Liberating Links

Happy 2012 VOLVER readers!

I hope this email finds you beaming over the most beautiful desire list for 2012. I wrote mine yesterday and I am abuzz from all the amazingness my soul loves.

Since I am constantly reading crazy-cool stuff online, I wanted to salute you into 2012 with some hot links that I feel liberate us to be more of who we truly are.

The magnificent Julie Wray sent out the best post for digesting 2011. A must contemplation.

Elizabeths Gilbert’s TED Talk on creativity is revolutionary (not to mention validating.)

All of my musings on saying “sorry” inspired this courageous gent to write Screw John Wayne: The Art of Apologizing. (Warning: If you are invested in right and wrong thinking, don’t read this article. If you are invested in compassionate relationships and the power of response ability, then definitely check it out.) I have to say that getting right on wrong has made the word “sorry” the biggest win-win in my life.

I believe we are all living this post by Kate Northrup: It’s not going to turn out how you thought. So true. If we would only get out of the way … it’s really going to be better.

Gratitude is Not a Should by The Organic Sister. I was just pondering how gratitude flowed through my heart after a good cry when I found this exquisite post.

I LOVED this Tanya Geisler interview with the always inspiring Danielle LaPorte. One of her best.

It seems my most popular posts this year were An Arsenal of Feminine Power and When Gratitude is Bullshit. However, it turns out my most tweeted article was The Sexual Limits of a Sex Positive World which I spontaneously wrote in 20 minutes after I Googled “sex positive”. I am delighted that it has been a helpful redefinition for so many.

My favorite quotes this year came from Nicole Daedone: “Your desires may not lead to what you want but they will never lead you astray.” Sing it, Nicole. And I have to say that Nicole’s work has had the greatest positive influence on my life in 2011. Thank you, Nicole.

And from Mama Gena: “A woman who owns her [sensuality], owns her life.” (Though you know what she really said.) The truth of this statement makes my head spin with new realities for the world.

Here’s to 2012! May it be filled with true genius, appreciation, sensuality and desires that unfurl better than we ever could imagine.

Love,
Dara
