That creative spark of boldness! Join my free class this week…
Hello lovey, Happy Monday…
Let’s talk…Why do I always recommend that you journal? Why do I love journaling so much?
I’ve been writing almost daily for the past 20 years plus, at least a couple of times a week. There has been times when I let up on that morning practice and I could feel a difference in my brain and in my body. I missed it. It missed me!
Sometimes I journal nonsense, sometimes I journal a to-do list, sometimes I vent and rage, sometimes I love and am full of gratitude! ( For sure, different than a gratitude journaling practice, I can talk about that later!)
Often I write new ideas and inspirations or write about a thought that has shown up. Perhaps it’s my dreams from the night before. Frequently it is poetic text as that is when I write my best poetry. And I might use prompts to get me going and flowing, that is the best way I have found to allow the creative spark of boldness. (See, now that is a great line that just flowed out of me!)
What I’m doing is emptying out my brain, connecting with my feelings, emotions, and senses. Releasing anything negative, or old baggage, or just clearing space. I like to breathe and check in with my body. I don’t edit or spell check and I love the rambling and rolling of the words as I allow them to flow through me without stopping, or lifting the pen off the page. And yes, I love using a real paper journal and fun pens and markers of different colors. I have made collages sometimes and glued things or painted on the pages, but mostly it is the words I connect the most with.
When I give this sacred time to myself, it is a way of honoring me, who I am as a creative visionary. My soul archetype is that of a Visionary. And that helps me be the best leader, teacher, coach, and creative! As a Visionary, I am one who inspires others to take action. I LOVE helping others move forward.
Opening myself up to receive anything new, the new ideas and downloads I get when I do connect with my higher self or my guides. This allows growth, expansion, and transformation. I crave continuing on with life and living and all that it has to offer me, and all that I have to offer life. And this helps me in my work as a coach, dancer, artist, teacher.
I love to incorporate my daily movement into this practice, including meditation, breathwork, yoga, dance, running. It all makes me feel connected, whole, healthy, clear, grateful, and ready for the day, or the week, or whatever is coming up. Feeling into the body, and listening to my heart and soul, comes out through journaling, envisioning, and even into the sometimes chaos of emotions. It all brings connection and clarity.
And that is why I love journaling. It’s important for my physical self, my emotional self, my spiritual self, my growth and daily well-being.
And that is why I use different types of journaling practices with my dance students in our certification courses, why I have my coaching clients develop new daily habits for their clarity and growth toward their transformations too.
And that is why I teach weekly classes in journaling, using prompts, sacred space, and timed writings to dig in, without overthinking 🙂 With all levels of writers, and journalers, who are wanting different things with their writing, perhaps to write more poetry, or work on a book, or develop that daily practice of clarity and well-being, and for the joy of expression. An exploration and a journey… with tears and laughter and listening and sharing… these classes turn into profound timing for oneself, again, giving oneself that time where you shut the door, turn off the phone, and show up, participating in your life and your joy and your creativity.
Sooooo, my friend, YOU are invited to join my free class this Thursday, Sept. 15,

A Free Journaling Class and some more Roadtrip Views!
Hello gorgeous!
Happy Monday ( and Labor Day if you celebrate it)
I’m coming to you from a hotel room, on the road again, driving across country to get home. It’s super early in the morning, I’ve had my run with my dog, worked out at the gym, did my tapping ( yes, one of my new daily practices is EFT ( Emotional Freedom Technique!), got my coffee, and now spending time with you before we hit the road again..
This drive home will take us about a week, lots of long days of driving and experiencing new towns along the way. We are driving on Route 66, and let’s see about getting some kicks!
Have a listen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nuDE1SJlPo
Sung by Nat King Cole Trio
Yes, I’ll be hitting many of those towns along the way… and am anxious to be home after being on the road for 2 ½ months. It’s been fabulous, trying, energizing and exhausting. Full of curiosity, new things and places, old friends, family, and mostly, caretaking for my mom. I am no angel but it was so good to be able to be there for her, help her, redecorate her home, take care of all the things.
It was a time to let go of all my desires, my own time was not mine. A lesson in what older folks go through, losing mobility, some memory, their own loss of self- care and doing things on their own.
But I was able to meditate, daydream, soul-search, on the changes I have been wanting to make. For myself, my businesses, my body, life, etc. It was time I wanted to take to NOT work but to have more fun with my writing, my teachings, my social media presence. I did not want to lose complete connection with you all, but wanted to step back a bit. So you got some of my travel adventures, some of my life-shorts/poetry, ramblings, photos.
So I have some juicy stuff coming up for you for this fall, like this!
I’ll be hosting another FREE journaling class on Thursday September 15th at 9 am!Journaling From the Body to the PageOn Zoom
So Mark your Calendars!
You will need to pre-register for this please and thank you!
