Prologue As this is my last post of 2015, a lot has been coming up for me in terms of what to write about. For those of you who know me, or who are regular readers, you know that I’ve been feeling my way through a whole bunch of things lately. It feels as if the past two months have been a real challenge, in that regard, even though everything …
AWE-some Days
The timing of this week’s post happens to fall during the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Jewish day of atonement) which are referred to as The Days of Awe. I did not actually know that this period was called that until one of my friends shared it at our Rosh Hashanah dinner on Monday night. I wanted to know more, so I …
The Only Voice Worth Listening To
I’m seriously considering “copping out” and just posting a few links to podcasts and videos that I’ve been listening to and watching this past two weeks. I’m not sure how to describe how I’m feeling, exactly, but it kind of feels like a dense energy is around me. It’s heavy and sluggish and still. It makes me want to stay in bed and just watch TV. If I’m less coherent …
Spread Your Arms and ALWAYS Trust Your Cape!
This week, there are a bunch of things on my mind. At the moment, because I have just sat down to write, the thing I thought about first is the idea of starting to write a different kind of article, in a different kind of format.

I’ve been here almost a week, after a last-minute decision to attend the Imago Relationships Conference. I had planned to come all along but flights were too expensive, however the universe intervened and, voila! Off I went! The past 7 days have been a …
Tracy Lets Go
Greetings, Soul-Mates! May I call you that? I hope so, because that is how I feel about the people I am connecting with via this blog. You are all such truly lovely and compassionate people and I feel blessed to be getting to know each of you better (even those of you whom I have known for most of my life). To be honest, I was not prepared for the …
Giving Myself The Gift of Creativity
Due to some recent schedule juggling, it seems that I only have an hour to work on this week’s blog. I usually spend an entire afternoon composing these posts so, today, instead of trying to find more time to write this week, I will rise to the challenge and trust that whatever I write in this hour will be “enough”. Now that I think about it, that is actually a …
Traveling Light: Parts 1 & 2
As the summer comes to a close, I’m doing one of my favorite things…sitting down to write in a cozy cafe and reflecting on the abundance of memorable moments from the past two months. I’ve been to so many places, had numerous adventures and gained so much insight that it is hard to decide what to choose for the purposes of this article. But, as often happens when I step …
