After all the craziness that’s been going on in the world over the past few months, I can’t help but want to let go of it all and return to my center. I think it’s time for me to reflect and review what it is I want to focus on. Though it can be an ego-trip to satisfy my need to know what is happening in the outside world at all times in order to […]
On Wearing A Mask and Giving Our Power Away
I came across a post about why it is important to wear masks. Why wouldn’t you want to wear a mask if you know it will save other people? I couldn’t help myself to respond because, well, there is just too much to say in response to this. Unfortunately, my response was triggered and it didn’t come off as I wanted it to in the moment. So I decided to write it as best I […]
The Magic of Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice has arrived, and with it comes the darkest night of the year. Something magical happens when there is less light to guide us; we usher in our own guidance to lead the way. The solstice marks the transition back to light, but also in a sense is only the beginning of Winter. This time of year is a time of introspection. It is one of intuition and discovering our selves.

Some days I’d have the inspiration to write an article, but then be too meticulous about how it reads and scrap it. Other days I’d take a picture of a pretty plate of food with the intention of publishing it somewhere, but then get caught up in the […]
Be Here Now
As I sit outside sipping my coffee with coconut cream on this beautiful fall equinox, I realize something: Life is truly something extraordinary. It is wonder and beauty and love all in one. And we get to be part of it all; growing and changing, learning and adapting. If we can just let things flow, without trying to alter or skew anything, we can see how effortlessly it all works out. Days like today are […]
Life Lessons from A Cat
Watching my cat as she sleeps so soundly next to me, teaches me about rest. Take time to give herself deep rest. Not quite asleep, but laying silently still. The steady breathing in and out. There is no need to force the breath, but just allow it to happen. Effortlessly and elegantly. The rumble of her purring as it heals her soul reminds me about healing. She teaches me that my body is a self-healing […]
