Family Matters Pt.2
My dad out mowing the lawn. Me, a child, in the window, watching him my bedroom window upstairs. His blonde hair reflecting the sun- wearing a tattered and worn white shirt, and those shiny black checked soccer shorts. Maybe my childhood was so good it was traumatic. My parents- my best friends. My brother- my […]
Family Matters
It feels as though I’ve always been the obvious black sheep in my family. But now that I sit with it, breathing, I remember fitting in much better in my early youth. In fact, I was an integral part of the family. We were a carefully balanced unit. One of the most interesting things about […]
Musings of Friendships
My closest friends in life did not have this inner world. The one that I had, and saw my family members escape into, too. It’s obvious in hindsight. They built outer worlds. They still do. I’m not sure they even realized how challenging their days were. My two closest friends had often confusing and tense […]
Sacral Lessons in Love
Past relationships. I just realized that the scrutiny and analyzation of my current life did not exist in my younger years. Or, if they did, I don’t remember them. And you would think that between my high school and lost-but-slightly-graduated years would be devoid of intuition but think again. In hindsight, I definitely had some. […]
A Sacred Vision
“I am thriving. My energy is high. My connection is unwavering. To myself… To Creation. What’s the difference really?” “The veil is thin. I am strong. Resilient. Kind. Compassionate. I am thriving. I have learned lesson after lesson. My teachers have often been charming beyond belief- handsome men who have broken my heart. I’m not […]
I Love You, Thank You, Happy Birthday
I had overthought connections and friendships for so long. Suddenly, I saw only love. I don’t really know how to describe it. I’m not sure if I woke up one day with it, heard it in a Insight Timer live or meditation or received it during my own practice. Perhaps I had reached a place […]
January 19th
Thank you for creating art. Thank you for shining you light. Thank you for sharing your darkness. Thank you for existing at the same time as me- and effectively narrating and consoling my exuberant and curious youth then my confusing and disorienting journey into now. You have always made sense, even when absolutely nothing else […]
Infinite Softness
January 10th, 2022 I’m drinking coffee with Jessica Amos and friends on a Monday morning during her Open Hearts Club on Insight Timer, after a coral pink sunrise over the kitchen window where I made a nourishing meal. Jessica shares an immersive experience, pouring jewels of wisdom to be received. I jot them down, scattering […]
The Edges of Infinite Abundance
The woman I see in front of me, in the reflection of my laptop’s screen is radically different than anyone I’ve ever known. She is assured and focused. Playful. Ritualistic. Loving. Curious. Slower to respond… Softer in every response. Days have gone by filled with the true beginnings of meditation and yoga… The curious delight, […]
