Spiritual Practice: Vulnerability and Encouragement
Do you ever have days when you feel a bit tender or fragile? Like if someone poked you too hard you might cry? I have those occasionally, and they usually have to do with insecurity about my writing. “Why do I bother,” “no one reads my books,” etc… It’s human to doubt ourselves and feel a bit down. Recently when I was feeling that way, a friend on Facebook posted a meme which said: How…

Spiritual Practice: Trying Something New
If routine is the death of creativity, spontaneity is its life. One of my friends decided her New Year’s resolution was to “have fun.” What a great idea! It leads to all kinds of spontaneous decisions and thoughts. “What if I……” What if I took a watercolor class? What if I drove to a new town for lunch? What if I adopted a cat? What if I wrote a short story? What If I learned a new…

Spiritual Practice: Finding Words for 2024
I don’t do New Year Resolutions, but I do like to think of a word or phrase to try and live into for the new year. Today at my pilates class, the instructor suggested the phrase More in 24. That might be a good word for you but to me; it just conjured up the rampant consumerism we already live in, so it won’t work for me. Someone else suggested Roar in 24. You might like that to help bring out…

Spiritual Practice: Seeing Yourself as a Stranger
I’ve been quiet here lately, doing a lot of book signings, gathering with friends, and celebrating the holidays with family. I hope you are surrounded by love and light, good friends, warmth, and delicious food this season. I’ve been enamored by a book by John O’Donoghue lately, called Anam Cara: A book of Celtic Wisdom. It is so deep that I’m savoring it slowly and will probably have to read it…

We've decided to do this class virtually so people can come in anonymously since the world has become less safe for our rainbow friends. On Zoom you can change your name and decide not to show your face if necessary. We also hope going virtual will bring in friends from Las Vegas, California, and our rural communities. Please share with anyone who might be interested. The class is November 1st, 8th, and 15th, from 6-8 pm. https://sierraarts.org/product/1101-writing-across-the-rainbow/ #writingcommunity #lgbtqcommunity #queerwriter

Spiritual Practice: Joy and Gratitude
I’ve been enjoying the book The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are, by Brené Brown. She talks about Joy and Gratitude being connected. It’s natural to think if we’re feeling joyful, it’s easy to have gratitude, but she says it’s actually the opposite. If we have gratitude, we’re more likely to be joyful. Brené’s research shows that…
