"When I read your newsletter, I am reminded of a firecracker (or perhaps a butterfly or hummingbird) that lifts, ascends, dances, bolts, darts, zooms, whirls, and spins into a Tasmanian devil-like array of fresh and generative possibilities. I hear sizzling crackles, hums, whirs, and bangs. I see bold fuchsias, cobalt blues, royal golden yellows, and sparkling silvers. I sense fresh ideas lurking behind and within -- intriguing new ways of looking at the world, oneself, or others. Ways to understand and frame one's experience in a Midas-like touch: turning everyday dross into meaningful gold. Ping. Your high quality newsletter feels like a personal friend, encouraging and so helpful as well as interesting. I have a big folder of many of your newsletters and they have been so nourishing to me -- on many levels and in many ways. Thanks for all your inspiration and for 'keeping me going' many a time."

| Recently, we went to a new way of talking about self-care, organized by four moods and/or stages.
Needing More/ Depleted: Deeply in need of gentle self-soothing, healthy curling-up-in-a-ball-downtime, as well as reminders of your own worth and nudges toward what replenishes you.
Loving Discipline/Tapas: This is the moment and junctures where you need heat, juice, and help staying focused. You have enough energy and your basic needs are mostly being met but you waver in your innate understanding and commitment to making choices that create a life you love. It's when you waver between pushing and shoulding excessively on yourself and listening to your heart and spirit.
Joyful Desire: This is where--mostly--desire is gently tugging you forward and you can often trust that something larger than you is holding you up.
Effortless Service: The moments and relationships and offers in which self-care has blossomed into the fullest and richest expression of service for you.
