The Gift of a Pandemic
One of the greatest things my father gave me was my work ethic. Well, I say "gave" but it was more of an observation. An embedded belief that if you want to support your family, the way to do it is to work yourself to death. While March does mark the anniversary of his passing, with the timeline of the pandemic and the transitions it has brought
Since Grandma had a baby…
From the moment you announced your pregnancy, you have received advice from aunts, sisters, friends, strangers in the grocery line and most importantly
Finding my self in the heap
Something is going on. I have felt it for a long time. I finally decided to do something about it, but instead of turning inside
Revelations and Evolutions…
We all need support. We all have our days of feeling like we are alone in the world. Often times we look at other people's lives and we think, "Wow, they really have it together." I get that a lot. People often remark at how they think I have all my ducks in a row and that I have created this perfect existence
Be Your Own Knight in Shining Light…
When I began studying naturopathic medicine
We circle.
I write this to you from a place of raw vulnerability. I am still fresh from the experience and so I write to you. I write to get out of my head. To put it into an existence other than my own.

Angels Within Us
Do you ever sit around and think about angels? Really? Do they exist? Who are they? Today I wondered, "Do angels have to bargain?

Who is to thank for that? Did he have a guardian
Letting It All Go…
I was recently contemplating a stressful situation. As I was reliving conversations (or imagining them in my head) I just overheard myself say to myself, "Those were my emotional years". What is wrong with the emotional years? Is it just because I have some extra hormones laying around from my pregnancies or that I'm inching my way closer to menopause. What is it that makes us so afraid to
Touching Justin Timberlake (and other spiritual stories). Oh..and a give away!
I was introduced to vision boards when I was about thirteen. It was the most magical concept I could have ever been introduced to. This friend of my mother's told me how if I cut out pictures and words and paste them into a journal or notebook, and looked at this and felt the emotions and feelings that were created from this collage, that I could have
Can You Feel with Your Elbow?
I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine
