I can’t tell you how many of you sent this image to me over the past 30 days. More than anything, it let me know you were aware of the tribal pull, and also your own role in creating its energy. How would you describe its energy? Gimme some words. Yes, you gimme some words to describe the tribe and its effect on you, and I’ll give you a story. Here’s the story. Before I called the tribe together, I was feeling discombobulated. We had a trauma in our family a couple of years ago that left […]

          Dear Tribe, Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t give up on your belonging. Show up. Taste the apples. Share the juice.

  The Heart’s Language Dear Love Pie Tribe, You’re going to hear me talk about this a lot, ‘cuz it’s a truth that’s been recently alive in my life in a huge way: The heart’s language. So a friend of mine in the tribe recently had a situation with a love interest. They were friends, then they were more, then not. The pull away left my friend feeling very vulnerable, wanting more, but feeling rejected. Still wanting to be friends and be supportive, but in total truth, wanting the “more” very much, my friend began to despair, asking internally, “What’s […]

        Body Consciousness   Yo Love Pies, This moment happened for me in 2011 when I went to California to complete a three week full body cleanse. Sometime during the teachings and workshops, which were intense, informative and utterly light-bulbish, I got in touch with my body’s consciousness. I had heard it before, read it before, but somehow the truth dropped into me in a new way as I realized each cell, each organ, each muscle, has its own consciousness. And as this truth slowly sank down into me, I realized I owed my body an apology. […]

    Who’s Your Muse?   So I’ve been holding onto this post for a while, but thanks to Jeannie Lindsay‘s prompting, it’s going up today. Jeannie and I wanna know who’s your muse? More specifically, while there are those who wonder WWJD (what would Jesus do) we wanna know who fits in your anachronism? This past year i authored and curated a calendar project that I titled What Would Frida Do? The publisher later changed the title,but the idea stuck: Frida is one of my guides, as I follow her path through trauma, despair, hope and, ultimately, creative expression […]

  The Night Ark   Dear Love Pies, My sweet friend and sister of the heart-pen Susan Wooldridge is an incredible poet. Her words lift and take me to new places of spirit, play and creativity. Sometimes they soothe the savage, anxious frothy-mouth beast that lives in my head. Know that beast? When you feel anxious, overwhelmed, concerned that you’re “not getting there” or you’re “not there yet” or you wonder what is wrong with you, your situation, your progress, your skill level, your track record or track ahead, consider this: “The Night Ark” There’s no hurry, all that floundering by […]

  Bring Me Your Funny I love to laugh. Is it obvious? I am a huge fan of the ridiculous, the ironic, the silly, the raunchy, the laugh-out-loudness of it all. So today Im asking you to bring us your funny. Right here, in the middle of the circle, place a bit of funny. Videos, stories, memes, links, jokes. Anything goes. It’s Friday, and I think we need to set the tribe up for the first day of spring by putting a funny SPRING in our step, a laugh bounce. Naughty! https://youtu.be/hUeN6LZNPVQ Reactions are just as funny as Performance: https://youtu.be/W6DmHGYy_xk […]

        A Valentine of Wild Inclusion   Dear Love Pies, Below is an excerpt from my audio book “Flaming Muse: Matchstick Tales to Ignite the Soul.” I try to post it every Valentines Day because it’s a love letter to soul: your soul, my soul, the artist soul, the tribe soul. Im posting it now because we’re experiencing a bit of Valentine energy here within the tribe, and I want you to consider Wild Inclusion. Have a read and then I’ll tell you more at the bottom of the post. *********************** Late last night, as the minute […]
