Giving the universe space, part one

Posted at Aug 25, 2011 | by Suzanne Grenager | 1 Comments

I said I’d write more about how the miracle of letting go of what doesn’t work makes room for the universe to offer us what does. What was I thinking? I have no idea how that happens. I only know that, for me at least, it does happen, every single time. The trick—and it is Read more...

Practice what you preach, Suzanne

Here’s a sorry, ironic truth about the summer of 2011 for a couple of quirky, well-intentioned Central Pennsylvanians: Trond and I have worked ourselves into a pair of royal swivets publishing a book about the critical importance of people becoming calm and collected enough to make a significant difference in the world. I am not Read more...

My cat is putting himself “to sleep”

Posted at Jul 18, 2011 | by Suzanne Grenager | 3 Comments

My cat is dying today. In the midst of so much other craziness—in my little world and the great wide one—the death of this dear friend of 17 years is suddenly all that matters. He and his demise have my full attention. I say that, yet I sit inside writing while he lies outside, where Read more...

Is the social media marketing big tent folding?

Posted at Jun 28, 2011 | by Suzanne Grenager | 6 Comments

In my last post I said I was behind the times (as well as behind time) for not riding the gargantuan wave of social media marketing to promote my book. Mea culpa for lacking a virtual fan horde. But guess what? I’ve spent another few weeks at the social media marketing circus (if I may Read more...

Suzanne vs. a virtual tsunami (or to tweet or not to tweet…)

Posted at Jun 06, 2011 | by Suzanne Grenager | 6 Comments

So here’s one of those weird, hard book-related things I said I’d talk about: I’ve been drowning in a sea of way too much information about social media marketing. It’s all the rage, of course, to use Facebook, Twitter & friends to hawk whatever you’re selling to your ideal market. And it’s all the rage Read more...

Hold the spinach, bring on the tears

I am blessed beyond words, crazy blessed—always have been—and I am having a really hard time right now. A few days ago a monster storm knocked down a lot of our trees, gouging lawn and just-mulched garden. There’s a huge dent in my new car—again. Matters too personal to share prompted a big cry yesterday. Read more...

Finding my outrageous voice

Posted at May 23, 2011 | by Suzanne Grenager | No Comments

Thank you, dear reader, for showing up at my new Monday morning health practice. Granted, it’s not as calorie-burning or heart-strengthening as jogging—blogging. But if I let it, this start-of-the-week writing ritual will connect me with myself, and with you, at the level of heart. These words I write can strengthen that beautiful blood-red muscle Read more...

The very bad habit of fearing ourselves

Posted at May 09, 2011 | by Suzanne Grenager | 2 Comments

I am a long time writer about to become a first time author, and while I told you I was worried about starting this blog, it’s as nothing compared with the book. I am scared shitless. But why? Of course, it might be the familiar fear of not being good enough—in reality (whatever that is), Read more...

A page a day and presto—a book!

Posted at May 02, 2011 | by Suzanne Grenager | 2 Comments

I woke up the other morning words rushing my head like gulls to bread on the beach. Seems I can no longer bear not to do the one thing I do best to inspire others—writing. After years of hearing that every successful author HAS to have a blog and resisting it like hell, I finally Read more...
