Pardon our mess! We’re moving hosting providers and making some updates to the site. Any broken images will be back soon.
Thanks for your patience!
I am equal parts verbal and visual. As a writer, I write to discover what I think and what I want to release. My authority is my truth and that seems enough. I write to exist and I exist to write. As I journal and blog, I practice self-compassion, learn self-trust, and have written away much of my anxieties and reconnected with my intuition. I am now connected to a small worldwide community thanks to my writing and have been published with pride.
Setting boundaries is something I could avoid the rest of my life and be happy. I’d rather say, sure, I’ve got you. When do you need that by? Yes!!! And take your overwhelm for the red flag to say No way Hose!
You know how it feels when you’ve poured your all into something for so long that you’ve forgotten how and why? All of your creativity, control, values, thoughts, hopes, words, and creative efforts into one project, one task, and you can no longer even see all of that anymore. This is how I felt last…
We need to talk about our writing/creative efforts and lives more. Yew I’m a mom and also a writer because I write.
As a person who has an online presence and blog, I’ve taken and watched these workshops led by the leaders in the field of online leadership. Online marketing guru Seth Godin knows what it takes to succeed online and it’s formulaic. I took notes, screenshots, and saved it all in my head. But there’s always…
As I am fast approaching another birthday, I want to stand and acknowledge how this year of being 57 and honoring myself has changed me. This year had me taking back my power with a sense of entitlement and ferociousness my younger self may recognize but has forgotten. I was busily building back the self-love…
For the past 2 months, my foray into opening and writing my Substack site has brought me both hope for creating a larger community and the aching sense of being a complete beginner. Because learning curves makes us feel really stupid. And who wants to willingly walk into a situation where they feel stupid? Pas…
I’ve been dancing with my purpose for a very long time. Writing a blog consistently for 13 years seemed like I was fulfilling my purpose. And for a little while, it felt right but life interrupted me. Raising children, suffering trauma, and a general lack of self-confidence intervened, and I could do nothing more but…
Hello! I am so glad you’ve found your way to my blog at Shalavee.com! My name is Shalagh (pronounced Shay-la) and since 2011, this blog has been my home for learning my wisdom lessons and living my life creatively. This was not always my truth. Once, my unpermitted and unexpressed creativity felt like I suffered…
This year marks the 13th year of the creation Shalavee.com and I have blogged consistently monthly throughout those years. See last week’s story about beginning the blog Here. Many who were blogging before me or alongside me, have moved on from their blogs. Perhaps to a Substack account or otherwise in their careers; bloggers are…
I was so nervous when I created that fist blog post and sent it out. I had lamented over the WordPress theme. But I really needed the excuse to show up to write regularly and so my blog at Shalavee.com was born in August of 2011. I think. My daughter Fiona was born less than…