So what is this journaling class all about? I’ll be giving you a taste of what we do weekly in my ongoing journaling class, and starting another one with a new day and time.
This is NOT a write your book type of class!
But more of a write your heart out class,
a feel your body class, an exploration class. We use some fun sensory prompts, with quick responses, or journeys into storytelling, or personal questions and growth, and manifesting dreams and desires.
Register now!If you are wanting to start, or restart your writing practice, explore and release some words and ideas, feel your juiciness and let your words flow, while we also share and listen to our magical circle, this is for you!
Try out my FREE class, and you may want to join in weekly and get your magic flowing…Thursday Sept 15 at 9am
(And the new class will begin Tuesday, Sept. 20th, 9-10 am, for six weeks, on Zoom!)
and yes, I still have my super magically fabulous class on Tuesdays at 3 pm, that has been going for almost one year now… you can always join in at the time if it works better for you…
~~~~
OK, time to hit the road today…
Ad get my kicks on Route 66!
See you later…
Register now for my free class, I can’t wait to spend some time writing with you! It will be magical and fun, I promise!
Love ya!
“ If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way
Take the highway that’s the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Now you go through St. Louis
Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty
You’ll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don’t forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino
Won’t you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66”

Weekly Musings – Dancers in the Sky
Happy Magic Monday, my friend!
Today I am sharing two totally different life shorts I wrote this past week. I am on a writing binge, still on my road trip, spending time with my journal daily, my sanctity, my saving grace, my daily companion…
Where I am this week I watch the geese fly daily overhead, always beautiful in formation, always awesome to watch, and reminding me of some of my dance formation inspirations from past years…
Dancers in the Sky
The geese fly in formation
Inverting, changing leads,
Orbiting around each other
Reshaping back into assemblance
The language, they zaghareet out loud
As if to give direction on the course
Trusting, in tune, aligned
With the family
Held together by an invisible strand
Often a straggler drifts off, to the side
Or behind, flying solo to test her wings
Her fortitude
Her vision
The others don’t leave her
Supporting, encouraging, from a distance
For her to shape her strength, spread her wings
Into creative flight
Always welcomed back in
As she dips and weaves
Returning into the flying formation
Of collaborative flight
~~~~~~~~
and another one I wrote while caretaking for my mother,
The Unselfish Hand
Giving over my time
Sometimes so impatiently
Stopping in my creative tracks
Reminding myself to return to love
The unselfish hand needs to take over
Hard visions to watch
The clock ticks, slowing down
Bent over, undulating with the time left
Shuffling slowly, tick, tock
The unselfish hand stoops to support
The once vibrant and colorful bloom
Starts to shrink and wither as it dries
In the bouquet of likely candidates
For being displayed together
In different phases of bloom
The unselfish hand holds the bouquet together
Tight-fisted
As the petals fall
One by one…
~~~~~

Roadtrip Views, Blues, A mess of Possibilities, and it’s Rockin’ friday!
August 26th
Hello gorgeous! Happy Friday to you, and what’s shakin in your world this week?
I’m on a short 5 day road trip and am totally enjoying exploring Grand Rapids, MI! Doing something different… oh yes, that is what is rocking my world… I wrote about that a few back – DSD – and I just love that idea. Infuse that into your daily life and see what happens!
Tiki Madness!
My man, Jeff, and I have visited the coolest tiki bar here, I mean over the top full of art and sculptures and all things tiki. Max’s South Seas Hideaway…Absolutely awesome, and super fun. Good cocktails and good veggie dining options, always important …
Next we visited an over the top gorgeous sculpture and botanical garden (Frederik Meijer’s) and listened to the volunteer docent as she led us on a 45 minute art cruise through the park. Fascinating and informative and highly recommended. All of it so much artful eye candy in under 24 hours!
Then we went to a throwback bowling alley and played a few games (new obsession!) and today we are heading to the beach on Lake Michigan! So yay to doing something different! And Jeff loves to try the local IPA beers…
Before we take off today, we just had a fabulous vegan breakfast sandwich at Little Bird downtown, another highly recommended place for any meal…wow…I do love to go out to dine and love trying new dishes ( vegan) and places, that’s one reason I love to travel so much. Travel to eat!
~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure to check out this week’s super fun Heart and Hustle interview too, with the fabulous Erin Meadows! Click here

Heart and Hustle with guest biz coach, Erin Meadows #149
Hello my friend! I am so happy to bring you another episode of Heart and Hustle, to bring you another magical woman who is helping create change for not only herself, but for her clients too. All to make this world a better and more joyful, more abundant place to live in.
Erin Meadows is such a delight to talk with and to know. Full of life, curiosity, passion, and has great skill as a coach. She shares how she grew through dating bad boys to being in a corporate job and how she had to listen to her heart and soul to create changes in her job and career. We chat about our journey through our ages and how change is good, how we change values and desires as we grow older!
