My Life Will Be In Poems

My life will be in poems. The whole way- beginning to end, writing a page a day. The creases and lines in the smile of the passerby, the swing by the lake, the tool box under the stairs I reach to take. I came here in a fever dream- inspired to be in humanity Now […]

New Age Spirituality

Hi welcome to spirituality- Have you always been generally fit- but now you’re taking it to a new level? Have you included breathwork and perhaps even meditation? Are you growing your hair out? Do you look the part more than play it? I have nothing against self-betterment, clearly seeing, and connecting to the senses. Perhaps […]

The Real Detox

Do detox things and think detox thoughts. OR Just do the real detox which isn’t what you perceive as detox at all- feeling and releasing emotions stored in the body facing the version of self that we ignore and push away self-reflection of life, childhood, until there is only gratitude. This is how you “heal” […]

I’m Staying Here

The birds, bees and eyes of people that still swoop and land on me. Delighting. I know there must be something in my energy. In my energy field Love and light I had to integrate through long nights of suffering and self betrayal I’m not going anywhere now Unless it’s expansive and renowned I’m up […]

A Bit of My Story and How I Got Into Holistic Wellness

I grew up reading my parents medical textbooks and learning from them what would occur in their careers as registered nurses at numerous hospitals- working different floors and specializing in different areas of care. It wasn’t until much later that I started to realize the dysfunction within the medical system and began pursuing what felt […]

Adriana

I’ve spent most of my life correcting the pronunciation of my name. Maybe because it has a Portuguese or Spanish pronunciation and I look European or Canadian people assume it’s “Ay-dree-ana” when in reality it’s “AH-dri-ana”. I grew up with a framed script in the hallway outside my bedroom that had been given to my […]

You Can Suck At Your Hobbies

I love art. Music, photography, aesthetics, storytelling… and being inspired by each. Now it seems to simple to pursue a life of art- openly and authentically. I try to recall why it wasn’t always so obvious, but then I remember- in terms of careers- art wasn’t respected when I was growing up. Well, it was […]

It’s Not Supposed To Be Comfortable

The process is beautiful. But the day to day within it is not. It’s a mix of absolutely everything and all the duality of life and there’s no avoiding it- nor should we seek to. Instead, we build a deep connection to self and a strong inner knowing of who we are, and our inherent […]

Family Matters Pt. 3

Sometimes being in a human body is too much for me. The bones and flesh feel like a responsibility- and I worry about doing it all wrong. Sometimes being in a human body is too much for me and I don’t even know. I disassociate, and not even know. The reassociation is like the first […]

Launch Day

Launch day. It’s something I can’t avoid anymore. It’s funny how many times I’ve been faced with the question- “but can you?” “But can you help people?” “But can you say that? Or what about this?” I already do. I already do speak my truth and help others. I’ve been the doing the things I […]
