What happens when you want to depart an already-established life to begin an entirely new one, leaving behind an enviable job and steady paycheck for the thrilling vagaries of becoming a self-employed writer? Well, tarot readers consistently pull The Fool card when giving you an oracle reading, for one thing! But how foolish is it to follow a calling towards the craft and career one feels they were meant for? Can you write a first book, get it published by mainstream New York presses, and subsequently produce another and another...until all of a sudden you have created a whole series that spans decades? Can you do so even in this day & age when the world of publishing is undergoing such change? Yes, if one is guided and tenacious enough, claims the author of the unconventional 'Gathering The Dreamcatchers' companion novels. This is the story of how the first 'dreamcatcher' came to be...

Can peace be made with one's ancestors, even after they are dead? Once upon a time my mother's fondest desire was to have a book published. Not just any book, mind you, but a beautiful volume full of wonder and sparkling imagery glittering forth with a message of hope for the world. We had similar goals, my mother and I, but came from very different generations and quite different personal experiences ... what with her being a pale, blonde immigrant of European descent, and I: a brown-skinned, native-born, POC American. We actually did not have much in common in how we chose to live out our lives, after I too became an independent adult. Nor did we necessarily agree on what should be perceived as 'inspirationally hopeful' regarding humanity's plight! Over time, this led to escalating strife. Yet here we are in 2023, with something we were able to collaborate on together - a project entitled Skating Across Thin Ice: Surviving The Times With Relationships Intact that my mother began quite awhile ago, and I recently completed - even though one of us is alive, while the other has long since passed on to greener pastures. How surprising this might seem, in an era where globally so many contemporary families and friends have become estranged from one another... But oh what an interesting weaving of ideas and personal-ancestral-Universal healing can be brought about by just such a melding of past and present minds, regarding The Future.

What exactly is "intentional community?" And how does one go about co-creating it? Are there typical hurdles to overcome? In the Green/Sustainable Living Movement, the term "community" often means folks coming together to create some form of shared home space: from co-housing co-ops in cities, to permaculture or off-the-grid nature-based country retreats...from separatist women's or people of color lands, to communities aimed at unplugging from the wider world's repressive "systems" as much as humanly possible. The illustrated, creative non-fiction account DOING INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY: Expanded 2023 Edition follows building a certain type of artistic/spiritual co-home adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii from the ground up...and how this particular, now-worldwide sense of community continues to transform today. Like a prismatic drop in the ocean, beyond just being a collection of individuals, global "intentional community" can also equate to entire villages, cities, and nations in the process of cultivating a common history and shared economic/political/spiritual goals. What is "world peace," if not that?
