It’s been a bit of a week!
Blessedly negative Covid tests for one of our girls. Uncertainty over holiday plans. Very large dogs to get ready for Camp.
Ready, I might add, without blowing the secret. They get REALLY excited when they figure it out!
Lots of (less exciting) laundry to do. Well, you know the drill…
Along with a Nancy Drew adventure with the email elves. (I hope I figured it out!)
Painting. Planning for new workshops coming in February. (Think Unsticking Stuck Stuff!”)
Rapidly multiplying lists of questions.
Last minute cyber-elfing.
And an utterly amazing bit of time to hang out with Shiloh Sophia and Jonathan McCloud in a virtual place known as Revisioning.
If you made it, too… Hallelujah!

I’m not quite sure I can explain it, yet. It’s about the wisdom which lives in our bodies and something called a Choice Cascade which helps us put that wisdom to work, with coherence, in the service of what I think of as our Big Why.
One of the things I’ve learned over the last months is just how helpful it is to claim that Big Why and make choices in ways that support it.
If you’ve taken the Intentional Grandmothers Archetype Quiz, you’ve met a way my Why is taking form. (If you haven’t, I’m so hoping you will! Grandmothers, folks who think like grandmothers, and even very brave grandfathers are welcome!)
It’s free, quick, easy, fun, and, according to lots of folks who’ve already taken the leap, a powerful way to feel seen and claim their power. I’ll put a link at the end.
First, the Grinch. The “real” one. Not Jim Carey.
I’m betting you know the story. Bill and I watched last night. One of our traditions.
Despite the Grinch’s claim that, “I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming,” it does, of course, come anyway.
Christmas in a spiritual sense, for some of us.
Christmas in a deeply human sense for many, many more of us… “heart to heart and hand to hand”.
Which feels to me like something that would be pretty useful about now. The stories about who we were created to be that can’t be shoved up the chimney and stolen, no matter how hard some might try.
Dr. Seuss’s heroine was little Cindy Lou Who who helped generations of us learn – as I might phrase it – to sing anyway, however we can!
The wee one in the photo is one of our little Cindy Lou Who tribe. And a living, breathing Big Why in my world. All of our littles are.
And my choice cascade involves singing anyway, despite a lifetime of folks who tried to convince me that the world would probably be happier if I didn’t. Literally, at least.
There’s room for LOTS of us!
Take the quiz! Schedule a chat. Plan for some individual time, or a workshop.
Christmas Day is in our grasp. As long as we have hands to clasp.
ps… we’re a bit past the moment for Christmas deliveries, but there’s lots of fun Big Why gifts and art at FierceArtWithHeart!
