    Are You Using Your Sanity Toolkit This Holiday Season?

    Holidays are coming, holidays are coming…and the lead up to the holidays is full of that insane energy of excitement plus too much to do plus pressure of making this year awesome plus (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway) the energy of winter encouraging hibernation just at the time you need to be DOING on speed.…

    It’s OK To Honour Your Needs

    So, I did a stupid thing last week. A really stupid thing. I stayed up late. We’re not talking an hour late…we’re talking I went to sleep at 5.30 in the morning! And not for a good reason, like dancing, or partying or a new lover…I stayed up to watch the election results! I know…how…STUPID.…

    At the end of September, Allison Crow had a free Doodle Meditation event on Facebook – it was her Manifestation and Meditation with Markers Chakra Series.
