I Meet My Greatest Teacher

(This is the second post in the Star Polisher Authentic Power Series.  The first post was The Leap into Power.) I met a woman years ago whom I’ve never been able to forget.  She might have been my greatest teacher, even though we didn’t exchange more than a few words, and I never saw her [...]

Bulletin Board Bombast

I’m a member of one of those online local community bulletin boards.  What a comment those bulletin boards are on our society – good and bad. Consumerism is rampant in my little town.  Most of the bulletin board entries are about wanting to buy or sell something.  Who knew it took so much stuff just [...]

The Leap into Power

This post is dedicated, with gratitude, to Theresa Reed and Margie Perrier.   I’m a writer and polisher of stars. It’s not just what I do. It’s who I am. It’s sacred work. I’ve known that from the get go, and I’ve treated my work accordingly. Or have I? The truth is I haven’t given my work (or [...]

Compassion & Community

I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area, and the coast of New Jersey played a pivotal role in my life.  Some of my fondest memories from my childhood are of times spent at The Shore. There were shared summer vacations at the Joneses home, a short block from the beach in Avalon.  That’s [...]

Star Polishing 101

If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that you are a star.  You were born a star, and you will die a star.  It is who you are – your divine identity.  And nobody can change that – including you! But what you can change is how brightly or dimly your star shines.  [...]

The Kindness of Strangers

Every weekday morning, I start my day by working out in the local YMCA pool. I never in a million years thought I would get up at the ungodly hour of 5 am to do such a thing. I also never thought in a million years I would come to enjoy it so much. Yes, [...]

The Muse & Carol Have a Fight

Why?  Why does the Muse always choose the days I know exactly what I want to write about to tap me on the shoulder and say, “I don’t think so, Carol.  Today you’re going to write what I want you to write.” I mean I’m all for cooperating with the Muse.  There’s all hell to [...]

The Time Has Come — Part 2

In my last blog post, I talked about the transformational shift that’s occurring on our planet right now.  We are being asked to let go of our old ways and surrender to the new – a new that has not yet made itself felt or seen except to a few.  A new that will lead [...]

Season to Taste

I’m not a fan of balance and moderation.  Give me off-kilter and extreme every time.  I’m not wired for a careful, middle-of-the-road kind of life.  I tried it once and had to smoke way too many cigarettes and drink way too much booze to keep my bus straddling the yellow line. Gusto, passion, joy, bliss.  [...]
