July: What’s up in My World

I’m back from Japan! I’m still getting used to the time change and being in this strange place. It’s strange, to be back, because the America I know isn’t really “back.” I can’t give my family hugs… Things aren’t quite as I’ve left it.

My memoir, Freedom Year: How Trying to be a Dominatrix (and Failing) Changed my Life is almost to the end. I plan to release it on August 8th, my 33rd birthday. You’ll get an email when it is available for you to read!

Tarot: Creating What You Want, The Magician

Here’s this month’s Tarot interpretation, from my upcoming book on the Tarot.

This message covers where we are at this month as we move into August, and possibly also the next few months! My readings tend to build on each other so you may also want to refer to the message from last month 2 of Wands.

First, take a moment to pause and breathe. Are you open to insight? Set your intention to feel how you want to feel in your life overall (you can be specific) and then decide (if you like)...

Creative Process: Follow the Butterflies

If it makes you nervous because it seems so big, that’s a sign. Follow the butterflies. They show you where you need to go to make your mark on the world!!

If you are overwhelmed make your goal smaller. Aim for a short time period of trying, or approach the first step as practice. Come on, you can do it!!

I’ve done this every day as I write a new Urban Fantasy novel, Dark Legacies, Book 1 of the Blood Witch Series. It’s nearing completion and now I have the big important scenes. There ...

Make Your Mark: You have to be Seen

This is for you if you are an entrepreneur with a launch schedule, a writer with a book coming out, and so on. This is for you if you have to be seen.

There’s a lot going on in the world. An entrepreneur today told me that it’s hard to know what to post or not post. Is it still okay to be promoting her course? She knows it is, heck her family needs her to make that money and she has people to help and talents to share. But still there is a voice in her head asking, is she being sensitive ...

Honoring the Dead

In total humility and respect, I want to spend some time to focus on those who have died from police brutality. It will not bring them back. It will not be enough to truly honor them, which is why it is only a humble offering to their spirit and memory. They should still be here.

Rayshard Brooks, I am so sorry. You should have been here longer.

As I began writing this post and during the sleepless hours while I continued to contemplate it here in Japan, I wondered what I could do. What...

Creative Process: Clear Resistance around Goals

Sometimes you have a goal, but you feel two ways about it.

You want to do it, but you also feel overwhelmed or unmotivated to do it every time you think about it.

This free process will help you get out of that weird feeling place so you can get the focus and grounding to work on it. This is awesome if you have a daunting task that seems big or hard! I recommend using this process when you want to make progress on these sort of goal...

Tarot: Momentum Keeps Moving You Forward, Two of Wands

Last month, I received an email that my Tarot readings were missed! So I thought I would include one this month, like old times. This message covers where we are at this month as we move into July (and possibly the whole rest of the year!).

First, take a moment to pause and breathe. Are you open to insight? Set your intention to feel how you want to feel in your life overall (you can be specific) and then decide to be open to any positive shifts that may occur as you read the writing belo...

Philosophy: When I’m Not Getting Enough Done

It can be really hard to make ANY progress at a time like this. It might seem like since you can’t do a lot of things you are used to, that you have all this free time. And surely with free time you will be really productive. But NO! Actually this is all super weird and it’s normal to be UNproductive and just need to put your head in the sand, barely able to drag yourself to the shower (Heh. Have I said too much?) Achieving anything is herculean and extraordinary.

Creative Progress: Get Your #1 Most Important Thing Done

Collage by Sofia Wren inspired by images from Pinterest

What should you be doing right NOW?

There are so many things to do. What is first?

I believe in perfect timing: there is a way to maximize this moment so that everything else feels better and easier.

For example, I followed this technique and found the perfect time to call my bank. I’ve tried several times over the past month and had to hang up because I was waiting too long, but I really wanted to reduce my business loan int...
