The Blog For Real-Life Heroines

“It is the intention that is the important thing – that’s what transforms a walk into a pilgrimage.” – Caro Woods, artist

If you’ve been following the winding path of my blog and videos starting this January, I’ve declared that I’m on a “stay at home” pilgrimage. I’m studying and learning about the...

Spiritual Journey

And the world cannot be discovered

By a journey of miles,

No matter how long,

But only by a spiritual journey,

A journey of one inch,

Very arduous and humbling and joyful,

By which we arrive at the ground

At our feet,

And learn to be at home.

— Wendell Berry

“Stories are medicine… they have such power; they do not require that we do, be,

act anything – we need only listen. The remedies for repair or reclamation of any

lost psychic drive are contained in stories.” 

“…Stories are embedded with instructions which guide us about the complexities of lif...

 Turning 70 last year was (gulp) a big step. Hey, do you even know about “collagen drop?” I didn’t. Now I do. Go look it up. Yikes, suffice it to say I now know and well, it’s happening. There’s so much I’ve taken for granted about my body and now it seems to want more of my attention.

Turning 71

Of course, you are! Whatever needs work in us (if there is anything!) is always fixable. If you want to fix it or a better way to say it – if you want to change something about yourself, at any time, you can. It’s your choice. But sometimes you need help…

We Are All Redeemable 

In my last video, I...

We are doing it again (here’s what we did last year) - sharing what’s out there to please Heroines young and old. My hope, dear Heroines, is that you’ll find here something here to make your own shopping easier and maybe even more fun.

What were our selection criteria? Well, our intuition led the w...

Grab a cup of tea or a coffee and let’s sit down so I can fill you in. There’s so much going on! No, I’m not talking about the election or the stock market, the climate summit, Hurricane Nicole, or the Beaver Blood Moon eclipse. Those are all worthy topics for discussion and we are fortunate to have...

Candy Corn or Courage? 

I’m not talking about candy corn (one of my favorites) or candy apples (too sticky) or even cider and donuts when I suggest that you should treat yourself on Halloween this year. 

I’m talking about giving...

I’m shaking your tree with this blog post, Heroine. I’m knocking down those acorns and scattering those fall apples onto the ground. I’m setting those colorful leaves cascading down. It’s wake-up time and I have a BIG invitation for you!

Can you hear your future calling?

We never know what’s aroun...

Do you think you’re ordinary?

It's important to me – IT’S MY MISSION!! - that all women know that they are greater (by this, I mean “more than” – much more) than they think they are – that they are what I call, Heroines.

Yes, I’m talking to you, dear Heroine. You, who probably considers yourself, ...

“I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world and the more peaceful our planet will be.” - Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

Are you stuck, blocked, at a dead end, confused, up against a brick wall…

“When people ask, ‘Why do we write morning pages?’ I joke, ‘To get to the other side.’ They think I am kidding, but I’m not. Morning pages do get us to the other side: the other side of our fear, of our negativity, of our moods.” - Julia Cameron
