Today, on my morning hike I saw 4 DEER. In. The. Desert. Since I’ve been out here, I’ve seen coyotes, snakes, scorpions, lizards (many tailless and tortured by my baby dragons cats), cottontail bunnies, jackrabbits, bobcats, bighorn sheep, roadrunners, chippies, squirrels…but never, ever a deer.* So why the big deal? Um, well, deer medicine is crazy sacred. And it’s some…

I put myself through the damn wringer this week. It’s actually been awhile since I’ve been wrung. Which is great news (!!!)…but it made the wringer that much wringier. You see, I forgot (temporarily) that I’m a cosmic force. Eh, it happens to the best of us. I was invited to design a workshop experience for beautiful, bold desert adventurers…

In my last post, we explored that ever exhausting and confounding mystery of “Why can’t I do the thing that I really want to do??

You hung in there like that kitten on the motivational poster in your elementary school nurse’s…

Surprises are fun when they’re bouquets of stargazer lilies or artisanal herbacious chocolates that my husband says taste like soap (yum)! Surprises are *possibly* less fun when it’s me telling you that your power may not come from where you think it comes from. But let’s give it a whirl! I believe lightness comes in many forms. Several years back…

Don’t you just love the feeling of getting shit done? Mmmm, that luscious feeling of accomplishment when you cross another thing off your to-do list, or complete a project…doesn’t it just make you want to DO MORE and more and more? So here’s the thing though (you knew it was comin’) — you can’t fix/cure/heal everything by DO-ing. I’d like…

Something totally unexpected happened to me on the way home from my Tuesday evening barre sculpt yoga class. (Yes, even in the desert one desires a firmly toned behind). So right after class, a few sweaty, achey-butted gals were talking about the day-after-inauguration Women’s March and my yoga instructor was all “Marches where? Why?” Huh. We gave the basics (ie…
