What do you wish to attract?

:: Love and friendship, compassion and wisdom. I want to be surrounded by people who are smart, funny, brave, and kind. Support and companionship.

:: Inspiration and magic, connection to grace. I feel this sometimes when I work, an idea or memory surfaces at exactly the right time and I feel connected to a bigger purpose, understand that I’m not alone.

:: Ease and presence, reminders to slow down and notice. A sunrise, the full moon, a Heron flying low over the length of the river, the sigh of one of my dogs, my husband’s laughter–waking me up and anchoring me to the present moment.

:: A community of readers. This blog isn’t a performance, it’s me sharing my life, but the reality is that if I hope to someday be paid for my art, I need an audience. Underneath that wish is the simple desire to be heard and seen, for acceptance and love.

Update: I can’t believe I forgot to include this, but I also wish that among this community of readers, I also attract a kind and generous publisher, someone who says as my friend once did “I want to read everything you ever write” and is skillful and successful at what they do, who believes in my work wholeheartedly, is wise and brave, and helps me to share my work with the world.

:: The sense of “yes” and “enough,” that fills me with light and helps me release my grasp, relax my grip, let go of poverty mentality. It whispers in my ear that I am on the right path and I am enough, encourages me to be brave and keep going.

The Full Snow Moon asks: “What desires lie deep within?”


Restore yourself. This is your year for retreat, your year to learn to rest, to study, to practice, to find your middle path, to pray and meditate, be mindful.

Bringing your practice to life. You walk the walk, the middle way. You meditate, you sink into your yoga poses, you write and make art, you learn what your dogs have to teach you, take the walks with them and notice. Peace of mind, yoga for life.

Love the weight off. You have carried the physical weight of your suffering and grief and anger long enough. It’s time to let it go, lay it down, but remember this will only happen as you love yourself. Imagine yourself filling with light.

Uncover the hidden brilliance in you. It is there. You can no longer deny it. Its luminescence shines through the cracks, a love and truth that will burn you if you try to contain it. The world needs your light.

Document your journey, a transformational journey. This is the dream, this is the work, this is the task, this is the magic, an epic journey on which you will encounter rough terrain and harsh weather, get lost and hurt, but you will be helped and find love. You must make a map for the others who have yet to travel here, who will go on to make the same journey themselves. And remember, just because you feel afraid and vulnerable doesn’t change the fact that you are courageous, brave, and open-hearted. You are a warrior of truth and love.

Live the life you’ve imagined. This is your dream, your desire, your deepest wish, your passion.
