Brand New Book!
Our series of annuals has grown with the release of A YEAR OF BLISS, Volume 3. It’s on sale now in eBook format at Amazon for Kindle, Barnes and Noble for Nook, Kobo for Kobo eReaders, and GooglePlay for android devices. The Apple iBooks version is being slow, but it should be live there any time. It’s only in eBook for now, but there will be print copies eventually. We had a heckuva time figuring out how we could refer to 2020 as a year of bliss, but I think we managed to ha

Year of the Ox
In yet another moment of putting last year behind us, we have just ended the Year of the Rat, and are now fully in the year of the Ox. You dirty rat... Even if you didn’t know last year was the Year of the Rat, you probably knew last year was one ratty-ass year. I mean, really, what do In Chinese lore the animals were in a race to reach the emperor. The first 12 to get to him would be in the royal guard or something, but it didn’t matter because it was a small honor compared

Should I leave?
5 Actionable Tips for Deciding
One of the most frequent questions I get from readers and clients is this one. Should I leave? Should I leave my unhappy marriage? Should I leave the job I hate? Should I move across the country and start over in a new place? When things are all but unbearably bad where were are, we want to get away from where we are. That’s perfectly normal. Ask the real question... The real question isn’t should I leave? The real question is, will things be

Power-up Appreciation
I’d been planning to hold off releasing it until Tuesday September 4th, because everybody knows a Tuesday release has the best chance of hitting a big list. And because that’s the first Tuesday the astrologers say is okay. And because all the experts agree that a monthlong or longer pre-order period will maximize velocity of sales during opening week. But then I grabbed hold of myself, recognizing that I was thinking in terms of making things happen rather than allowing them

Writers, Resolutions, and Bliss
But it also gave me a compelling need to write a sort of counterpoint to it. So this one’s for you, my sister scribes, especially my younger sister scribes. It doesn’t always have to be about doing more. Maybe it’s better to try basking more. All those resolutions I read in the piece were from writers, vowing to write more, to work more, to be online more, to market more, to advertise more, to work harder, to be better, to do more and more and more. I was exhausted by the tim

Dark Clouds, Silver Linings
When we’re happy and grateful and feeling great, that’s what’s emanating from our pores. It’s filling our aura, creating the energy field around us, and we become a beacon of that, and a magnet for that. We beam out the signal and pull in everything that matches our frequency. And then something happens and we get knocked down. We feel bad, and sad, and weepy, and that’s what we emanate. We’ve changed our channel, turned our dial. Now we pull in everything that matches that n

Winter Solstice Series, Part 3: How to Tune In
In Part One of this series, we discussed why and how the cycles of nature are also happening in us, and are therefore important to us. In Part Two we discussed what, exactly, is going on during this darkest season of the year, culminating in the shortest day and longest night. We discussed how it’s a time of reflection, deep pondering, quiet, processing, rest, and planning. Now we get on to practical matters. How, at this busiest time of all times, do we manage to embrace the

How To Achieve PEACE
This morning, as I sipped my coffee and scanned my Facebook newsfeed, three messages about peace came to me, one after the other. That happens from time to time with one topic or another. I always take it as a nudge from the universe, telling me “This is important. Pay attention. This is today’s theme.” So today’s theme is peace. And each of the messages I received encouraged us to find peace, be at peace, live peacefully. But none of them mentioned how. In today’s world our

It’s All in How you Focus (Magical Living Post 3)
Life is exactly like this picture, if you multiplied it by infinity. Everything that happens to you can be looked at from a million million different perspectives, the ends of the spectrum being, “Nothing ever goes right for me!” and “I am constantly being guided by my Source to move in the direction of what I truly desire. So I am absolutely sure this happened for a reason.” That is nothing more than a shift in the way you choose to look at the situation. Every challe