Good conversation here for you.
Asking for guidance is always a good move on your way to create change for yourself, my friend. That’s what Erin did on her path and in her career path, and how she went from employee to entrepreneur–big changes!
Have a look and listen and share your takeaways from our conversation!
More about Erin!
Erin Meadows is a Certified Professional Business & Life Coach who helps overwhelmed and under-booked entrepreneurs build their businesses without burning out, spinning out and stressing out.
With over 20 years of business strategy and marketing experience – including building two, six figure businesses of her own – Erin knows there are two ways to build, launch and grow a business:
The hard way – where you are grinding, spinning out, stressing out and burning out … and the balanced way – where you build your dream business while living a balanced and blissful life.
Erin has done it both ways, and she highly recommends taking the path of balance and bliss whenever you can.
Erin knows what it is like to feel unclear about the steps to take in your business.
She knows the challenge of feeling confident when are you aren’t signing clients.
She knows how hard it is to stay motivated and consistent when you just feel confused and defeated.
She knows all the sh*tty thoughts that pop into an entrepreneur’s mind along the journey.
And, she knows what it is like to spin out – thinking one more class, one more book, one more free template … then I’ll be ready.
In other words, Erin’s been there. She knows the path to the other side. And, she is ready to help you get where you want to go.

Weekly Musings and then some!
Happy mid week, my friend… how is your week going?
I’m still in Ohio on this extended roadtrip, on my way to Grand Rapids MI today to visit another Tiki bar and do some bowling! Yes, bowling. ( Did you see my pink bowling shoes I got me for my birthday?!)
Having been on the road since the end of June, somewhat unplugged, I’m kicking back into more writing which has been fantastic. And teaching my weekly journaling class is outstanding. I love to share some of their words, as well as mine, with you…
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sherry Lynn wrote this last week in class, writing off of the prompts:
I am mother nature incarnate, here to walk the earth, working with humanity against the forces of destruction, rebuilding our connections with the natural world. I shall embody and inspire wonderment and save our earth as a mystical, magical woman in full force of my power.
I believe in the liminal realm that holds the secrets of the universe and within it, the elixir of life found within the web of creation.
I believe in the warm hearts of humanity and those who stand with courage to do what’s right. I will always stand with them.
I love this embodied life I am living, tuned in to the heartbeat of oneness, feeling the breath of passion moving through the symphony of life.
What’s not working for me is the idea that the earth is not a sentient being and the amount of destruction humanity has left in it’s wake. I will stand for it no longer and even as I embody grace and life, I will fight to protect all that is precious.
I know what I want… and that is to encourage people to embrace nature in a new way, the only way… that of living in communion with the earth. I want life to thrive, in all it’s forms.
It’s a gift to be in this body of flesh and bone, so connected with nature that the plants and trees greet me and animals feel my heart. Not to mention, the amazing free-flowing embodiment and joy of movement and dance.
My wardrobe consists of my beautiful naked form, ensconced in snippets of moss and scents of herbs and spice.
I like being unpredictable and unusual… dancing with the wind, hair flowing, feet kissing the ground, moving to wolf song and the beat of my soul.
I like how this embodiment is unfolding, as a beautiful gift of awareness and experiences that feed my soul. Embracing the sensual and sexual, standing true in my power.
I love who is surrounding me… people of true hearts and courage. Those whose hearts melt for the hummingbirds dance, yet sill stand strong in courage when the need arises.
My abundance comes not with money, but through relationships and connections.
I love to figure it out as I go… following all that I know to the very depths of my soul, Gaia’s soul, ancient wisdom leading the way.
I know I am a powerful creator, creating change in a world on a course to destruction, saving humanity by instilling new, yet ancient connections with each other and the natural world. There is no greater force than a woman on a mission.
I hold the heartbeat of nature within me. It is me. Every life form upon this earth is precious. As I close my eyes, I sense the energies from the tiniest grains of sands to the swish of the majestic vessels of whales within the seas. I grasp each moment as gifts of change. Walking gracefully, my heart calls out to all, starstruck and downtrodden, seed, plant and the wildest beast.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strong and inspired! What say you?
We write with assorted prompts every week for an hour together, sharing in the magic of each other’s words and in our safe circle of creative time, exploring hearts and souls, characters and journeys, and delight in the process. You are invited to join our weekly circle if you are wanting to dive into your journaling practice too! Click here… Love to have you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It still feels so crazy in the world right now, doesn’t it? I’m feeling especially called to serve you.
If you, or someone you know, is especially stressed about a lack of self-connection in your mid-life, because of the chaos, the weird new normals, or all the things, then I would be happy to offer you, or them, a free From Chaos to Creativity, consulting call, to help see what is next for you.
