It’s my daughter’s 7th Birthday today. She’s such a little girl now– so full of wonder and wisdom. I am grateful everyday that she is my daughter. I wrote this poem while on retreat in Ojai and I dedicate it to her today. I think she already knows what it took me many years to discover. The Kiss of Sky I sit in a rusty white chair The Continue reading The Kiss of Sky My friends, I am lucky enough to have spent another 36 hours here in Ojai –writing. I feel a rather profound internal shift occurring that doesn’t yet have many words. I know how important it is for me to have this time of silence and Self. I’m going to make a commitment to have this time at least once every 6 weeks. Everyone will benefit — my children, my husband, myself. I Continue reading From Pepper Tree Retreat My 36 hours in Ojai still rings within me. It was a time I know will stand out in my memory. Almost impossible to capture in words, something opened in me for those hours that stretched me into a new understanding and a new sensitivity. I got a glimpse of a different way of living. I consider it such a gift. The LAST 24 hours have been remarkably hard. When we Continue reading Writing Poetry Again The early hour. Hello lovely people! Just a bit of housekeeping right off! I’ve been doing more and more video blogs and I’m discovering that my most loyal and lovely subscribers aren’t receiving the video blogs in the email blog. Until I work out this glitch, if the blog email seems somehow incomplete, do visit my site for the video. I hope to talk a lot of astrology through video on this blog. But Continue reading A Poem for Monday It’s a beautiful morning. It’s early. It’s spring. I’m grateful for the day. I Tell You (excerpt) I could not predict the fullness of the day. How it was enough to stand alone without help in the green yard at dawn. How two geese would spin out of the ochre sun opening my spine, curling my head up to the sky in an arc I took for granted. And the lilac bush by the red brick wall flooding the air with its purple Continue reading Poem for Sunday This poem makes me happy. I breathe deeper when I read it. I soften. I open. North Country Continue reading Poem for Sunday It was my birthday last week–a truly lovely day. You’ve gotta love the Facebook Birthday Reminder. I felt very held, loved and celebrated. A few girlfriends took me out the night before and showered me with love and then on my birthday itself, Andrew took me out for dinner. The location was a surprise. I love surprises. I can relax if I have no idea where I’m going, how long Continue reading Fully Seen Every day I have a “To do” list. The moment I wake I start compiling and organizing and preparing and making lists. One day last year I was crinkling my brow and furiously recording everything that HAD TO be completed on that given day when my husband, Andrew Heffernan (http://www NULL.malepatternfitness NULL.com), put this paper in front of me. He’d been scribbling as I was scribbling. But his “To do” Continue reading A Poem (of sorts) for Sunday One of the things I want to do consistently in this blog is talk about love through many mediums. I’m interested in how astrology can open conversations about love and how poetry is a gateway to pierce the heart. Whatever medium we work with or whatever conversation we are having, there is always a threshold that waits to be crossed. That threshold is an entrance to the heart. And once Continue reading Poem for Monday – Let’s talk about Love |
