Law of Attraction & Relationships: Love Stretches Across the Whole Wide Universe

Sometimes I remember someone from way back, or think of someone across the entire planet from me, and I marvel at the feeling I get. I feel love from and for this person stretching thousands of miles. Maybe my grandma, an old lover. Perhaps a good friend who’s been out of touch. Across time for […]

Soul Path: Wildee Time

I had one of the best palm readers in the country, Myrna Lou, come to my The Future is Bright; Let There Be Light party this last weekend. I wanted to mark the milestone of this bright shiny new chapter in my life: post-divorce and 39. Myrna Lou told me some awesome things, like that […]

Change My Life: Uh. Uh. Uh. Here's a Boundary. Watch Your Step!

Lately I feel like I’m having a lot of opportunities to set boundaries, to change my life. Perhaps it’s because I’ve nearing 40 and have realized that without clearly enforced boundaries, everyone on the planet will try to suck me dry. Perhaps it’s because I am reeximining what I am, and am not, willing to […]

The Divine Feminine Needs a Nap, Women are Overcommitted and Commitment Phobic

Recently, I tried to gather up a group of women who work in some way with the Divine Feminine. We were going to stage a workshop event. Everyone thought it was a fabulous idea. But, it wouldn’t get off the ground. We met once, but didn’t make a definitive plan. I should note that I […]

Autumn and the Happy Homemaker

When an Autumn chill is in the air, and the leaves start to turn I get a hankering to sew. I don’t know why, except there’s those stocking projects my mom had us work on in the fall, to be ready for Christmas. I have one of these stocking projects in the basement, unfinished. And […]

Procrastination: The Art of Getting Things Done

Procrastination has turned out to be one of my greatest gifts. You would not believe how much amazing stuff I get done because I — for some reason — do. not. want. to. finish. my. book. Why? I can’t even answer this question. Honestly, I can’t. Is it fear of success? It it fear of […]

Crazyass Authentic People Rock, Even If They Are Mormons

I have the pleasure of being related to some crazy people who rock. And some really normal people too. We grew up Mormon. Mormons started out all rebellious and revolutionary, with wildly awesome ideas about God and choice and equality of women and the Divine Feminine (God has a wife, yo) and illumination. Really, it was so out-of-the-box […]

Book Review: Bullied

BULLIED: What Every Parent, Teacher and Kid Needs to Know About Ending the Cycle of Fear  is written by Carrie Goldman. Goldman was prompted to write this book after her daughter, Katie, was teased for carrying a Star Wars lunch box to school. Her blog post on the matter has been called “the post that launched […]

Law of Attraction & Relationships: Co-Parent & Wasband

I call my ex-husband my co-parent and my wasband. Co-parent is the term I prefer over single mom or baby daddy. I’m a co-parent. He is my co-parent. I don’t like ex-husband. It has a negative connotation to it. It implies that we are in conflict and that really isn’t true anymore. We were in […]

Change My Life: Calling Me a Single Mom is Unfair to Single Moms

Now that I’m divorced I suppose I could be called a “single mom.” While I am single and I am a mom, I don’t really enjoy the title “single mom.” Mainly because it’s not fair to real single moms. By which I mean the women out there who have no co-parent. The mothers who are […]

Keep Your House Clean By Getting Chores Done (Without Working)

I’ve stumbled headfirst into Awesome. It’s a clean house. Not spotless like my OCD neighbors (you know who you are), but pretty orderly. My secret is chores. I hear parents say all the time that they can’t keep up with their kids’ messes. But, they don’t make these same children clean them. Why? “Because it’s […]
