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.

The Fear of Showing up Imperfectly.
I know that there is so much messaging out there about making sure your work is perfectly aligned with your brand and what society is all about, but I would love to just propose that maybe we can all give ourselves the grace to show up imperfectly once in a while and see what happens. … Continue reading The Fear of Showing up Imperfectly.
It is ok to feel peaceful.
That’s it. That’s the message for today. You can feel good. You can feel regulated and full of Awareness and full of the joyful calm that comes from knowing that you are an integral aspect of your Universe. The state of regulated Awareness is in contrast to Survival Ego- which is that panicky place that … Continue reading It is ok to feel peaceful.
The Present Moment
"The Present MomentNothing missing. Nothing extra. Simultaneously nothing and everything."Twitter post 25 October 2021 I've been exploring some aspects of my Universe lately.

Experience.
I cut my hair a while ago. Like, months ago. And I've known since it was happening that it was a mistake.

Self-Discipline.
I've struggled with routine and self-discipline for much of my life. I was often reminded of it by the people around me. Lazy. Absent-minded. Forgetful. Scatter-brained. Irresponsible. Undisciplined. At the end of the day undisciplined is probably the best descriptor of what was going on. Discipline for me evokes ideas of tasks that are militant, … Continue reading Self-Discipline.

Nurture.
Nurture yourself like you would nurture a plant. It's been a while since I've sat down to type up a pondering post but, here I am. I've been in a bit of a weird place lately. One that's felt familiar... always the same, yet always uncomfortable. In my life I find myself oscillating between feeling … Continue reading Nurture.
How Can I Best Show Up?
When you show up for something consistently, the activity becomes a comfortable place to be and space for expansion and wonder.

Currently I have a journaling … Continue reading How Can I Best Show Up?
