Let’s tell each other one thing that we love about the other person before we go to sleep. Okay, Mama. I’ll go first. I love the way your whole face lights up when you smile. Oh, Mama. That’s sweet…And I love when you give me strawberries. *** […]
Like Mother, Like Daughter
December 27, 2013 by
As I write this, my just turned 9 year old daughter is sleeping beside me, curled up and making sleep sounds. We are still in that post Christmas stupor and I’m feeling a bit strange that this was the first birthday and Christmas that the daughter wanted absolutely no toys whatsoever. Her list to Santa […]
Body Back: How to Make Friends with Our Reflections
December 23, 2013 by
Newsflash, y’all! Kim Kardashian has her body back. No surgery, haters. So stop your finger-pointing and snide headlines, already. US Weekly calls Kim’s “exclusive” picture proof the ultimate revenge for all the post-baby body bashing stories.

Driven: The Prize
December 18, 2013 by
by Rachel Kargas I have always been self motivated. In school nobody had to remind me to do my homework. In college I could be found at 10PM on a Friday night in the quiet corner of the Memorial Library nursing a cup of black coffee while my friends were out doing shots and drinking Sex On […]

F-Bombs, Secrets, & Random Facts
December 11, 2013 by
Watch your back, Cinderella I hate spiders. If all the Disney Princesses tried to take out Wonder Woman in a fight, I’d put money on Wonder Woman. Hands down. Real shredded coconut “tastes” like paper to me. Shut. Up. When I am out in public here in Maine and make eye contact with another […]
The Myth of Persephone
December 2, 2013 by
I’ve been trying to write about just about anything else but the myth of Persephone and how she is haunting and nagging me this week. Full disclosure–I’m taking this great course in female archetypes. We’re in our second week and Persephone/Kore is the goddess manifestation we are thinking about this week. If you aren’t familiar with […]
Announcing the #BodyThanks Event
November 22, 2013 by
If I asked you what you are thankful for right now…what would you say? Would you say you are thankful for your health? Your family and friends? Your job or the view from your bedroom window? All of those and more, I would imagine. We’re grateful for our kids and for our family pets and […]
Transgender Day of Remembrance, Today November 20th
November 20, 2013 by
Today is International Transgender Day of Remembrance. Why? Did you know that the bulk of the violence towards the LGBTQ community is directed at transgender women? Whether it’s school ground bullying from students and teachers, Republican House of Representative members, employers, the violence perpetrated against this community must end. I’ve invited Helena Anya Zeitgeist who has […]
This is My Brave is HAPPENING!
November 18, 2013 by
We did it. You did it. I really don’t give a damn how cheesy I sound because I am thrilled to announce that This is My Brave just ended a successful kickstarter campaign to produce a live performance of the same title. The focus is ending the stigma of mental illness and that, my […]
