“Are those really concepts? Aren’t they aspects of a woman’s life?” (Referring to the Triple Goddess: Maiden, Mother, Crone) “What it means to be a woman? Don’t you mean what it IS to be a woman?” “Don’t YOU matter?” … “Yes, I do matter. I matter. I AM matter.” And so go conversations at Goddard [...]

Clothing optional

Posted in Healing, Journaling Techniques & Prompts, Living Authentically, tagged , on March 1, 2011 | 2 Comments »

When I arrived at Kripalu Yoga Center to teach a spirituality writing workshop, part of the welcome by a staff member was an invitation to use the whirlpool and sauna… “clothing optional.” At the time I thought nothing of that statement, I may even have dismissed it with a small laugh.

It is connections that heal

Posted in Healing, Journaling Techniques & Prompts, Looking for the Spiritual, tagged , on January 20, 2011 | 5 Comments »

Since I began grad school last August I have been particularly awe-struck by the twins, Synchronicity and Serendipity. Connections everywhere! Seemingly unrelated events, conversations, books, memories, people have suddenly fallen together like perfectly synchronized cogs.

I am usually blubbering by beat three, tissues whipped out and sniffling muffled. OK, I exaggerate (slightly). What I [...]

On a quest to find the truth

Posted in Healing, Memoir, tagged , , , , on April 13, 2010 | 4 Comments »

I’m sitting here in this hotel room and suddenly I’m struck dumb. No fighting children to break apart, no dinner to prepare, no responsibilities. I could write all night if I so wished. But nope, nothing. Too quiet, no time limit. But I’m not here to write this blog post anyway. Truth is, I came [...]
