Magical Mystical Goddess Voyage Day Twenty-four: Be Open, Curious, and Willing
Sometimes I think I know a lot. I blame my dad. Dad: Hey, do you know about widgets? Me: No, I don’t. I don’t actually care about widgets. Dad: Well, you should! (and launches a long diatribe about widgets) Two things going on here: 1. The S-Word — Should. In this case, “you should” is code for I want to connect with you but don’t know how. I know about widgets and in my head I think that we could connect over widgets if you knew about them too. You knowing...

Where does your inner compass point? We all have an inner compass — a barometer that helps guide us to becoming better people. We are wired to grow, learn, and evolve. Some of us dive more deeply into the process than others, or we wear our process on the outside instead of the inside, but anyone who has stopped growing, learning, and evolving is dead. Even into the death process itself we are still learning, still evolving. After death we continue to change: our bodies decompose at the very...

I bought my first house when I was 24. In those days, young adults still thought it was possible to one-up their parents — we knew that every generation got better, and with bigger toys. We were supposed to have whatever our parents had, and sooner. If your parents owned a house — and I didn’t know anyone who didn’t — then you were supposed to own one too.

Are you plugged in, turned on, tapped out? Consider this: So there’s this (semi-hypothetical) Facebook friend. Yesterday for him was a full business-as-usual Monday flurry of how’s-your-lifes, status updates about his cat and his coffee and his Thai lunch, comments to others, cute pics, and LOLs. At the end of the day he makes a big announcement. I suck at this being-on-vacation thing. I’ll do better tomorrow. And consider this: Yesterday’s Alternet article titled...

In case you have forgotten, the world needs you. Not just any part of you, although any part of you is generally pretty awesome. But what the world especially needs is your passion. Your flame. The thing that lights you up. The world needs the unique song that is you and the things that make you shine. Yesterday I auditioned for a small select woman’s choir in Seattle. Let me back up. I love to sing. In high school I switched from flute to choir for a total win. Flute was okay and I was...
Read MoreMagical Mystical Goddess Voyage Day Nineteen: Laugh Your A** Off
When was the last time you laughed? Really laughed, a big, roll-on-the-floor, hold-nothing-back laugh? According to LaughterYoga.com, adults laugh only a couple of dozen times a day. If that. Children spontaneously laugh more than 400 times a day. Adults use their brains to decide what is funny and then laugh accordingly. But laughter has many beneficial effects on the brain and body. It feels good to laugh. It is healing to laugh. And yet most of us don’t laugh much. A Wild...
