A Red Thread Voices Announcement
Today is a special day. Well, it is for me anyway. And hopefully for you too. Because today I announced over on Red Thread Voices that my poetry collection From Revolutionary Lips will be available for purchase from the 7th of November – which just happens to be my birthday! Bold, brave and beautiful, these poems are not for the faint of heart. Diving deep into the mystery, let From Revolutionary Lips take you on a journey of one woman’s becoming – and feel your own journey reflected back. Meet Lilith and Salome and Pandora – feel their desire, dance with their madness and free their voices – and in so…

Smir
The tiniest of raindrops speckle my skin and lace my hair. Cooling. Soothing. Calling me into stillness. Almost like being dressed in the chill embrace of a cloud stooped low enough to kiss the breakwater. Out here, today, even the seabirds don’t speak. They hold their peace. A trio of terns skim the waves in silence… I watch them make for home, their sharp-edged wings slicing through the smir. They know where they’re going. They know where home is. It is here. It is here. It is here.

Where the Virtual Meets the Sacred
Yesterday, I spent most of the day building virtual altars. You see, each Practical Magic Business Circle sister has her own space within the circle itself. A place to call her own, where she can seed her intentions, share her struggles and successes, ask for guidance, for support, and to deeply connect with her business. On each altar, I added some information about the business goddess that stepped forward to meet both circle sister and her business, along with a link to a Pinterest board I’ve created for that goddess, and an image that I think resonates with the particular gifts this goddess is bringing. Each one of these altars…

Invitational Marketing or Why I Don’t Hard Sell
It’s not in me to do a hard sell. I really don’t see the point in them. Our lives are full of things that contribute to feelings of tension and pressure. You don’t need me contributing to that. You really don’t. Pressing on pain points to manipulate you into clicking the Buy Now button? No, thank you. Really not my style. Not only do I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to capitalise on another’s pain, but I don’t actually think a hard sell makes good business sense. Especially for offerings such as mine. And, I suspect, such as yours. Think about it. I have this current offering – the Practical…

Where Edgedancers Find Home
The tide was way out. Further than I’ve seen it in a long time. A whole other layer was revealed of the breakwater. A layer where the large stones were not ordered to create a smooth gradient. But were instead a messy disordered pile, which then gave way to tall spikes of sea kelp that stuck straight up from the low waves. I was out for a walk to the lighthouse. And while I began near the top of the breakwater, I soon found myself standing on these revealed rocks. I hopped lightly from one to the other, keeping my balance as I navigated a non-existent path encrusted with limpets…
