And how’d that work out? He became even more of a superstar because a bunch of uptight fuddy-duddies couldn’t deal with all the hip waggling. They just blasted a giant spotlight of rage on him and all the kids said, “That’s what I want,” and well … Long Live the King. The Stones and the […]
A client recently mentioned they’d seen some videos about cymatics and asked, “Is that what’s happening when you do sound healing?” Yes! Exactly that! Our cells are made largely of water, and water forms into beautiful patterns when exposed to certain frequencies. It brings the water “in tune” and sets up this lovely evidence of
Creating art can be an act of resistance, which is maybe one of the major reasons to do it. Art can show us new ways of thinking, new ways of understanding an idea. Maybe we’re afraid of something and we read a story in which the object of our fear, a spider or a snake
Well, I’ll be damned. Just when I thought it was all doom and gloom, there are little slivers of hope like fragile shards of broken light penetrating my world. Don’t worry, it’s mostly still doom and gloom, maybe just doo and gloo, though. Michael and I watched a PBS series called A Brief History of

And silliness in movement, of course. Gotta have the silly. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time being still in the past 10 days post-eye surgery, and am struggling a bit to get moving again. Part of me wonders if I am just not ready, and another part of me wonders if … well,
Twelve years ago this month I stepped away from an unhappy marriage and never looked back. Yeah, yeah, do the math … okay there was some overlap. Whatever. I’m over it. The Lightning of True Love struck a bit before I was safely able to extricate myself from the situation I was in. It happens.
