I wonder why people feel so free to be outright a-holes, mean sons of bunches, and screaming ranting judgmental karens out to intentionally destroy some innocent person’s reality. I’m thinking about the comments we all make online — on Medium, Substack and other article sites, social media — from Facebook to X to instagram and […]

BE KIND. NO MATTER WHAT.
We learn to hide the pain. We feel unacceptable. We learn to present happy faces, calm demeanors, soft voices — where what we really feel like doing is screaming until our throats rip apart. Be kind. That’s what comes to mind when I see people getting down on folks who write about being depressed and […]
IT’S NOT MY FAULT!
This is dedicated to any frustrated artist… I attended an intense marketing workshop today. It made me cry. It put me right smack dab up against the years of deep conditioning I have fought my entire life. I absolutely loved everything about it. Here’s why: I grew up in the 50s, where it was, “little […]
I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE ALWAYS
When my kids were little, they were friends with a pair of brothers whose mother was insanely over-protective. She used to drive me nuts. I can still hear her shrill shriek, “Don’t climb that wall, you’ll fall off! If you go up that tree, I’m not going to take you to the hospital when you […]
“Maybe It’s Not Meant to Be….”
I may be an opinionated old thing, but to me, the phrase, “Maybe it’s not meant to be….” is pure BS. “Maybe it’s not meant to be….” smacks of the mindset of someone who is convinced there is some higher power controlling them, and if they stray onto some path not “right for them,” it […]
Do You Speak UP?
“How Do You Speak Up Fearlessly?” I’ve been speaking up a lot on Facebook about the recent situation in Indiana where war has pretty much been declared on gay people. They are trying to instigate a new law there saying that it’s OK for businesses to discriminate against and not serve gay people. I received […]
DO Something!
Lately I’ve been cruising Facebook a bunch. Probably too much. I get hooked by the posts on what’s happening out there in the world. Many of them are really upsetting to me – reports of heinous things people do to each other, and what we, human kind – or rather, humans-not-so-kind – are doing to […]
How to Soften & Connect with the Divine w
It’s time to soften. From what I see in the media, we’re about to lose the health of our entire planet. It’s time for the love of power and the warrior mindset in the power-seeking greed-saturated armed forces, police forces and government, to end. I’m not sure where the rough, cruel, brutal and barbaric mentality […]
I Just Want to Be Me
I created this little Artist’s Bitch and Moan and Happy Ending Ebook just to have fun. If you’ve ever wondered about ‘having’ to exercise, ‘having’ to ‘eat right’ or ‘having’ to market or go to a J.O.B. (just over broke) – you’ll enjoy this little poke at our society’s rules. Go HERE and scroll down […]
It’s Not About the Guns!
I’m hearing people say, “stop allowing people to have access to guns.” But I wonder…. President Obama ended his speech today with this: “Heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds.” Is there any deeper call to action to those of us with such powerful tools as EFT, EMDR, NLP, etc., that are so […]
Have You Been Asked, “Why Are You Not Pla
Ponder this: How many times have you seen an email or video or website that tells you you ‘need to play bigger,’ or have a bigger business? I’ve said it myself. But it’s getting old. What if I don’t want to ‘play bigger’? I believe that you and I should be able to live the […]
RANT: The Time is NOW.
In 1988, multiple countries and an unlikely combination of organizations combined efforts to rescue 3 California Grey Whales were trapped in ice, with only one small air hole, five miles from the open sea. Without more breathing holes, they would die. Native Inupiat Tribal members worked with Greenpeace, the Oil Companies, the National Guard, and […]
You Have Some Nerve!
I got a note yesterday from a woman who was enraged about…and refused to come to…my Raise Your Fees Fearlessly teleclass. How could I “possibly tell people to raise their fees when so many people are having so much trouble even paying their rent, some even starving?” She demanded, “Why aren’t you telling people how […]
Split Attention
Yesterday I saw a video online in which a teenager was coming out, announcing to his mom that he was gay. As the video starts you can see he’s really nervous. The mom walks in, and she asks what’s up – and he won’t say! He keeps putting her off, and she keeps trying to […]
