I meditated the other day and asked whatever Universal Awareness is out there to bring me insight. Nothing is particularly wrong with life in this present moment, but there is just a feeling of being unsettled. Like knowing that a sink-full of dishes needs to be done or that a pile of laundry has accumulated … Continue reading Growing A Garden- Cultivating the Inner Experience

One Word After Another.
I’m here. I understand the entire point of me being here is to experience, explore, and be so curious about what is happening around, and what it inspires within, me. I got a perfect new pen and it is beautiful. It is the type of small gift to myself that changes my entire experience. I … Continue reading One Word After Another.
Accepting Destiny.
I’m destined to meet who I'm destined to meet. I’m destined to complete what I’m destined to complete. I’m destined to create what I’m destined to create. I’m destined to intend what I’m destined to intend. I’m destined to connect to what I’m destined to connect. I’m destined to move at the speed I'm destined … Continue reading Accepting Destiny.

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.

I am feeling restrained by mindfulness this morning. My desire to do *everything* is flared. But this nagging feeling comes in: ‘remember mindfulness, remember this body, embody a regulated nervous system.’ I rebel. I feel this desperate urge to MOVE, to DO, to PRODUCE, to ACHIEVE, and even at this moment, to WRITE. It is … Continue reading To Do or To Untangle.
Technique.
- I write differently. - I tend to write sentences that are more a statement of my truth rather than points to be argued. - I write sentences as a list that I shift and reorder over and over until it congeals into a cohesive piece. - My sentences are often numbered- but not today. … Continue reading Technique.
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.
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.
Perfect.
There are times where I am so tired. I am weary from being afraid and feeling imperfect. I get pinned underneath the weight of my stories. It's in this place, when I get good and quiet, that I encounter a feeling... The desperation eases and I feel hope. It's a whisper, to be sure. But … Continue reading Perfect.
