For the past few weeks I have been feeling very activated… and I know this because of some tell-tale signs: All signs of an overstimulated nervous system. Over the past few years I have healed deeper levels within my life, and because of this I have built much bigger capacity. And somewhere along the line, […]

The elements of Summer are upon us… As a child, I LOVED Summer.  The way the days stretch out like taffy.  The lighted evenings.  Picking fresh berries… knowing that so many more make it into the mouth and tummy than the bucket.  And my favorite of all- being in and near water. As a season, […]

Status and belonging. For most of us, this is not an innate felt sense. Many of us were not taught that we belong… just purely through BE-ing. Throughout childhood, I saw belonging not only as something that needed to be earned- but a tenuous gift that could be taken away at any given moment. When […]

My mom and I have this running joke where we refer to our dining rooms as the “shipping and receiving room”. It’s funny… because it’s brutally honest. When Mr. Bezos launched his penis-shaped rocket into the sky, there was a part of me that thought: “I definitely helped fund that…” And as much as I […]

How many times have you said yes to commitments, people, and tasks… that you really didn’t want to? How often have you doled out your yes like confetti?  I picture memes of Oprah during a great give-away: “YOU get a yes! And YOU get a yes!” It’s laughable in a way, right? But it’s that […]

Peace. There is a lot of unrest happening right now. Locally and globally. To call it unsettling, is a vast understatement. And then there’s the inner world of unrealistic and perfectionistic standards, expectations, and comparisons. Peace is just not something that comes easy. Many of us have lost aspects of ourselves chasing external pursuits.  And […]

It’s interesting to me that some of the simplest concepts… ones we learned in our pre-school years… are difficult to implement in the adult-world. The biggest one of all, being self-love.  The other day, I found myself having an insecure moment while I was listening to a musical group that I truly enjoy. A group […]

I have spent most of my life gauging my worth, my acceptance, and my value on external sources.  Getting caught up in the trappings of the energetic hamster wheel within my very own mind: “Am I doing this right? Am I okay?” Am I enough?” In truthful reflection, I believe most of my insecurities were […]

Last week, I read the poem “Ancestors Never Sleep” in a book by Alice Walker.  It was in the midst of hearing bad news upon bad news.  Many of our dear friends are in the depths of suffering and hardships.  Of deep pain. Much of the world feels the same. I have been holding a […]

I have been successfully wintering over the past few months. Turning inward and tending. Enjoying moments of quiet. In the last few days I have felt a stirring. I can sense that the energy within me is now ready to move again. I am beginning to move my body more intentionally again, and I am […]
