As I pack to move to The Balch Hotel its a mixed blessing. The realization of a long-held vision. And its a big shift after living in Southern Oregon 20 years. An enormous reaching and releasing. Joy mixed with bursts of panic and streams of tears. A dream I didn't dare speak (Do you have any of those??) I want to share this precarious moment with you. This vision we've had--to own a historic, charming hotel we could have retreats at, in a natural setting but near urban population--could be anyone's dream. I've heard it from many. I know if

In recent months I've alluded to some changes coming in what I'm doing. They are here. And they are BIG. While I'll still be sharing The Magdalene Path book--to rejuvenate your weary overworked overwhelmed self by activating the beauty, wisdom and sensual aliveness of your Feminine Soul--my venue for doing it is changing BIG TIME. We are just finalizing details, but here's the latest: March 1 my husband and I will move north to the Columbia Gorge in Oregon, to own and operate the historic Balch Hotel. (You can see more about it here.) Its a momentous change since I've

Dear One ~ What messages did your mother give you about being a Woman? ~ What messages are you offering your daughter, or son, about being a Woman? ~ What legacy would you like to pass-on Today's Girls? I am sure that answers immediately spring from the depth of your being... My friend and colleague, DeAnna L'am, posed these questions to 28 luminary women leaders and invited them to inspire you with their answers! DeAnna has created one-of-a-kind experience for today's women. I am SO honored to be part of this amazing gathering of women (leaders you know and love)

I've been on a Guadalupe kick ever since I used this photo in a newsletter earlier in the month. (Its from a photo I took at a grave outside of Tupac, Arizona. I'm so taken with all the flowers and frivolity of it. Clearly devotional.) The image stayed with me. And my home is filled with Her. And I hear this from others--mostly non-Christians. I got curious. What's the story here?   Then a book jumped in my arms at the library, so I started researching. (I can take a hint!) And She drew me deeper. Her Story (Official Version) I

It’s that time of year, huh? Let's make it easier. I created something special for you, to celebrate the anniversary of releasing The Magdalene Path-Awaken the Power of Your Feminine Soul–one year ago! I want to blatantly ask you to support this book and the movement behind it. :) My friend Mary, after buying herself a copy,  liked what she read, gave her copy away, and so far has purchased 12 more books for gifts! Another friend just ordered 6! Planning ahead, they want to get something different, personal, encouraging, and impactful for family and close friends! How about giving

Last week was kind of a blur, with all the fal-der-al of Thanksgiving, and the onslaught of the holiday "shoppertunities." So in case you missed this, I wanted to send it one last time, before the doors close. Because I appreciate you: who you are and what you strive for. And for being here with me, reading and sharing your magical journey. So in case you were away last week, I didn't want you miss out on an idea I had, especially if this is NOT your holly-jolly favorite time of year AND you want to do something about that.

Shopping for Christmas, Solstice, Hanukkah or Birthday Gifts? It’s that time of year, huh? It’s a special time for me:the anniversary of releasing The Magdalene Path-Awaken the Power of Your Feminine Soul–one year ago! What a wild ride it has been.(More on that to come…) So I wanted to create something special for you, to celebrate with me (and blatantly ask you to support the success of this book and the movement behind it.) How about giving a gift of an autographed and personalized copy of a book written by someone you know? (hint, hint) After buying herself a copy,

I know it's a busy yummy time right now, whether you are trekking to see your family or spending it with your soul family, like I am. But before we head out for the holiday, I wanted to be sure to thank you for being in my world. I appreciate you: who you are and what you strive for. And for being here with me, reading and being part of this magical ride. So before we go offline for a bit, I didn't want you miss out on this, in case this is NOT your holly-jolly favorite time of year

Last week I was musing on Gratitude as the theme of the month of November. Its kind of sweet, this cultural shift. Then I realized its not such a great time for everybody. Not everyone is gathered with loving supportive friends and family, like The Waltons.  This inspired me to think of a way to support those of you who struggle at this time of year. Here's what I came up with: Do the holidays get you down? Or is it just so busy that it makes you CRAZY?  For many people this is a high, holy season full of
