Nature By Any Other Name, or, Everything Is Male
Excuse Me SirI realized something a while ago. As I was walking on the beach, I was commenting on a dolphin diving in the waves and my preferred pronoun for this graceful creature was ‘he’ or ‘him.’ I paused and checked in with myself – why? Why wasn’t that dolphin a female? It was impossible to distinguish its gender.
The response I observed in myself was very quiet and very subtle. If, it…
Space Is Power“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” Viktor Frankl’s wisdom was transmuted in the cauldron (more…)
I am in the process of launching some new products and projects: an online course called Empowered Wellness Through Self-Care, and, The Juju Company. They began as inspired ideas and now I am in the thick of the difficult, challenging, sometimes messy act of making them a reality. (more…)
Delirium Tremens(from Wikipedia)
The main symptoms of delirium tremens are nightmares, agitation, global confusion, disorientation, visual and auditory hallucinations, tactile hallucinations, fever, high blood pressure, heavy sweating, and other signs of autonomic hyperactivity (fast heart rate and high blood pressure).Seem familiar?

The cruelty, sadness, ignorance, ugliness and pain of the world get to me sometimes.
Years ago, when I was a single mom, working for a national bookstore chain and working to figure myself out, I would arrive home at the end of a day and simply lie down on the floor. And weep. Tears would flow unrestrained, rinsing my skin in my own grief. This was how I coped with the strain of life.

Storytelling and Conscious Parenting
Last April, Mariah Joy Belt, Conscious Parenting Guide and I shared a wonderful conversation about storytelling with children as a way of exploring our values and deepening our understanding of them.
Enjoy this recording, share it with those you love, and send any questions or comments you may have my way. :)

When we set out on a journey of discovery – of who we are, who we wish to be – stories are an excellent mirror in which to see new aspects of ourselves. This story is a beautiful mirror that I discovered it in a book edited by Christina Feldman and Jack Kornfield.

Dear Fight for the Future member,
Last week, three anonymous artists put up a statue of Edward Snowden in a public park in Brooklyn. They crafted this bronze bust as ‘a gift to the city’, a memorial meant to spark conversations about issues central to our freedom.
Within hours, it was confiscated and turned over to the NYPD. [1]
But this morning, free speech advocates in NYC held a press conference to demand the confiscated Snowden bust be returned to the artists.
Sign the petition joining the call for the NYPD to return the Snowden statue.
A local gallery has already agreed to exhibit the work while the artists submit an application to legally install the sculpture through the New York City Parks Department. In other words, New York could soon have a permanent monument to the whistleblower who challenged NSA surveillance. But first we need to free the statue!
Snowden may still be in exile for exposing the NSA’s crimes, but we can honor his efforts to hold the US government accountable by making sure this artwork gets released. Sign the petition now, and share it widely!
Thanks for all that you do,
-Susan, Evan, Holmes, Tiffiniy, Jessica, Vasjen, Charlie and Jeff
