This self quarantine we’re all going through offered me an opportunity for continued growth tonight. As I went to reach for my ukulele to practice, and clear and calm my mind with it’s meditative focus, my husband was keeping busy with household projects. As my body and soul felt strongly that this is what I needed in this moment, my mind went to ‘I should be doing something busy too. What should I do? What should I accomplish?’ However, that is actually how picking up ...

Seasons of Change: A Reflection of Life My computer has been ‘acting up,’ so today I worked on clearing some things off it to a hard drive in case it crashes, and I came across this writing I did in November, still waiting on my computer to be shared (like many of others). May it inspire you, as it once again did me. —– This morning I felt called to my now seasonably cold pond-side studio to meditate. Surrounded by my shells from my previous expression, and words from my ...

I look in the mirrorand I see a young girlbehind the lines, spots, scars and poresShe is patient, but tiringfor she knows this brief hourisn’t infiniteWhen will we? she askstake on those big dreams?When will we? she asksshare our full light?When will we? she asksbe all we came here to be?She patiently longs to be free againAnd in that reflectionwhere young reunites with oldI see meBefore question and have to be’sI see light, love and wonderPeace, play and vitalityI gaze into the ...

I took my baby shoes out of storage and placed them on my desk. Why you ask?? 1. Why do we store things? No one else will want my baby shoes for a keepsake. And if they did, it would be to place them in another box. They are something I cherish. But easily forget when they’re tucked away. So why let things sit in boxes collecting dust? 2. I love my baby shoes! They remind me of the sweet, innocent child who was pure love and believed in all things good. Having these shoes on my desk ...

I feel as if intermission just ended and I’m stepping into Act 2 of my life. Act 1 I was the actress who desired to be cast. Auditioned for what I believed the director wanted, showed up religiously for rehearsals, memorized my lines, got in wardrobe, and followed the script. I played my part, allowing my character to be shaped by the cues and other cast members. Love and validation came in the form of audience applause. I was a good girl who played my part well. Performances became ...

“You shall return to the earth as well my child. Do not cling to anything.” Divine Download/ message I received on my walk. Today I feel like releasing. A journey I’ve been on for a while. Ready to shed more and noticing the layers of resistance that surface. I was observing what I had already released and looking at the area where not long ago I found a complete snake skin upon the rocks. In this moment the message came through. A reminder of the brief gift we are given ...

Choose yourself first. How does that statement make you feel? For me, it used to feel selfish. Who are you to choose yourself first? You’re supposed to put yourself last. That’s what a ‘good’ person does, right? Those were my beliefs… up until now. Now, I choose myself first. Was it uncomfortable at first? Hell yeah! All the stories came up. I felt bad and wrong and thought I was being selfish. But what I found as I navigated through that, is freedom. Not only ...

So many of us seek to know our purpose. I confess, I am one as well. Why am I here? What am I to do? Who am I to become? But what if it was as simple as.. just being you. Who YOU are. Who you really are. Embodying the truth of your very essence. Honoring how you feel. Making choices from that place. Showing up as you. Not the face, not the mask, not the hat you have to put on to get approval. Not trying to be what other people want. Not trying to be who you think you should be. What society ...

What if Option A AND Option B were both the right choice? I recently had this message come to me, and yesterday, after listening to my coach/mentor/teacher Laura Wieck, speak about decision making, the message was there again. So this post I had paused on writing, now said ‘it’s time!’ “You can make the wrong choice and still receive what you desire.” ~Laura Wieck How freeing is that? I often get stopped at the decision point. Do I choose option A or option B? I ...

Just because it’s easy, doesn’t mean it’s not enough. I had this come up for me recently, and am seeing it come up for other’s too. So, let’s talk about this. It seems in our culture, in order for something to be enough, you have to work hard and prove yourself. If something is easy, then you’re not really trying and it’s not seen as valuable. Blood, sweat and tears, right? No pain, no gain. Why do we think we need the pain in order to gain? Why do we ...