You are not alone, my friend. I have worked with thousands of women around the globe to help them create the life of their dreams and desires, and I’m more passionate than ever about serving you to help you rebuild a life that you, too, are passionate about, with more clarity, more abundance, more creative flow.
Send me a private message, or click here, if you could use a little extra support during this time.
We’re going to get to the other side of this… because we’re stronger together!
Always continuing to build a stronger community, either one by one, or with group gatherings, I believe in dancing with your desires! I share tools and insights, healing methods, deep dives, explorations, with guidance so you can shine your light!
Let me know how I can best assist you, my friend!

A little poetic rambling from me to you on my 65th birthday!
A little poetic rambling from me to you on my 65th birthday!
65 years of living and loving all of it…
thank you for being a part of it…
I am stepping deeper into my values and actions of love and compassion for this next year…for myself, my work, my continuing studies, my dance and body wellness, my passions!
~~~~~~~~
The sky cracks open
With thunderous drumming
To awaken the soul, even the fearful
To continue the journey
But the beauty is astounding
Makes me feel the connection more deeply
But also the sadness of the others
Who have no soul, no empathy, no compassion
Bound up by privilege and habit
the unloving ways of this world
So unwild, so tame, to set in old ways of nonsense
Can we create a new now?
Where all pay attention and participate and
Step into their own skins
And soul values
Because listening deep becomes
One’s truth with beautiful conscious awareness of what can be now
Not how it was
Not games of magnitude and torture
But connection with healing oneself, first
Then spreading that love with creativity and compassion from the chaos
And love, desire, and joy
With tenderness and fierceness
As the mama lion
The night ends and the day begins
The heart and soul open up
And the mystery unfolds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You, my friend, have a fabulous week ahead. Make it intentional, meaningful and magical! Celebrate yourself too…Is it time for you to move into a better place, a better state of abundance and joy? It’s free, love, a 30 minute call with me. Let’s schedule me on your calendar and talk about what you are wanting.
And we can talk about what will work for you, and if you want to spend the next 3 months with me, one-on-one coaching, and help you step into your desires! I would be delighted to be of service to you, to possibly work together in the future as your coach, and help you step into your creative abundance.

Moving from chaos into creativity!
As a creative, I know there are so many different stages of expressing oneself!
One of those stages is being in chaos, internal brain overload and overwhelm! Have you been there?
Most of the time, being in chaos doesn’t feel good, right? Usually when I go into overwhelm, there are too many things on my plate and I can’t focus on anything. Or I don’t know which to do first, or what I can eliminate to help. That’s when I sit down on the floor and cry!
Then of course, I find ways to get out of that state of confusion. Self-care is of the utmost importance, especially at times of disarray and lack of some sort of order.
Stepping away from the situation helps to get a look at what is really going on.
But sometimes, being in a state of chaos leads to profound creativity! It is part of the creative process, and one wants to honor that time too. Not just hurry to get out of it.
Think of that swirl of ideas wafting through your brain, and your body. Inspiration striking like lightning. Going through the storm, or being in the eye of a tornado. Letting chaos run its course for your creations and embracing the process.
And then being able to capture the plethora of new ideas and visions and then hone it down into physical manifestation. This is when you move into your creative zone of genius, if you allow all of that to unfold for yourself.
But we often get caught up in the confusion, and just go around and around in circles. And don’t know how to honor it, and then move through it, and come out with more clarity and energy. I say allow yourself to be there, and notice what is happening. Get out your journal and take notes. Use sticky notes and plaster them on your wall. Draw some images. Write down your words. Make a grocery list. What is your process? Don’t think you will remember later, because I know whenever I say that, I never remember those great ideas! Then the ideas move on to someone else… ( have you read Big Magic?)
And…you can edit them later…just do it.
And a great way to get that inner focus and clarity is honoring your daily practice of self-care…
what I call Your Morning Clarity Ritual–
and I use a 3 part series: Meditate, Percolate and Dance Break. Some of you may already have read about this in my book or taken classes from me where we work on this practice.
So here is a gift for you if you don’t have this, a PDF of this practice for you! Just click and get your copy!
So , my friend, sometimes you just want to honor that chaos! And then move through it…
Now, if you are needing some support to help you get out of that place of unease, then I just might be your gal, your guide, your coach. It could be time for you to do some coaching with me to get you on the path of healing, gaining clarity, connecting with yourself, your body, and your heart, and get the tools to create the change you are desiring. So you can take action.
Is it time for you to move into a better place, a better state of abundance and joy? Let’s schedule me on your calendar and talk about what you are wanting.
It’s free, love, a 30 minute call with me.
And we can talk about what will work for you, and if you want to spend the next 3 months with me, one-on-one coaching, and help you step into your desires! I would be delighted to be of service to you, to possibly work together in the future as your coach, and help you step into your creative abundance.
