Law of Attraction & Money: I Don't Have Any Money!!

Sound familiar? This is how many of my potential clients respond when we discuss my coaching services or taking better care of themselves or following their Soul’s purpose. One of my clients, Anna Koclanes, and I were discussing how we too once believed this lie. We totally believed it and repeatedly used phrases like “I […]

Living on Purpose to Save the World

*This is the speech I wrote for the Red Tent celebration I and Leslie Carol Botha, Holy Hormones, hosted on Sunday. Way before the commercialization of the period from Always & Tampax, way before our menstrual flow became “dirty” and shameful, women gathered in The Red Tent to celebrate the rites of womanhood. During her period, […]

Have a Happy Period

By Tracee Sioux I love my menstrual cycle. LOVE it. I love being on my period. Women are cyclic in nature. We’re made that way. We cycle with the moon and the seasons, we ebb and flow. We’re up and down and sometimes we’re even twirly. Bombarded by a million tampon, maxi-pad, Premerin and douche […]

Law of Attraction & Money: Mom-Centric Micro-Economy

Woe is me! What’s a mother to do in this world? With all of the economic disparity and the craptastic economy and the completely un-mom-friendly corporate culture that keeps us from our littles? Whether single or married, mothers are discriminated against and can’t seem to manage a work-life balance and score equality. This could destroy the family […]

Don't Wanna Brag, Or Jinx Myself

I don’t want to brag. Or jinx myself. But, I think maybe I’ve got this Summer WAHM thing worked out. I’ve been doing it for seven years, this whole working from home bit. And summers have always sort of knocked me for a loop. The distractions and the constant demands, mixed with the deadlines and […]

Kissing Andy Botwin, Marketing, Revirginization, Sci-Fi Nipples & Shampoo

  Last night Andy Botwin from Weeds was kissing me, while I was getting website advice from Christine Kane, my business coach, but I kinda dropped the call, because Andy is the best. kisser. ever. Then I had to go wash my hair in a communal camp shower, but I couldn’t find any shampoo, so […]

Law of Attraction & Relationships: 5 Rules of Conscious Mothering

I was honored to have been asked to speak at Whole Life Center for Spiritual Living about the subject of Conscious Motherhood on Mother’s Day, 2013. Rev. Cheri very flatteringly introduced me as the most powerful conscious mother she knows. *blush* & *bow* Below is a synopsis of my talk. (Please insert laughter where appropriate.) 5 […]

Fall Fashion from Milan

Fall Fashion from Milan Milan is Italy’s fashion capital, and it’s not difficult to see why. Every year renowned designers gather in this city to showcase their latest creations for the seasons to come. This is why fashion enthusiasts not just from Europe but all over the world flock to Milan in order to marvel […]

Viola, Matriarch

Surrounded by 91 laughing, mingling people I leaned into my grandmother, Viola Barksdale, at her 90th birthday party. Look at all the people you made!” I quipped. She beamed. I love getting to see everyone, but I most enjoy seeing how delighted everyone is to see each other.  In 1923 my grandmother, Viola Barksdale, was born smack […]

Father Time, You're Not the Boss of Me

The Fort Collins Museum has a Mask fundraiser annually and this year I attended the Masquerade Ball with my friend Anna. There were many beautiful masks but this one gave me pause. The opportunity to confront Father Time about his tricks and schemes doesn’t present itself everyday, so I faced him head on. Listen Father […]

Feminism: Oh Fine, I Still Love You.

Yesterday I wrote about how I might be breaking up with feminism for a great many legit reasons. There are plenty of things to be disappointed about with feminism as a movement. But, this seduced me back in: Brilliant women. Smart women. Creative women. Strong women. Worthy women. Gifted women. What’s not to love? Feminists […]
