Radvent 2012 2: Self-worth

“My value is greater than my body.” ~ Princess Lasertron On the heels of Artful Giving weekend, where I was praying people would like and purchase my new Maraviglia pendants, Princess Lasertron posted a Radvent about Self-worth. This post is flashing me back to last year’s Radvent on Style and Wrapping. And like last year, my […]

Radvent 2012 1: Knowledge

“In general I think it’s a mistake to be really, really sure about anything because the only thing you can know for sure is that things change. However, just because things change doesn’t mean you can’t live according to a set of beliefs. Even without knowing things for sure, holding on to our own truth […]

Contentment

“There is no feeling better than realizing you are living the life you want to live.” ~ Maike’s Marvels It’s not Thanksgiving yet, but I am filled with gratitude every day. The beauty of blogging is that it provides a chronicle of one’s life, and looking back through the pages I realize how full and […]

Envy

“You can’t hide from Life. Life is here for you to live to the fullest. Take your courage in your hands and move out into Life. Ask for what you want. Believe that you deserve it, and then allow Life to give it to you. Be sure that you’re willing to receive. Life can’t give […]

Rejection

“… if you’re applying to the People Who Officially Curate And Publish Things they have many, many, many, many submissions to wade through and they can’t always fall in love with your stuff.  It has to be good enough, it has to fill a niche or a need they have, they have to have a spot […]

Empathizing with Margaret Fountaine

“I suppose some day I may be rather a distinguished person in the entomological world, and though perhaps the distinction may not be the greatest I could have aspired to, every rung on the ladder of fame will have been pleasant, without one arduous or difficult step.” ~ Margaret Fountaine Over the past month I […]

Finding hearts along the way

“Love is the highest vibration on earth.” ~ Sonia Choquette, Your Heart’s Desire I like to find hearts on my meanderings around town. “In a way, every beat of our heart is a mini wish that circulates and communicates the nature of our own subtle energy and our heartfelt intentions” ~Paul Pearsall, Wishing Well Sometimes […]

200 blog posts, a retrospective

This is my 200th blog post. Amazing, isn’t it? Since it is my birthday week I am particularly reflective. When I started this blog in September 2010 I had no idea where my life was going. I had just returned from a remarkable conference (and a terrifying flight there) and knew I wanted my life […]

researching and creating

In keeping with my lepidopterist/entomologist month I am immersing myself in the life of Margaret Fountaine. She was one fascinating and gutsy lady (the kind of company I like to keep). I am reading her (edited) diary and a biography about her simultaneously; each fills in blanks the other doesn’t, so it’s a cool exercise. […]

Other People’s Words

Today I will link you to the words of my friends who have fabulous insights that resonate with me. LifeUnity offers a great perspective that is a breather from the six-figure lifestyle hype we hear all the time.  “I feel successful because I began with awareness, not with expectation. I am aware of my own […]
