What about this Blog?
Start here
Hello there. Do we know each other? Maybe. Maybe not.
You can read about me on my About page (makes sense, right?).
I wanted to start by saying a bit about why I decided to move my writing to my website. I have been writing on Medium (sporadically) and Substack (regularly). But here’s the thing. Those platforms are not SEO friendly and they’re outside of my audience; in other words, if you don’t know to go there or haven’t subscribed, then you don’t have access to the good stuff I like to post - like essays on slow living, how to go through life transitions with ease and grace, experiences of wonder and awe, and lots of photos of Sophie and Kludde and the Algarve beauty.
This site is my online home and I’d like to invite you to visit me here.
I have many great posts on Substack at Nothing Is Ordinary, some I will likely move here.
In the future, I’ll post minimally there and I’ll post on Notes (Substack’s version of Bluesky), leaving online breadcrumbs leading my followers and subscribers there to my website and writing here.
2024—>2025
In the weeks between Christmas and New Year, I noticed where my time and energy have been going. Too much of it is scattered in the internet universe floating around without purpose. I’ll also share my most creative work - poetry, essays, new books, courses and more. And this is the place to be brave and do that.
New Beginnings
I have ambitious plans for 2025. I’m working on my next book, on a book of poetry, and writing essays with the hopes of having them published in magazines and journals. I begin producing the audiobook for The Shaman’s Wife so it should be available by March 2025. I plan to hone my writing craft and learn from some of the amazing writers and teachers on Substack.
With so much content and workshops and books that I’ve produced, this year I’ll open a store on the website to share these with you.
And finally, I’d like to bring into my life more ease and time to explore. I got so busy with the publication of my memoir, The Shaman’s Wife, that I let those unexpected day trips and adventures with Sophie lapse. I sorely need to return to those and share them with you here.
A Favor
I invite you to subscribe to my newsletter so that you know when I post on the blog and you can follow my adventures, learn from my insights and take advantage of my resources, retreats, offers and services. I send it out twice a month so I won’t overwhelm your Inbox. If you’d like to take a look at past newsletters, you can do that HERE.

Whew!
That was quite an update! I appreciate your support and I am honored and respectful of your engagement with me, my work and my life.
