens of victim hood, etc. I find myself bumping up against the concepts and words “masculine/feminine”. I find I’m doing more explaining than I enjoy repeatedly clarifying that speaking of masculine and feminine power […]
