My Womanifesto

Bliss Ripple is a catalog of clues— fieldnotes for living into one’s internal bliss. Compiled through the creative works of poet, artist, musician, and mama Maggie A. Bishop, Bliss Ripple explores the idea of resounding joy— how to create it and expand it through living with passionate honesty.

Here you will find poems, songs, and observations written under the influence of inspiration Maggie finds scuttling and searching amidst the varied Missouri landscape with her wonder-son, adventurer Arlo, and her artist-partner and dream confidant Josh (who is also a photographer and music promoter).

Mentor Wanted,

Yesterday I was sitting at work and the thought came into my head, "I would really love to have a mentor." So I twitter'd it:And today, I've been thinking about it, predominately.
This day is not so great.

  • A. My period started, which leaves me physically in pain, and emotionally volatile. It sucks the energy right out of me, energy which is usually pretty iffy to begin with (I don't know what my problem is, I have so little energy here lately and its summertime!)
  • B. We have scads of company coming this weekend and I ultimately wanted to use that as motivation to get the house in shape. Sadly, all is not going as I planned and now guilt is sucking what enthusiasm I had right out of me.
  • C. Basically, right now everything just feels like shit.
So, I decided to write out what I would love to have in a mentor:
  1. Strong feminist
  2. Spiritual
  3. Hippie
  4. Artist
  5. Someone who is able to pull me out, and help me see who I truly am.
