Dear sparkly you, Happy Spring! It’s official! (or, Happy Fall for my Down Under tribe). I love the change of seasons, and I especially love those intoxicating moments of hope when the weather begins to behave like it’s really going to give you what you want. Just a few consistent sunny days with temperatures that…
Dearest sparkly star, This week marks the new moon in Pisces coupled with a solar eclipse and we all have much to anticipate. I’m sure you feel it. We’re coming to the end of the astrological year, beginning a new cycle of growth and understanding and welcoming the big reveals of our winter dreaming, or…
Dearest luminous You, I wonder if you know what your soul needs? Is it different than what your small self wants? Are they ever the same? Can they be? This morning I was thinking about that as I wrote my list of what I wanted to manifest in my life. For a long time now…
Dear you, Not feeling too sparkly this week yet while writing this I am in deep gratitude for my life, and all its ups and downs. I’m grateful for my tribe, and your willingness to share your stories too. I love our conversations, our humanness, our holding the umbrella together when the rains come, our…

Dearest beautiful you, I’m feeling vulnerable right now. In the cycles of time each anniversary of an important event I, like you, get a chance to revisit and remember how things were, and how we change when we do the necessary work, how we don’t if we keep the resentments and old stories alive. Perhaps…
Dear spark of brilliant luminosity—that would be you I’m sitting here slightly tired from the previous evening’s sneeze-a-thon thinking about self care and what that means beyond Kleenex and hot tea. Away from all the obvious feed a cold starve a fever remedies, there is something so much deeper to contemplate. Ever since I took…
Dearest sparkling light in the world—You, This week we enter the first mercury retrograde cycle of 2015 ( Jan 21) which is a perfect time to retrace your steps and have a look at some of the ways in which you need to reaffirm your self care. I posted an article/quiz on my public FaceBook…
