Writing and Art
I've promised myself I'd blog for 30 days in a row and I'm still going strong. This enhances my daily writing practice and has helped me become more disciplined. I usually do the blog writing at sunrise and this time I was listening to blues as I wrote which is very inspirational. Today when I woke up I decided to write about bringing together art and writing in the form of an artist's book. I have found over the years that I typically separate the two disciplines. Devoting large chunks of…See More

Journey into Holistic Creativity
This holiday season I am giving a different type of gift. This gift is for anyone interested and it is also personal. Instead of having my different types of creative expression so separate from one another I've decided to spend the next 30 days blogging every day about artmaking and the creative process. This blog is my virtual writing and art studio. An inspirational virtual space where the two art forms meld and blend. Join me on this 30 day visual and literary journey here:…See More

Stephanie Bird commented on the blog post 'My Mood Rises and Falls with Reviews and Amazon Ratings'
I too share your experience of being on the amazon.com roller coaster ride especially with my first book. I agree with you whole heartedly--the only reviews that really matter are those have taken the time to really 'get' the book,…
Sacred Garden for Conjuration
I love gardening, but tending plants is an opportunity for growing more than fruits, vegetables, flowers, and trees in a mundane way. In gardening each year, I learn a little more about my "self" and the environment, community, state, region, ancestors, and deities that surround me. I call these activities two things: sacred gardening and conjuration. Together they help me build a sacred garden for conjuration, an activity I would like to share with you.I am a sacred gardener. Through this…See More

Is Herbalism Dead?
Interviews can be fun and interesting. In preparing for an interview, I often try to prepare beforehand by figuring out what the questions will be. Sometimes I’m dead on with a few questions but there is always the stumper. Recently, I had an interview wherein the interviewer successfully baffled me. I think she was playing devil’s advocate but I can’t be sure. Her question was very thought-provoking; it was something to the effect of: With so many ready-made herbal products available why on…See More

I was born in 1960. I don't feel as though I am a boomer but it's nice to be included instead of being the lost generation. I don't feel as though my generation was particularly lost either. I write nonfiction mostly alternative…
