Homeschooling and Unschooling for Beginners

Parenting is hard! As parents there are so many choices that can alter the lives of these small humans who rely on us to get their needs met. What do we feed them? How do we talk to them?...

If a world is in constant search for the One Right Way, power may become corrupt, and individual lives meaningless to those who control the resources. The One Right Way may become the ultimate goal, leaving behind the importance of nurturing, love, healthy communities & healthy ecosystems.

Homeschooling and Unschooling for Beginners

Parenting is hard! As parents there are so many choices that can alter the lives of these small humans who rely on us to get their needs met. What do we feed them? How do we talk to them? What type of play is appropriate? Do we work or stay home? What parenting style works best for our values as well as our children’s temperament(s)? How do we get them to do what we want?...

Why I Boycott Starbucks

Recently a friend jested on Facebook that he would be tagging myself and my husband every time he passed by a Starbucks; that it would be funny. What was funny is that the jest was a product of my husband hissing at a Starbucks coffee as it went by in our friend’s hand the previous week. Yes, my husband and I hiss in Starbucks’ general direction. In a moment of pride,...

A Look at Freedom

Inside each one of us is a desire for freedom. Yet, for most, there is a lack of understanding of what that yearning even translates into.

Happy Holidays: A Look at Gift-Givin...

I’m still unclear if it is appropriate to say “Merry Christmas” anymore, or if I should choose the generic-yet-thoughtful “Happy Holidays” as I move about the world.

As long as we continue to maintain a society that values money over life and being right over being happy, smoking will be attractive to our subconscious.

Karaoke Funeral

Now, please don’t think I am heartless. A guy died. That is sad. He was apparently very loved and adored – was a KJ himself, and the bar was full of the people who’s lives he had touched in his work. He was only 37. I am sorry for the loss in his community. But I wanted my Karaoke Night, dammit! I wanted fun, and laughter, and connection, and screaming over loud music!

I loved so many things about the show. I loved that Macklemore took the time to talk to us, tell us stories, and do his crowd magic. I loved the balance between mixing it up and keeping it real. I loved the encore!

Using Force – My Karate Advent...

What has been most interesting for me to look at have been my own stories around using my body forcefully, and what is appropriate for “girls” to do. I still have the thought that “I don’t wanna hurt anybody!” So while my body is getting a work-out, and there have been some days of very sore muscles, it is also a spiritual practice; an opportunity to look at any old stories that may be holding me back from stepping into my true power.

Imagining Better

There is an inner knowing that all is well, I am right where I should be, and that good and more good is already mine. Now, don’t get me wrong – I love my life. I have great relationships with my family and friends, a great community I consider myself an important part of, and lots of talents and skills that do will continue to serve me and my planet well. I do, however, know that there is always more good to experience. That since the Universe is infinite, then so can my experience of it and its good be.
