Today’s hug is for all the times you couldn’t figure out what the hell you were supposed to be changing or growing next. It’s so easy to forget sometimes that there are other kinds of growth than the ones approved of by society. If you have your own business, or want your own business, or [...]
There’s something I’d like to tell you – something I don’t often talk about, but now seem to have blazoned on the front page of my site: I want to change the world. I don’t talk about it often because it triggers all sorts of stuck – like the “Who do you think you are?” [...]
I feel as though something needs to radically change in my life. I think something needs to radically change in my approach to life. Because I am sick and freaking tired of running around in circles, constantly coming back to this feeling. I’m not doing the things that make me happy. And yet I’m not [...]
The past 24 hours have been kind of nuts. Just one of those days where everything happens at once and new things come up and you need to re-evaluate because where you thought you were going has disappeared and you need to formulate a new plan. Cool. I’m down with the doing things – I [...]

Part of this week’s exercises in the Artist’s Way (I’m on week 9, by the way) is to go back and read my morning pages. At first, I was appalled. Also a little nervous, a little scared. Really? I thought. You really want me to go back and read those awful, horrible scratchings and scrawlings? [...]
I feel like my life is un-stitching itself, coming apart at the seams. I know that I asked for this, that I asked for change and healing and new life, but seriously? Seriously. This is ridiculous. My life is rearranging itself around me. It’s like the whole damn thing just picked itself up and threw [...]
It’s not that 2008 was necessarily a bad year. More like it was a hard year. A year where I noticed that my life was not what I wanted it to be at all, and as a result, went through lots and lots of growing pains. And I mean lots. And loudly. With lots of [...]
