Reprise: Mercury’s Gone Retrograde and the Moon is on the Wane, Again
August 30, 2010
While Mercury is retrograde, currently from August 21–September 13, things can get a little weird. We go along, business as usual, but life seems to be playing tricks on us.

Coming Home to Love
February 14, 2010
Thoughts on Love… Love is letting go of all we’ve been so we can be all we are. And in so being, become a beacon to others who are ready to let Love lead them home to all they are. The truth written in the stars Lives within the heart. As above, so below. As [...]

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas [...]
Keep The Channel Open

Martha Graham offered this brilliant advice–these famous words–when, according to Agnes de Mille: “I was bewildered and worried that my entire scale of values was untrustworthy. … I confessed that I had a burning desire to be excellent, but no faith that I could be. Martha said to me, very quietly, There is a vitality, [...]
