Beckon the lovely

Needed this today. Take seven minutes to watch it. Then make a grand entrance. Make up. Make out. Make peace. Make a friend. Make do. Make a difference. Thanks to Mieke from South Africa for pointing me to this.

Live an open-hearted life

When she walked in the door at the recent Life is a Verb retreat, I knew immediately who she was. Caren writes a blog called Open-Hearted Life and my first impression was that her heart was wide, wide open. She brought all of us heart and light and rhythm at …

Oh, Jodi. What an incredible welcome. I now know I need a boa.

More to come on the fantastic trip to Madison (can I move here?), but for the moment, the arrival. Jodi Cohen, boa, sign. Perfection.

How I get things done and what I collect

Two women named Carrie and Danielle are looking at how to live an inspired life, be true to yourself, and make a difference in the world. I was delighted when they connected with me to say they’d been bumping into 37days out in the universe and wanted to explore what …

Madison and Minneapolis, here I come!

What I love about this Life is a Verb book tour is that it is 100% driven by 37days readers. Kathy Schuth wrote from South Bend, Indiana, and there I went. I’ve already told Kathy I’ll be back for more of that pumpkin and squash soup when the next book …

I went to Germany today

Everywhere I travel to talk about Life is a Verb (MADISON AND MINNEAPOLIS THIS WEEKEND!), I take a small metal "shrine" with me, one filled with gorgeous beads. A woman in Germany named Tari June Goerlitz made it for the book art project (and several other pieces of art–see pages …

If you know someone with Autism or Asperger’s, you need to know about this book (and perhaps you will win a free copy!)

My neighbor and dear incredible amazing friend, Catherine Faherty, has written  another book helping individuals with Autism or Asperger’s and their loved ones, this one explaining death to them. I know she wrote it for that specific audience, but I believe it has great relevance for the rest of us, …

Desire lines and liminal spaces…and seeing differently

One of the greatest joys of my life is the enormously deep and rich and loving community I have found in writing 37days. From the very beginning, amazing people started coming here and teaching me things, telling me their stories, so much so that the recent Life is a Verb …

Finding the comfort of our own wisdom

Jennifer Louden’s work is not a stranger to many of us. A fan of her work, and the ways in which she leads people to the comfort of their own wisdom, I was humbled by her interest in Life is a Verb and by her kind words: "I adore Patti …
