I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I adore Patti Digh’s book Life is a Verb: 37 Days to Wake Up, Be Mindful, and Live Intentionally.  I love her writing, her depth, her sizzle. This is a book that makes me sing with life and the possibilities we all have for transformation and […]

I was upstairs this morning making some various art messes and as I was painting pages in my art journal because I thought that might get me into the creative flow (which feels tantalizing close these days but I’m not quite immersed in it yet) and as I was painting I watched thoughts go by […]

That’s the tag line for this blog/website - Kindly Find Yourself - and it’s a phrase I’m sweetly resonating with right now. It is becoming my little creative beacon.
My friend Eric wrote this in response to me talking to him about Kindly Find Yourself as a retreat/class title:

What do I want to do to support myself?

Now what in the heck are my answers? Hmmm… […]

I’m a Frito Bandito…
Just had to write that. I’m dating myself!
I needed to write to CONNECT. I miss our conversations and yet I feel our connection, us creative thinking heart women webbed around the world, opening and closing with the tide of life.
I’M STILL ALIVE and I’m actually, well, great. And good. Certainly stronger. More even-keeled. Learning heaps. […]

I loved this quote from Mark Silver’s newsletter this morning. If you don’t subscribe, do!
“You don’t need to express every last bit of creativity and who you are in your business. You just have to enjoy it, and be willing to bring your heart into it.” — Mark Silver

Long time amazingly intelligent and even more resourceful Helga sent me this story yesterday - I had to share it with you!
From Helga:
“Tried hard to arrange for Sedona, but couldn’t get kid-care on short notice. Guess it wasn’t meant to be. I know it’ll happen when the time is right. Meanwhile, I had a different kind […]
