The Blog For Real-Life Heroines

 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…

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.

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.

“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

Heroines! Here’s another blog post about the labyrinth! I can’t stop talking about them! This blog post accompanies the video I recorded for my YouTube channel, which is a pictorial view of my discovery of the labyrinth.

While preparing to write to you today, I re-r...

Who is feeling very distracted lately? You? I know, me too - really distracted.

Just now, for example…I’m walking through my kitchen to turn off the hose that is watering my too-dry vegetable garden. ..(The peas didn’t make it.) and I notice my cat in the sink, which means she wants water, so I tur...

(This is a two-part blog. Part 1 explained the concept of the Virgin’s Promise. Now, two weeks later, Part 2 invites you to put your own life into the framework of the Virgin’s Promise.)
