As we ease into the slowness and restfulness of winter- nature invites us to follow its cue. But reducing the to-do’s can feel impossible in today’s world and economy. We can still honor winter and

I do not see myself seperate from the cycles of nature. Everything is love. The way we- humans and animals- nurture our families. How we hunt and kill to feed them. Nourishment is love. A

If you haven’t pushed your sore and aching body and mind into meditation or morning sunlight – or better yet, both, at the same time… Do you even want to heal? Have you ever considered

I find myself on an upswing- a rare current of inner trust and devotion. Swung onto my knees screaming collective energy out of me. Back into the streets, out the balcony door- burning Palo Santo

A Reflection During Saturn’s Final Return. Memories of 2017-2019 have revisited, flashing quickly across my mind’s eye, seemingly from nowhere. I’m pretty sure I only have one month left in my Saturn return. Perhaps that’s

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The brain is likes a series of rivers (neuropathways). The more we go to a river- the harder it is to go to another one. It’s not impossible. But it is by no means an

It’s funny because this is something I just realized… I may always carry the ability to experience trauma response. It may never go away. What fooled me was coming back into my body after years

Challenging & Surrendering Identity To Cultivate Authenticity I see how myself and a few others have been queued at an energetic standstill- called to leave behind everything that doesn’t work in exchange for what does.

Go Within The world will tell a breath guide how to breathe, the life coach how to live, the poet that it has to be hard and unartistic, the traumatized that they just need to

An intuitive list interwoven with Buddhist wisdom- 1) Know it is the highest act of love and consciousness you do for yourself and others. “being able to forgive ourselves is necessary for self-acceptance, which is

Is she dramatic or is she unseen? Is she descriptive or is she well-practiced in explaining herself where she doesn’t need to? I’d rather love people and understand the things behind them that makes them

I haven’t typed a journal entry in awhile. But my hope in doing it this way is to capture some of the helpful things I’ve integrated into my life to support autism and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. 

Stop explaining yourself. For a few days, weeks, even months basking in the absence of it, if you can. See the difference in your personal peace and how you carry yourself. Observe how your internal

I don’t trust society anymore. I can’t delude myself into thinking the people around me know what’s best for me, themselves, or anything at all for that matter.   The men I’ve met are seriously
