Recently I’ve been creating a 1-2-3 systems webinar for teaching authors how to make their own audio books. Why audio books, you ask? Because although it’s easy to publish kindle books on amazon, you can get your audio books onto … Continue reading
I remember the very first time I ever saw anyone doing yoga. I was 21. My then-hubby bought a huge how-to book that had big in-your-face photos of the yoga guru posing in all these wild contortions. I was aghast! … Continue reading
When my parents built their beautiful self-designed house, they embedded a 4-tile Italian design of a growling dog, in lovely ceramic colors, into the wall next to the stairway. It wasn’t just a regular stairway – oh no, can’t have … Continue reading
When I first moved here to California, I went through a bit of culture shock. The air is grey, not yellow; people wear mostly dull browns, greys and blacks, not bright aloha shirts, sarongs and bright-colored clothing; friendly greetings in … Continue reading
I was very honored to be invited to be the featured guest of the Lone Star Dowsers monthly meeting last week (July 28, 2021)! First we went into dowsing, then EFT/tapping – pretty deeply. I’ve been using dowsing for 40 … Continue reading
For the last few days I have been a social cactus. I’ve been so irritable I felt like I could bite someone’s head off. Not sure why – seems like a lot of the tension from the last few years … Continue reading
WHAT DO YOU PUT UP WITH? Last weekend, I got a call from a man I hadn’t heard from in 20+ years. At first I was glad to hear from him. But then – He didn’t ask if it was … Continue reading
When I came back to Hawaii in 2002, it was a very scary time for me. I had almost no money, so I had to take a job. The only one I could find was pushing time share brochures into … Continue reading
Yesterday at the grocery store, I saw – well, heard – a woman berating her child for dropping and spilling something all over the floor.The horrible things she was yelling at this 5 or 6 year old were unbearable. She … Continue reading
If I gave you an expandable bag to carry, and added one ounce to it every day, within a couple years you’d be carrying around a 100+ pound bag. Certainly not with ease, but you’d be able to carry it. … Continue reading
Last weekend, I went down to the local art center where about 50 artists run a coop gallery so I could sign up for the Open Studios Art Tour. I was pleased to see some pretty good work there. And … Continue reading
092718- UPDATE: It’s been quite a process, settling in to my new abode. When I left Hawaii, I gave away, sold or threw away almost everything I had. I stashed a good bit in storage – mostly artwork – but … Continue reading
UPDATE: SEPT 10, 2018: Found a place! It’s not The Ideal Be-All-End-All, but that’s OK – it’s a place I can hunker down and start getting back in the mood of Making. It’s right near my old buddies, and is … Continue reading
When I moved back to Hawaii 15 years ago, there were no birds at all in my yard. Through planting desirable bushes and plants, putting out various birdseed, and creating a simple little bird-bath, I’ve very carefully built up a … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
A huge thank you to the many wonderful responses you sent about my tapping story about crunching my hand in a trap – (which is totally healed, by the way). I really appreciate it so much when you write! I … Continue reading
EASY for ME, but A HARD LESSON for HER Today as I helped my 81-year old neighbor set a trap for the canal rats, the corner of it got caught on something, and the trap slammed shut on my first … Continue reading
This is a comment from my friend Lyn StClair, in a beautiful post she wrote on Facebook. Thank you Lyn! I invite you to notice that she says ‘for’ rather than against – we used to say, ‘we protest against … Continue reading
The Women’s March! Wow, the Women’s March was so awesome! Had me in tears. 3 Million world wide. 70 countries – even including Antarctica! Over 700 marches. I could go on – but check these out (and this is San … Continue reading
How many years have you set great goals for the new year…and ended up not doing them – and then feeling bad about it? Ugh! Me too. And not only that, but on top of not doing what I said … Continue reading
Have you ever wanted to keep doing something you love, but it just seemed like something was in the way? I’ve felt like that. I couldn’t figure out what what to do. Finally, I made a very simple, very powerful … Continue reading
Do you ask for what you want … and get it? Last week I had a pretty big upset about something. It ran very deep, and made me feel like I wanted to just pop out of my skin and … Continue reading
I’m really pleased to bring you Dianne Collins, the amazing woman who wrote, Do You Quantum Think? New Thinking that Will Rock Your World. I think most of us can relate to what Dianne discusses re living your dream and … Continue reading
Have you ever had a long spell of feeling really great, and then, completely out of the blue, one day you wake up almost in panic, or extreme distress? That’s what happened to me last week, with a very deeply … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
Over the past few weeks, many of you have written me saying you feel stuck right now. Yes. It’s the change of seasons, and if you understand such things, it’s also Mercury retrograde. You’re not alone. Dealing with being stuck … Continue reading
If you think you have too little money and too much overwhelm, you’ll probably want to read this!! (If you don’t experience that, maybe someone you know might, and this could help them!) Lately, I’ve been meditating. A LOT. Because … Continue reading
I was interviewed by EFT Tap Fest’s Jondi Whitis last week, as to “Why You MUST Show Up.” We had a blast, talking about how critical it is right now in our human journey to speak our truths, to show … Continue reading
I have a question for you: once you have tapped through your downward spiraling, painful beliefs about yourself, what will you do next? Have you thought about that? When I first started tapping, my thoughts and my emotions were so … Continue reading
