Updates from last week: Last week, I invited in shift, and hey! On Monday, suddenly I was no longer stressed about my insane to-do list! That was not what I was expecting, but it did just work. This is why I love magic, people. Read more

Why I Am A Witch

Last updated on: April 4, 2013 at 10:24 am By Sarah Twichell

Before the beginning, there was only desire. Desire moved the sacred into form. I don’t know if it was one form or two or if it exploded at once into many gorgeous facets of life; when God Herself whispers this story into my ear, She doesn’t always tell it the same way. Read more

This past week, I noticed flowers! Snowdrops and crocuses are up everywhere, although some of them seem a bit floppy because of late-season snowstorms. But even the ones that are squashed are blooming. How's that for a metaphor? Read more

Anne Lamott on finding time

Last updated on: March 27, 2013 at 9:27 pm By Sarah Twichell

This is one of my all-time favorite quick reads: Anne Lamott on finding time for what is important. I ask them, is there a eucalyptus grove at the end of their street, or a new exhibit at the art museum? An upcoming minus tide at the beach where the agates and tidepools are, or a great poet coming to the library soon? A pond where you can see so many turtles? A journal to fill? If so, what manic or... Read more

Hello, week! Hello, practice. Every Monday, we practice together. This past week, I noticed that my idea of what I need to do isn’t always right. I heard myself saying to several people this week “I need to do X, and Y, and Z, but there just isn’t time.” This was true, so I didn’t do X and Y and Z and it pretty much turned out okay. Some of those are things that will eventually need to get done, and... Read more

Bodywork and spiritual practice

Last updated on: March 19, 2013 at 10:50 am By Sarah Twichell

Ali Bourgault of A Healing Vibration: "There really isn’t a separation between my personal spiritual practice and my bodywork practice. Both practices are centered around love and gratitude and at this point I couldn’t imagine one practice without the other.
