In late 1999, I was house-sitting for some friends in Tesuque, NM. (pronounced tess-OO-kee) It was bloody cold – maybe you don’t know this, but Santa Fe is 7000′ above sea level, and Tesuque is a bit higher. There was … 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
Someone asked on FB if she should have a website or a FB biz page for her art. Someone said to set up a print site as well (FAA) as her site or FB. This is what I answered: I … Continue reading
I heard this question from someone and thought it was brilliant: “What would you have to believe about yourself in order to feel successful?” For me, it first brought up the question of what success meant to me. I had … Continue reading

For 35 years, I spent untold time every day quietly contemplating ways to do myself in. Even if the thoughts were only in the back of my mind. Thankfully, I never had even a fraction of the courage/stupidity to do … Continue reading
If you have a job or are doing something right now where you spend most of your time hating what you do, this is for you. Be careful what you choose to do. Why? Because as you spend your life … Continue reading
Yesterday, I was given an astrology reading by a well-meaning, very dear-to-me, much-loving old friend. I’m think astrology is a good thing – even studied it for a bit – but I don’t normally go out of my way to … Continue reading

You’ve probably heard a lot of coaches talk about your money set points. Your money set points are those amounts that: • you never seem to earn more than • you always get down to a certain level before money … Continue reading
As you may know, I’ve been revving up my painting and carving for a few months now, as I simultaneously wind down to working with all but the bare-bones minimum coaching – occasional teleclasses, a couple of groups, and some … Continue reading
Think of the 2nd Chakra as a level of consciousness. Whereas the 1st Chakra is all about your environment (everything you can physically feel) and your tribe, the 2nd Chakra, right in the groin area, is more fluid; the energy … Continue reading
I made a comment on a post on facebook the other day to which someone took HUGE exception. She replied calling me names, making accusations, etc. What I know about accusation is this: it tells me more about what a … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading

This year, I’m having five images of my artwork printed for holiday cards. (The image you see at the left is one image I pre-ordered to see how it looks – it’s awesome!) It sounds early to think of that, … Continue reading
