So, last year, I was invited to a big fun happy Thanksgiving dinner, with family and friends. This year I am going over to make dinner for my mom, with a friend. There will be just 3 of us. Tiny and trueblue.   Thanksgiving. In my lifetime, I have had Thanksgivings alone. Thanksgivings that seemed...

Whew. Wowza. Last week’s book launch was seriously and no kidding the total highlight of my career, my life. What do you do when a dream you have been dreaming, slowly roasting, basting, tending, turning, and nurturing for 20 years, leaps to life and comes true in more glorious, fabulous, heart-opening ways than you could...

Paris. Mali. Syria. Beirut. Russian plane in Sinai. Like you, I have been continually heartbroken, shocked, and overwhelmed by the horrific acts of terrorism in the past few weeks. And noticing, inside myself, that when I begin to feel overwhelmed and helpless, a part of me wants to shut down, to hide. To turn away....

Darling, Gratitude is Water. A lazy river, a lake, a pool, inside, that never empties. Any moment I remember, she rises, ready for me to dip my cup. Dipping my cup replenishes hers. Friday is my day at the barn. I gotta hit the 9am Hampton Jitney, or all is lost. It was raining Friday...

Darlings, So, next week, my daughter Maggie leaves for camp. It’s a big deal, leaving for camp.  She and I won’t be together for 7 weeks, except for one visiting day. And guess when her departure is? Yup. You guessed it. It is the morning of the Graduation of Mastery 2013. I have to be...

Darling, I have a little gang of close man-friends. Each of these guys is a rare and wonderful pearl of a man, prince of a man, king amongst kings, in his own unique way. I love my man-tribe, for many reasons. Not the least of which is that, when I am between lovers, like now,...

Darling, So grateful. So moved. So overwhelmed. Still floating in the ecstatic brew of the fragrant spell of Mastery. I am deeply grateful for the 250 exquisite women who have come together for this incredible 9-month journey. Amazing. Beautiful. These women are filled with deafening passion, just waiting to erupt in bold new forms. Voices...

Sister, This holiday season has kicked up a festival of emotions inside me. I am so grateful to be sharing Christmas with my mom, her fiancé and his family, and my daughter. I am also feeling a little somber, a bit sad, and a floating sense of loss this Christmas, being so aware of the...
