Awakener and Scribe (not Bookseller!) am I
Posted at May 09, 2012 | | 13 Comments
I’ve been at another crossroads in the life of the newly published author and, for a long moment, it was a very yucky, sucky place to be. I stood, unsettled and uncertain, somewhere between a too-pregnant Mama’s urge to push like hell—to deliver success—and an opposing urge to give my baby up to God, to Read more...
Shame on us! Not if we listen to our guts
Posted at Apr 24, 2012 | | 6 Comments
Is it just me? Or is it painful for you, too, when you think you should be doing some supposedly critical thing you don’t feel you want to do? Isn’t it still worse when you don’t know why you don’t want to do what you think you should? Am I being a coward? Or am Read more...
Ready to trash your nasty karma?

If you’ve read my writing, you know I’m not much for the “ten steps to enlightenment” approach. What I offer you instead, they tell me (and I’m pretty sure they’re right), is inspiration, through words and by example. Seems to come naturally to me, thank God! What I love to do is encourage us—help you Read more...
Guest post: “Want inspiration? Go to bed!”
Posted at Mar 02, 2012 | | No Comments
Are those old standby new year’s resolutions to eat less and exercise more gone? No need to fret, sweat or lose sleep over a lost resolution or two. The single most important resolution, the Queen of resolutions, is well within your grasp, any night of the week. It’s a far easier habit to form than Read more...
My first guest blog post drew lovely comments
Posted at Feb 09, 2012 | | 1 Comments
Years ago I wrote and, with great trepidation, mailed a much-labored-over book proposal to a renowned New York book editor. I had met her quite unexpectedly over the coffee urn at a wedding brunch, where she’d expressed interest in my work. I was sure that what seemed like a wildly serendipitous cup of Joe momentspelled Read more...
Suzanne’s answer to Becky’s burning question.
Posted at Jan 19, 2012 | | No Comments
I am hugely grateful to Alex, Mary and Carol Chris Hudson for their compassionate comments about Becky’s big question. Becky had asked how she can possibly leave the kind of lucrative job she has but hates while her family depends on her for support. Alex encouraged Becky to involve her family, so she doesn’t turn Read more...
Becky’s burning question
Posted at Jan 10, 2012 | | 5 Comments
The morning after this website went live, I opened my email to find my first message from the site’s Connect page. It was from a stranger named Becky, and the subject heading said: “My Fear.” Becky was writing to ask for help with a huge, very tough life question faced, in one form or another, Read more...
Over the moon and under the porch—it’s B Day
Posted at Dec 11, 2011 | | 6 Comments
Holy Moly, me-oh-my-oh! I am doing my little happy dance all by myself. My long-awaited B Day is here. (No, I don’t mean my birthday, though it feels like it and then some.) This B is for my bare-naked book. Bare Naked at the Reality Dance, the book I’ve dreamed of and labored over for Read more...
You’d have thought I was going on Oprah
Posted at Oct 18, 2011 | | 3 Comments
The second I finished the first draft of this post, the fearsome pictures arrived. Thank God—and Goddess (a photographer who, like my book/web designer, is improbably named Shannon)—they are great! But if you’d watched the lead-up to our shoot, you’d have thought I was going to be shot—or on Oprah, a prospect now relegated permanently Read more...
Giving the universe space, part two
Posted at Sep 15, 2011 | | No Comments
Note: In my last post, “Giving the universe space, part one,” I described the miracles that can only happen when we get out of the way by letting go of pesky people and/or activities we have outgrown and thus no longer serve us. I gave a dramatic example from my yoga teaching days. Then I Read more...
