A New Author’s Life
Ours is a breadcrumb journey
Posted at Feb 05, 2013 | | 25 Comments
Two different worlds we live in. That’s the 1950s tune my head and heart have been singing to each other in a growing rift that’s been tearing me apart. So I’ve made the hard decision to start letting the heady world go and see where my heart might lead. It’s scaring the shit out of Read more...
Ikaria: Siren call, wakeup call, or what?
Posted at Jan 14, 2013 | | 11 Comments
Is Ikaria merely my latest sun, tempting the Leo/Icarus I am to fly too close and burn? Ouch! That was the radical conclusion of my friend Ron Blouch after reading I was smitten with a Greek island in my last post. I felt I’d been punched in the stomach or caught with my pants down. Read more...
Breaking up is hard to do, Part II: What would Bapuji do?
Posted at Nov 06, 2012 | | 19 Comments
What would Bapuji do indeed? That question is the chorus for this “Breaking up” blog saga of mine. Last time, I shared how a virtual cold shoulder by my once beloved spiritual home left me saddened and confused, about my relationship with Kripalu and my life purpose as a whole. My dilemma seems small Read more...
Breaking up is hard to do, Part I: My Kripalu Conundrum
Posted at Oct 22, 2012 | | 20 Comments
“What would Bapuji do?” That zinger of a question popped right out the other day, not of my mouth, but of my beloved husband Trond’s. It was exactly the right question to help us cut to the chase in the peskiest conundrum I may have faced since becoming a published author. The problem has been Read more...
Seeing the light again, thanks to you
Posted at Jul 16, 2012 | | 18 Comments
Time flies when we’re having fun, and sometimes when we aren’t. So here goes another post. And hey, after my share of dark days (inside and out), you might be glad to hear that sun and fun are coming around again, and—if I may stay with the clichés—a spot of light beckons from the end Read more...
Onward and downward to surrender and trust!
Posted at May 22, 2012 | | 21 Comments
Oh, dear God! The roller coaster rides on, and this girl hangs on for dear life. Okay, not quite. But there was a moment several weeks ago when, sitting stressed at my desk, I came as close to fainting as I ever have. My book took a significant toll on my body. It scared me Read more...
Awakener and Scribe (not Bookseller!) am I
Posted at May 09, 2012 | | 15 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...
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...
Is the social media marketing big tent folding?
Posted at Jun 28, 2011 | | 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...
