Happy Six Month Birthday to SANCTUARY!

The average book sells 250 copies. Over its whole life. That’s it. The number is smaller for independent authors like me … often closer to 100. Even for authors who work with the five big publishers (yup, five corporations decide what you read), only 250 books are sold in the first year.

And in her first six months, my book has surpassed all those markers.

I am so grateful to my friends and family who showed up early in the game, to my reviewers who helped me get the word out, to the bookstores and markets that have carried this niche novel, and to all of my readers who made SANCTUARY part of your life. Thank you so much for making my dreams come true. 🤍

A reminder that you can hold both softness and rage as we navigate this time of upheaval. You do not need to choose. And you shouldn’t.

With thanks to and for the inspiration (because I have had to unfollow A LOT of homestead creators lately … make sure the people you give your energy to are the right ones).

What world would you create?

Bad enough to relive it as the facts are released.

So much worse to have no one do a damn thing about it.

So if you are feeling angry, unsafe, deeply depressed, trapped, incapable of taking a single breath let alone going on with your life …

Take a second. Inhale. Exhale. Slowly. Deliberately. Because you are in your body, and you are safe, and you are not there now. We are here. And we can turn that rage into action, when you are ready. You are strong. We need your strength.

Treat yourself so, so gently today, and in the days that follow. My DMs are open if you need someone to listen.

May every name in that file burn on the fire of patriarchy as we banish it from existence.

These are your reminders that you need to prep today to make a statement tomorrow, in the only language they understand.

I know money is tight for a lot of us. They’re counting on that. But for those who can manage to stay home - stay home. For those who still need to work, shop today instead. Do what you can, but do something.

You do not need that latte. You do not need to order takeout. You do not need to binge watch Heated Rivalry. Remove corporations from your life for 24 hours. You decide their future. Not the other way around.

You are powerful, and you can stand up for what is right.

I wrote this earlier today, because I knew what was going to happen. It is an established pattern of this presidency to throw someone under the bus and pretend like that makes the whole issue go away. We’ve taken care of the chaos, they tell us. No more problem, they tell us. So the outrage dies down. For a while.

Until the next bat-sh*t crazy thing he does.

Our job was never to stop the vile creature that is Greg Bovino. Our problem wasn’t Greg. The problem is the mass army of monsters that we have created, who clearly enjoy killing regardless of who is leading them. The problem is a commander and chief who is bent on fear and cruelty and division. The problem is that all of our checks and balances in this nation, all of our oversight, is clearly not working. That is the problem.

He’s playing to your ego and your ignorance. And if we give in, we teach him that he can get away with it. Again and again.

This is a win. It is not the win. We have to keep our voices loud. We have to keep calling and writing and resisting. Because I promise you this is not the end. This is only the beginning. And this will all happen again.

This is my favorite book.

I read it in the eighth grade, all 800 pages of religion and politics, r**e and lust. I walked around middle school hugging it to my chest like a shield, absorbing the story of Morgaine again and again. A priestess, and a normal girl. One who could See the changing future, though her knowledge could not protect her. It formed me, gave me my pathway to a pagan life and eventually to Avalon herself, and kept me cautious when I stood in the world of men. Because the story was true.

I see this story now.

I see the cries of women being belittled, ignored. Men thumping around fields of power, jockeying for place, ignoring the needs of the people. Once, the land had been their religion, too. Their goddess. But they turned from this womanly deity because to look her in the eye would have brought unbearable shame. So instead they turned to a masculine god who existed far away in the sky, whose words they could twist to suit their purpose. And they went forward, defiling the magic that had set them where they were, interested in nothing more than acquiring the goddess in pieces and draining her of life.

This is the story we are living. And we won’t like the way it ends.

Tell me a story that showed you the future, and how we could change the narrative.

This is your timeline cleanse.

We are now in the space between grieving and creating. We have to gather our energy back and remember our vision. If you don’t have one, get inspired. Because you have the power to decide the next chapter of your story.

Let go of what’s gone. You need all your strength for what’s coming. The birth of something new is imminent.

(PS - Dr. Bronner’s label is an easy first stop for envisioning a better world! Read that hippie goodness and remember that we can be better than this.)

Sisters, this is how we give our power away.

It wasn’t magic, or the universe, or an all-powerful being that brought your dreams to fruition. Those things may have given you opportunity, or ability. But YOU completed the task. YOU put in the time, the effort. The work. And every time women erase our work, we make it easier for the patriarchy to erase us entirely.

So whatever you accomplished, take credit. Loudly. You deserve it. And you pave the way for other women to own their greatness, too.

This week, the world fell apart for me.

Not to say that it won’t continue, or get worse, but I very clearly saw the break. The point of no return. And it was across so many facets of life at once that the stark reality of impending death was too much for many of us.

But we are still here.

And while we must continue to be present in this timeline, it is time to start considering the next one.

When one world falls, another takes it place. We decide. As individuals and as a society. We decide with our choices. We decide with our intentions. We decide with the way we live. Each of us has to do our part, but enough folks living the same dream makes a community. So I started one for my dream, and if it’s yours, let’s talk about it.

Billionaires will continue their quest for greed. Some will blindly follow. But for those waking up to the need for an aligned life, a smaller community, a corporate-free environment, and a central promise to steward the earth - we’re building sanctuary here. Welcome home.
