Holy Day
Today was a holy day for me and my girlies. You won’t find this day marked on any calendar that I know of – except for the calendars of a group of my Shaman Girlfriends. Once a month, we get together for lunch at my house. As Dr. D says, “These Thursdays are like a...
Scrumptious Sick Day
tid-bit/tid bit/A quick, tasty nugget of practical Shaman Girl wisdom for living real, raw & juicy. Take a bite, Share a bit. Come back for more. “Mimi, this is such a great day. There’s been no hurrying at all!” Shaman Boy says as he cuddled in closer to me....
I am.
Do you ever wake up from a dream that feels vitally important, but you just can’t quite remember it? You lay there for a few moments doing your best to conjure it back up, but all you can grasp are a few fragments. You try to puzzle together the pieces, knowing they...
Let Go. Dive In.
Cold dark water takes my breath away. I’m clutching the deck of a boat, grasping on, afraid to push off and let go. What lurks in the water? I don’t know and my mind can certainly invent some sea monsters. I scrunch my eyes closed and push off, feeling my breath...

Love When The Kids Are Fighting
Tidbit.... How's this for a new perspective? Love every moment, every stage, every phase of life - even, for example, when the kids are fighting. (I know, all YOUR children practice loving kindness in every moment.) Huh? How? Why? Well, when the kids are fighting and...
The Angel of Death
The Angel of Death has been hovering near today - near my dear friend and student Martita Vindiola. What a gift it has been to feel Marta so strongly, so close by when for the past few years we have only been in touch sporadically. Today, I received a call saying that...
Cheerleading Camp
Once a month I open the doors of our home to my Shaman Girl friends who are healers and teachers. In streams a few yoga teachers, a handful massage therapists, various life coaches, artists, some authors, and a shaman or two. Some of us can articulate what we offer...
Whew
In the blender. Roto-tilled. In a freefall. That’s how I’ve been feeling the past few weeks, Shaman Girls. Deep stirring. Lots of questions about who I am, what I want to do, and how I relate to my loved ones. Which means there has been self-doubt, anger, tears, and...
The Wounded Truth
Embrace the truth of who you are. You are love and light. Endless possibilities abound. Shine! For years, I’ve heard – and spouted off – these truths. Lately? I just ain’t feeling them, Shaman Girls. Right now they sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher saying...
