Reflections :: Mommy Me-Time
Here comes an important self-admission: I have no kids. I am not a Dandelion Mom. I am a single woman in the second half of my thirties who has devoted the better part of two decades to the work of women. Specifically, how we relate to ourselves, our identity, our experiences of self and the roles we play, and our experiences of our spirits, our spiritualities, our personal growths and beliefs. I am not a mom, no, not at all. You’re right, I don’t get it. Yes, the difference between us is that for me, taking time for me, honoring something as decadent as me-time and personal growth…

In case you didn’t notice in my last post about DIY mason jar projects, it is safe to say that I could be considered somewhat of a hoarder when it comes to random craft supplies. What can I…

A Reiki client I see is struggling with her creativity. She does not value it enough, and reports that she doesn’t have enough time to “do creative things.” To me, this is not an issue to be approached from the classic viewpoint of scheduling. Creativity is not something you pencil in for an hour at 3pm. Creativity is a function of soul. And the soul life is a life based on experience.

Practicing discipline by creating a routine around nurturing creativity is extremely important, indeed if one is trying to approach…
