Do you have a block connecting the dots between desired feelings and actions? A common one is people who want to lose weight but won’t change their eating or exercising habits, but there are so many more. Using desired results as a writing prompt helps tap you into your own deep wisdom.

Eclipses can be disruptive and/or cleansing depending on your mindset. I like to harness their energy to see how I'm getting in my own way.

Here’s how my financial advisor helped me navigate questions such as, “How are you affording that?” so I can foster connection rather than getting defensive and pushing everyone away.

Writing to a prompt like this helps you see what’s there inside you that you aren’t even aware of. Creating awareness allows you to then cultivate intention, but the first step in awareness. That’s where free writing and a juicy prompt can take you.

Most of us spend our days zoomed in. We look around and feel trapped. I got tired of this trapped feeling, so I made a calendar that gives a sense of time. A peaceful pause. The eagle's view. Working with a Moon Calendar eases a lot of anxiety for me with its constant presence reminding me that everything's shifting, other influences are at play, tomorrow will be different, everything changes.

Mercury was the messenger of the gods. He's got messages for us, and we're really good at ignoring them. So, what happens? We get waylaid. Generally you may feel like you're fighting the natural flow. Communication is challenging. Mercury tries many ways to get our attention.

Some days it’s hard to bring your best self to the world. Regret and shame can sneak up and overwhelm your very being. It’s okay to not fight. Lean on your personal support systems and routines to ride out the bumps. Do what you can now to stay in the present.

I feel frustration *and also* I feel the gifts. I literally see how things will be different tomorrow. The Moon reminds me that everything shifts. Tiny steps make way for larger shifts in the long run. Don't get hung up on making big leaps if it's not happening… take a step wherever the flow comes.

Where have you been hiding in plain sight? Here I grapple with sending a newsletter in favor of the social media algorithm’s folly. Don’t let fear hold you in her strangled grip.

How do you set goals? Often your mind sets them for you. There may be obvious ego at play about how you want to look or be seen. Can you question below those surface ideals? What’s the longing lurking beneath? What would serve on a deeper level? In this post I discuss goals and how to pick metrics for tracking things that don’t involve stepping on a scale or some other obvious check in.

Trying new things builds character and is as important a muscle to work as the physical body.

Even sweet moments can open portals to past memories. I own my stories, even when they cause me pain, because they awaken a sense of gratitude for what my life looks and feels like now.
