Will I remember this morning and all of its non-silence? The birds, the hum of traffic in the distance, the dripping of the water condensing on everything? Will I remember the cool humidity? The way the air felt heavy and full of nourishment with all of its spring-time scent and moisture? Will I remember the … Continue reading Will I Remember?

Antidote
My antidote to being frenetic indoors is to sit in stillness outdoors. Barely well enough dressed for conditions and sitting with as much direct contact with the ground as possible. With a cup of coffee. I sit and stay in that minor discomfort for as long as possible. The act solves unsolvable problems and it … Continue reading Antidote
New Year’s Eve.
It’s new years eve and I am feeling unprepared. I feel like I should have done more to set up for this moment of shift into 2024. I’ve never had a transformative year like 2023 in the past, but I still don’t feel like I’ve done enough to move forward with the care and attention … Continue reading New Year’s Eve.
Words.
If we understood how profound the energy behind our words was, how those words impact every molecule and void in existence, would we speak the way we do? Would we say less? Would we say more? Words have no solidity, but they are brimming with potential- they inspire action which can alchemize any particle.
Elements & Setting.
Where do I feel most comfortably situated? Some will never ask. How does this place, this moment, feel in my body? I find myself asking constantly. I feel the best along the shores of large bodies of water. I feel the worst next to a fire. I feel ethereal upon mountain tops. I feel crushed … Continue reading Elements & Setting.

Conditional Unconditional Love.
I had a rough night with my daughter who was coughing and sick. She was up much too late/early in that groggy middle of the night time. At one point, too tired to sleep and too likely to be woken up again soon, I sat in meditation. I went to sit in my carefully curated … Continue reading Conditional Unconditional Love.
Spring Refresh.
I’ve been contemplating Imagination. For many reasons, Spring is when I feel drawn to explore this concept. In the past I have found this framework helpful for my situation and I would like to share it in the hopes that it might help someone else as well. Imagination from a place of Nervous System Regulation … Continue reading Spring Refresh.
Seeds.
All desires are seeds that we plant with one of two things: Deliberate awareness of what we would like to happen, or with the unexamined patterns of our day-to-day lives. Do you like where you're at and what surrounds you in this present moment? You might be! But if you're at all curious about how … Continue reading Seeds.
Changes.
September is here. School is back on. Autumn is 3 weeks away. This has always been a time of change for me. I've found myself so dysregulated lately, the last week particularly, and I have seen it as another opportunity to explore. Why am I so stressed out? My daughter is going back to school. … Continue reading Changes.
