The law of attraction has gotten a lot of attention in the last ten years or so, as though it is a new phenomenon, something just discovered. The truth is that this law is as old as the Universe itself, established in the same way gravity exists on Earth. The law of attraction is what…

Oops: The Power and the Problem with Positivity
Who would have ever thought there would be a problem with positivity? Not me. I have always been a pretty positive person. I think a natural byproduct of sustained childhood trauma is that you either come out internalizing all the trauma and ending up depressed or you say “fuck that shit” and you decide you…
Evolution of Self: Learning to Love My Spiral
I sat at my desk this morning, one day away from starting my period (according to my marvelous FitBit), and I welled up with tears as I told someone’s story for her. I was writing an admission essay for a client who had overcome a lot in her life, and I sat in her skin,…
Hear Me Out: Life Is Not About Service to Others
Life is about service to yourself. Life is not about service to others. I know I have said this before in various essays and in various ways, but it bears repeating, especially since the vast majority of my writing is aimed at women. One of the biggest drains on women’s health is their constant serving…
How My Inner Peace Has Affected My Household
I walked out of my girls’ room a couple nights ago and found myself gently laying my hand flat on the door, smiling to myself. They are happy kids. Strong, smart, capable, and just genuinely happy kids. It was the first time in a long time I had actually even thought about it. And I…
Why Divine Inspiration Is Essential to Your Success
For the last year, I have come to a place in my life where I no longer want to do anything without divinely inspired guidance. Wait, what?! If you’ve ever read anything I’ve written, posted, or commented anywhere, you may be shocked by this bold statement. You probably have a sense of where I stand…
It Is All About Beliefs: Why Reality Isn’t That Important
I was so hard for so long. I was hard. “Face the facts.” “Look at the data.” “The evidence doesn’t lie!” I was college educated; I knew so much; I had so much information. I read the news every day, read sociology and history books, scanned headlines throughout the day. I needed to know everything…
Transitions Periods: Not Fucking Easy
I’m up late. Really late. I’ve opened my last bottle of wine. I’ve grabbed my bag of truffles. It’s after midnight. I’m up late. Why? Because I’m forty years old, and I’m transitioning to a completely new phase of my life. I’m leaving behind old and welcoming in new, and it is mostly lovely and…
I’m Having a Miscarriage. I Think?
I’m pregnant. And I’m having a miscarriage. I think. What Do You Mean “I Think?” A little over two weeks ago I looked at my calendar and thought, “whoa! It’s been a really long time since I’ve had a period.” Long cycles are normal for me, so I take them with a grain of salt….
Choose Joy: On Death and Life and My Women’s Circle
My mother’s sister died a few days ago. We knew it was coming. This time last year she was given just months to live. She stuck it out, smiling as always, for a whole year, only getting really bedridden and sick in the very end, and finally succumbing this last Monday. As it was unfolding…
