Is Perfectionism Killing Your Voice?
I’ll confess. I do a few things really well. One is sleep. At bedtime, I can be out in 2 minutes or less. I’m the envy of my insomniac friends and lover. I flip over to my side from my back and presto! My body knows it is sleep time.
The other thing I do really [...]
Loving and Respecting Your Tribe
There was a LOT of emotion flying (105 comments or so at last glance) on Charlie Gilkey’s Productive Flourishing blog about a post by Marissa Bracke called Launch Fatigue and How Not to be an Infomercial. The title says it all, but opinionated folks chimed in with their feelings (or lack thereof) about the “inner [...]
Be Miserable: Not Just for Artists (via Keri Smith)
I found this great Keri Smith survival tool via Elissa Elliott, one of the members of Ronna Detrick’s Conversational Space (a women’s discussion group centered around Faith, Feminism and Truth-please do check it out!).
I’ve loved Keri Smith for a long time. She is 100% authentic, pragmatic, private and creative and the author of many non-traditional [...]

David Whyte’s Everything is Waiting for You
Thanks for reminding me, Ronna.
EVERYTHING IS WAITING FOR YOU
(After Derek Mahon)
Your great mistake is to act the drama
as if you were alone. As if life
were a progressive and cunning crime
with no witness to the tiny hidden
transgressions. To feel abandoned is to deny
the intimacy of your surroundings. [...]
An Exercise from Danielle LaPorte
Danielle LaPorte, Queen of all things “white hot” wrote a post that I’m copying here:
magnetic attraction analysis 101
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is: What am I drawn to? Plenty of people are inspirationally challenged – not sure of what lights their fire. Others are so selective [...]
On Parenting, Possibility and Patti Smith
I’m in love with Patti Smith. Trust me when I say I was not cool enough to love her in her heyday. But a chance grab of her Dream of Life DVD at the library and I was truly, deeply inspired by her. If a single person represents “authenticity” it may be her. I’m reading [...]
Returning to The Cube
Anyone ever see the film Cube? Frighteningly original, it was a bit Saw meets corporate America and came out when Saw was just a glimmer in its warped director’s mind. CUBE was a scary place to be. And so it has always been for me in the world of work. My Twitter profile says “NOT [...]
The Path
I’ve found it particularly hard, throughout my life, to find a path and stick with it. Call it mental or emotional ADD. I see a shiny new ring and I want to grab it. I get fatigued and lose my way. Someone challenges my path and I am filled with self-doubt. And then there is [...]
Good and Evil in the Online Garden
Wow. There is a freakin’ firestorm of conversation about the social media/online world and some of it is unpleasant and still true. Some of it is unpleasant and probably not true.
Nathan Hagen wrote Social Media is a Virus.
Chris Brogan has written a couple of angst ridden posts like this one.
And then there is the ongoing skewering [...]
