I can't think of anyone better to teach about conjuring confidence in yourself than the incomparable photographer King Moe!

This spell is part of a very steep learning curve for me, and, I suspect, for you.

It's the last New Moon of 2021, AND the final solar eclipse of a sequence that started in May of 2020. It's an especially good time to pause, to take stock of what's changed and how we've changed with it. To remember that we're all...

I've got a vulnerable one for you this time, my loves. It's about the ways that society labels us as different, and how we contort ourselves to either fit in or stand out in the Right Ways. It's about learning to love the things that set us...

When we're struggling with a new practice or an old habit, it's tempting to blame ourselves. To say “I can't,” and surrender to frustration and guilt. What if we gave ourselves permission to learn and grow and fail gracefully? And to seek...
