Hey, Luv-Nut! Valentine’s Day has got me thinking about the deeper meaning or REAL love — as well as what an ADDICT I am! That’s why I’m doing something RADICAL (at least to me!) for the entire month of February. Because 2 weeks ago I opened up my journal — and looked down at 2 (rather shocking) pages — […]

Hey there, Cutie-Patootie! Let’s do a virtual snuggle-party today, and grab a warm cup o’ tea — while I tell you a very silly (but Soul-healing) story . . . So, one day a woman was walking by, and spotted her neighbor, Lizzy, looking anxious and forlorn on the porch of her beautiful 2 story […]

So, I decided to scrap my idea for today’s newsletter, and hold it until next week. That’s because I got some DEEP, MEANINGFUL and TOUCHING email responses to last week’s post about death, and how we can use it to really LIVE. So I want to clarify a few VERY important points. Because without these […]

Howdy-Ho, Fellow Unstoppable One! So . . .

And while there are endless amazing […]

Yesterday I am caffeinating myself for the day ahead at a local Starbucks — after having driven for 10 hours the day before from Portland to Sacramento, the city where I was born. I walk to the bathroom before heading out to the old Gold Rush historical area, when I hear a man to my […]

Let me explain: At 9:30am this morning I walk into the Seattle Aquarium (the only aquarium I’ve ever visited — since it is a conservation-based aquarium, not a dolphin and orka circus… yuck!). I sit down to watch the fish-feeding exhibit from the enormous main tank… and I start to cry — from how beautiful […]

I’m sitting in the middle of the Seattle train station… crying… on my way to Canada — the first day of my month-long solo-travels throughout the northwest… Tears flow as I watch hundreds of beautiful people pouring from a nearby train. Every shape and color and size and age… A girl wearing a cat mask. […]

Howdy-Ho, LuvBug! Today, I felt called to tell you a personal story — as I know there are SO many of you who are only INCHES away from outright miracles. Solutions. Abundance. Or love. (But sadly, we so often quit right before reaching the finish line!) Which is why I want to tell you about a recent vacation […]
