Rev Up Your Mojo By Living In Wonder

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." -- Albert Einstein

Of all the things my children were blessed with, curiosity is certainly the trait that brings home the prize. They never tire of asking questions, and charge everything with a genuine interest to learn something new at every turn.

Is a Leap of Faith a Rite of Passage for True Bliss?



When I was invited to be on View From the Bay, a San Francisco talk show, they want me to talk about how life’s too short not to take risks. (We didn't actually get around to talking about that, but that's a whole other blog post!) Turns out I’m an expert at taking leaps of faith, with all the Pleaping (pink leap of faithing) I’ve done in the past four years. So really, I know what I’m talking about.

How Owning Pink Can Help You Get Your Mojo Back



Hiya, Pinkies. I've been getting lots of inquiries - especially on Twitter - asking what Owning Pink is all about. What's the story? Why Pink? What is Mojo? How can Owning Pink help me? I realized that while there are stories and snippets here and there on the site, the whole shebang isn't in one place. And so, without further ado, here is the story about how I lost and found my Mojo, and decided it was time for me - and for all of us - to start Owning Pink.

Set Yourself Free By Telling Your Truth



It breaks my heart that Sex and The City ended. For nearly a decade, I could pretend that women really do gather together over Cosmos, talking about sex, career, relationships, and the meaning of life according to Carrie Bradshaw, all while decked out in Manolo Blahniks and sporting styling haircuts, both cranial and pubic.

Resurrecting YOU This Easter



For those of you who believe that Jesus Christ arose from the dead today (or to those who just love the Easter Bunny), Happy Easter! To the Pinkie Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and anyone who refers to the Universe some other way, happy Spring Sunday!

Life's Too Short Not To Take Risks

My fearless Pleaping 4 year old Siena (if she can Pleap, so can you!)



Today, I’m going to be on television for the first time (View From the Bay, ABC TV in San Francisco at 3pm PST!) Thing is, I hate cameras. But it’s all in service to my mission. I believe that my work- Owning Pink, my book, the Owning Pink Center- is like air for a world that is suffocating. We have been so stifled by trying to put ourselves in boxes that don’t fit that we have forgotten how to breathe. We have beaten ourselves up and suffered in silence. We have settled for living lives that are less than vital. We have isolated ourselves so that we feel completely alone in our struggle to be free. I believe it doesn’t have to be this way. I believe- together, with Divine guidance, we can change the world (no biggie). When you boil it down, I believe in YOU.

A Return To Love- A Lesson in Surrender

 

"Give Love," artwork by Rita Loyd (c) 2002

 

I’m reading Marianne Williamson’s A Return To Love for the first time (and with each word I read, am questioning how my spirit would have allowed me to go so long without this book). I’m sure a gazillion posts are going to be born from my reading of it. However, I’ve just encountered the first moment of truth so intense that it compelled me to put the book down, march inside on this gorgeous day, and write down my thoughts.
