“I really believe understanding the menstrual cycle is a missing key in the wellbeing and creative output of women.” -Claire Baker What?! Now I need to know more. It has never even crossed my mind to think about my cycle in terms of my writing. I know there are some times I feel like writingContinue reading “The Missing Key”

Last Day of April
I am totally easing my way through this last day of April. Will that slow down time? Probably not, but it increases my well-being. Rushing around isn’t good for your heart or your brain (especially during this upcoming finals week). This week, as we transition into a new month, I’ll be taking walks, sipping butterflyContinue reading “Last Day of April”
Easing My Way Through Spring
Affirmation: “I welcome my emerging visions without rushing them into action.” With a million things to do to prep for summer and other transitions coming up in my life, my goal this week is to take things slow and stay in the present. Some things I had to remind myself this evening: I have everythingContinue reading “Easing My Way Through Spring”
Sunday Solitude
Solitude Sunday is my day to honor myself. I spend the morning cleaning and listening to Christina Aguilera or the Fugees. Then I take myself out to get a small treat and read by myself. After that, I come home and seal my day off with a candle-lit bath. This is something that allows meContinue reading “Sunday Solitude”
Book Shopping
So I went to buy a book at Barnes and Noble today with my girls, and they didn’t have the book I wanted in. Someone had purchased the last copy. (Sad face) I wanted to share the book; it’s called Women Living Deliciously by Florence Given. Man, I was prepared for them to have noContinue reading “Book Shopping”
Eye Roll It’s a Me Problem
“The age of a woman doesn’t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson My eyes immediately rolled after this. I think it’s a sign that I need to put aging gracefully into action. I’ve got my 40th birthday coming up in the fall; I’m not sure howContinue reading “Eye Roll It’s a Me Problem”
Sleepy Thoughts
“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it’s right.” — Rosa Parks I’m tired today. I noticed this morning that I wrote last night’s blog and forgot to hit publish. That’s very frustrating for me. But hey, here we are again, writing before bed. Still thinking about femininity. Still having toContinue reading “Sleepy Thoughts”
You’re Worthy of Your Desires
“Empathy is choosing to see ourselves in another despite our differences. It’s recognizing that the same humanity – the same desire for meaning, fulfillment and security – exists in each of us, even if it’s expressed uniquely.” -Vivek Murthy March 30th, 2025, is when I started this journey toward embracing my femininity. After a fewContinue reading “You’re Worthy of Your Desires”
Jung on Feminine
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung I’ve been listening to Carl Jung videos on YouTube to explore his idea of femininity. He theorized the Anima and Animus. He says the Anima is the divine feminine in aContinue reading “Jung on Feminine”
Femininity
“Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.” – Garson Kanin I started to look more into femininity and I found that 54% of women 65+ felt highly feminine in comparison to only 20% of women between the ages of 18-29. I think several factors are at play here. And now I’mContinue reading “Femininity”
