How I Learn to Let Go and Love the Holidays

This holiday season I’m being prompted to do more with less. I find I have no interest in spending a lot of money on gifts, nor have I bought into the ‘crazy busy’ intensity of Christmases past. It’s been this way ever since my daughter Teal died in 2012. The only thing that really matters […]

How I am Learning to Become Independent

I wrote this in late 2012, about four months after my daughter’s death: I have come to a startling conclusion lately: I am living my absolute perfect life, right here and right now. Unlikely, right? After all, I am alone out here now in California. And my old paradigm of what I needed to be […]

What Odysseus Taught Me About Going With the Flow

Something we often forget to do …

How easy it is to assume it’s all up to us — and yet, it’s not. Whether you believe in angels, God, spiritual entities, friends in the afterlife or goddesses and deities … you are not alone. One way or another, the Universe has your back, now and forever. You just have to surrender enough […]

How to Stop Doing So Much & Start Receiving More

My beloved yoga teacher, Kashi, has presented me with a challenge. “Stop striving,” she suggested. “Go for only 70%, instead of 100%. It’s part of letting go.” OK, I get it. I can’t strive for one more minute if I want my business to magically unfold from Spirit. But the doing only 70% … Hey! […]

What Sarasvati Wants You to Know

Have you ever heard a really good song — one that filled your soul and lit you up, so you truly felt better for hearing it? Or read a book that was so rich you couldn’t keep from sharing it with your friends? Perhaps you saw a movie that changed you in some way … making you feel […]
