For one week, I am going to step into an exercise of grace. I feel encouraged to take a full, 7-day week examining thoughts, as well as the words I let leave my mouth. Thoughts have power, and I want to make sure mine are in accordance to the higher law that I seek, so… Continue reading Grace Exercise: Mind Creates Matter. What do I want to matter?
When trying to be cute and unexpected ends up with you calling your boyfriend “daughter.” Yep. (See picture to the right). I thought “chorri” meant bird in Nepali, his native tongue. Bird is what we call each other. Sometimes bug. Sometimes tree. Whatever flies out of our mouths. But, daughter? That’s not in my league of… Continue reading The Time I called my Boyfriend “Daughter”
When I see people near me—people that I know and love and work with—take progressive risk towards making their dreams full, their product or lives richer and focused and real (especially when they are in my field of interest…), it lights a furious fire in me! This fire is deeper than envy. Hotter than jealousy.… Continue reading Fire, Fire! (Power, Passion, Queen)
To my writers out there, I’ll share a technique I used the other day, when I was raging with anger and irritation: if you are angry, guide that anger (which is a wildly powerful energy) into your hands, and then into your computer, where you let your story merge with reality. Punch out the words. Yell… Continue reading Vicious Moods & The Writing (w. esoteric/metaphysical bent)
Life is a series of stories, and when I hear an old humdrum script, I can’t help but want to yell out:: write a better narrative. Please. For the love of yourself. With details you LIKE. Characters you ADMIRE. Heavenly serendipities & experiences you can’t wait to remember. For the love of yourself, imagine your… Continue reading Life Narratives: Invite Some Sun
As a writer, you decide what’s real, what’s phantom. As a human, you decide this, too. Write your story so that, by the end of it, all of its living matter has left you. Be empty of it, so it may breathe and grow and birth many stories of its own. There are no mistakes, really.… Continue reading General thoughts, staring out a cafe window.
In the face of a new opportunity, where I am feeling scared, nervous, and particularly challenged, but also incredibly hopeful, I opened my money diary that I started keeping when I hired Jaime Kalman Chipko as a business coach last January. I did this hoping for a direct answer (from myself, a reminder, a comfort)… Continue reading Growth Spurts, Saying “YES,” Letting Go.
My sense of well-being is more important than meeting the demands of my ego. Everything I do, am, and invite into my life creates an overflow of peace. While my schedule might be tight right now, I understand that I have all the necessary energy, time, and motivation to be present for each task. My… Continue reading Affirmations for Transforming Notions of Overwhelm
Tip to bridge gap between where you are and where you want to be: sit with the energy of the future-you that you wish to cultivate. You with the published book. You with the speaking gigs. You flying across the country for book tours. Maybe your goals are smaller in scale. You with the relaxed… Continue reading You are Here, And Here, And Here
There is always a way. When one door appears to close, open your eyes. See clearly what is before you; there are several entrances. Choose one. Walk through.
