Holes for Rabbits

I’m not here to prove I’m an authority figure. On anything. I’m here to show you what I think, feel, and know - know for now. I’m here to share with you what I’ve learned. What works for me. Which is not guaranteed to work

Calling Out Elephants

It happens Every. Single. Time. Every camp. And this is my 8th camp! Once a day I go beet red. So that’s 5 times per camp. Like beeeeeeetttt red. And it lasts for 5 minutes. It’s the longest 5 minutes of my life because I know that it’

Tapping Into the Vibe of the Day

Just a quick thought on a busy morning; 9 out of my 10 posts have been written the morning they were published. I’ve tried writing the day before and at different times through out the day but the interruptions, responsibilities, and therefore lack of focus, make it tricky.  This

Lessons That Changed Me: Porcupine Man, Flowers and Power.

I may not keep this post up. Right now it feels right, and somehow important to share, but with topics like this, that can change. It may be that this post is simply meant for the pioneers in this group, the first ones, the believers :) I had a strong feeling

Setting Up for Slowness

Oh, this is a good topic for me today. I can feel the stirring rush beginning. We have our first student arriving for camp tonight, the rest arrive tomorrow and camp starts on Monday. As per usual, we are burning the candle at both ends to get everything ready. The

The Danger Zone of Sharing Goals

I’ve been told that after 90 days I will know the sound of my own voice. And what sound my audience enjoys from me. So, I’ve now made it my goal to post every day for 90 days. There. I’ve said it. I’ve heard conflicting opinions

Fav Forest Finds this Week

Today I thought I’d share some of my favorite pics from my outdoor wanders this week. The most interesting definitely being the “purple carrot” that I didn’t even know was alive until the tip of it moved. And notice how big it was! The way the spider brilliantly

The Superpower Behind Happiness and Joy

My 15 year old son, Alec, has bad seasonal allergies. He often doesn’t want to leave the house when they are this bad. But yesterday Henry had preschool, Ev and Bannon had a school meeting with their teacher and then I wanted to take the kids to Juniper Beach.

Where Do You Bloom Best?

This morning I’m thinking about one of the most valuable and important tools I’m developing through my exercise of writing daily, and that is discovering what conditions I work in best. In the spirit of that, I’ve created my list and maybe it will give you a

To Fight or Flow?

Well, I did it. It’s 5:15 am and I’m up writing. Neighbor Gary down the road still has his yard light on :) I’ll be honest though. I’ll probably go back to bed after. I’m looking out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of

Reach for the Honeysuckle

I occasionally set up my work station in the cozy Forest Studio in our woods for clients who come to me, but I had clients lined up in the big city the next day, so Ev and I hiked up the hill to pack up my stuff. After the task

What is the Spark?

For me it’s hard to describe, but boy do I know it when I feel it. Probably because it IS a feeling. I believe it’s a way of being and experiencing life too. I can describe what it feels like for me and I would honestly love to
