There Is A Method In My Gladness + An Invitation đź’Ś For You
After experiencing a particularly harrowing part of my day the other day feeling anxieties, fears and resistance, I tried to “feel better” before I actually did. This really never works. Feelings always know 🙂 I’ve learned and practice that if I can “be with” the...

SARK and the Purple Crayon
 When I read the book Harold and the Purple Crayon as a child, I felt like I could create anything. Then I was challenged by life, and the living of life, and fell into a long silence with what I dreamed of creating and writing. Thankfully I reread Harold and the...

One of the very best love mentors ever
 One of my very best love mentors ever was and is my big black cat Jupiter, who lived and loved with me for 17 years. I called him my “fur husband” and he slept with me every night - and part of each day as I was completely nocturnal at that time in my life. Here we...

A Valentine LIFE
The whole concept of Valentine’s Day was not ever meant to be only for couples, or if it was, it’s missing out on a lot. If we’re going to have a celebration of love, let’s make it inclusive of EVERYone. Loving ourselves truly so we can truly love others is the real...

Here Comes Some Animated Love
I’ve been loving zoom teaching since 2010, and since last year, I’ve zoomed more than ever. Representing the spirit of SARK is my full time gift and privilege. You will notice a lot going on in this photo of my screen from a few months ago. My smile, a giant purple...

What We Must Do
Be happy. Pure hearted happiness is revolutionary if we practice it in the midst of all of our other feelings and experiences. Here I am being re-MINDed on one of my daily miracle walks in San Francisco. And when you can’t be happy, (which happens to me periodically...

More Revealings for the Healings
Here we are in America, seeing and experiencing such intense devastation in the aftermath of the riots in Washington last week, and white supremacy dominant all around. It feels truly heartbreaking to witness and experience all the divisive and cruel behaviors and...

Built to Love
My love partner David arrived to our lunch table wearing this post it on his T-shirt. And of course two tiny rainbows hopped on for emphasis. He had received this message in one of his daily communions with God & spirit, and had written these words in his journal,...

Happy Thanks~Grieving
Here we are in America, at Thanks~Giving time, and in the world all-ways giving thanks. I think of it as Thanks~Grieving too. It might seem odd to give thanks for grieving, yet I believe it is generative to be gratefull for the grieving as much as we acknowledge all...

The Art of Heart Opening
About 2 years ago, David moved from his home in Massachusetts to my home in San Francisco- he had lived in California for most of his life before that. We met on my “Inspiration Phone” line (415 546 3742) and grew in love talking on the phone for months before we met....

The Power Of The Afterlife
This is John, my beloved former fiancé who died in my arms in March 2016. It was one of the most horrifying and gorgeous experiences of my life, and I’ve written a lot about it previously in my Magic Blog, including about many of his amazing activities in the...

I Miss Sitting Close
This photo is from a tiny party I had in July 2018, before David moved in and before the world of ourselves changed. Thank you dear Andrea for standing on the couch to take the photograph. Thank you from left to right: Virginia, Yofe, moi, Val, Eric, Vanda, Monica....

A Miracle Encounter + Invitation
A few months after my former fiancé John died, I replaced the blinds in our bedroom, and the installer helped me take the old blinds to the recycling bin. As we did this work together, I said, “Thank you for helping me do this. My fiancé John would have helped, but...

I Send You
Here we are in these moments of our lives, feeling our way through it all. Life and love go on, no matter what else is going on. I’m feeling an immense tenderness for each of us, creating our ways forward, and inward. We contain multitudes in our stardust selves,...

SPARKY SARKY back to PLAY
It’s incredibly fun to “be SARK.” And I always love how my Australian friends change my name to “SARKY.” It makes me SMILEY;-) I feel like I’m the representative of the SARK spirit, and in that way, we’re all “SARK.” I’m inviting you and your inner SARK out to play...

What SPARKS You
I’m always asking this question, “What will spark me?” and wondering what will get me going on one of my many creative plans or projects. Because: The siren call of lethargy is always strong. The voices that tell me all the reasons why not are loud. The absences of...

A Rapture of Apricots
I reposted this *photograph on Facebook and it gathered SO many delicious comments and magical memories- thank you if you were one of the contributors, and for you reading or seeing now! *I haven’t been able to locate the name of the photographer- if you know, please...

How To Be A Happy Writer
As we know, the living of life does not always feel happy, and there are countless reasons. I believe and practice with the idea that happiness can be cultivated in the marvelous messy middle places where most of the living of life takes place. My mom always said,...

Beginnings of SARK
Here I am at age 10, in Minneapolis Minnesota, in the tiny playhouse my grandfather (Boppa) had built for me. It had sliding glass windows, a linoleum floor and electricity, along with my dream of a “dutch door” where I could open the top door and peer out. I had...
