What is your relationship to your body?

How do I write about the bad things that happen? How do I write about sad things and not relive them? Instead, being able to process them and reflect on them, to take those nuggets of wisdom from the experience and move forward better for having lived through it. I once tried morning pages, the…

What is the vision for your future?

It’s December and I find myself in the womb of winter. The dark feminine is present everywhere, she has me reflective and contemplating life. I have spaciousness in my days and the time to reflect upon who I was at the beginning of this year, who I am now and where I am going. I…

Asking Questions as a Practice of Self Care

How do I write about the bad things that happen? How do I write about sad things and not relive them? Instead, being able to process them and reflect on them, to take those nuggets of wisdom from the experience and move forward better for having lived through it. I once tried morning pages, the…

A Lesson from the Feminine in France

After a full day on the TGV from Biarritz to Paris and Paris to Nice followed by a local train to Menton. I find myself at the easternmost end of the French Riviera, just east of Monaco and just on the border with Italy. My Airbnb was a 6 block walk from the train station…

Did I fail so I could create something that was me?

In December I had an idea, I wanted to change the format of my writing class. I have been taking this program that looks at my numerology, astrology and my Human Design to ensure that the things that I have in my life and the things that I am building toward are in alignment with who I am as a person.

I was exhausted and I was beginning to wonder what had happened to me. I had done all of the things I had been told to do, get a degree, get married and have children.

I was on a call with a friend a few weeks ago and we were talking about blog sites. She started to tell me about a blog site the whole premise of which is to allow people to capture the odd things they hear on the streets of New York. My initial response was something akin to “people actually do that?”

It’s okay but it’s not okay

It is over, the holidays, that period of time shrouded in a mountain of expectations. Expectations around how we show up, when we show up, with whom we show up. As I am positive, I am not alone in this sentiment, I wanted the holidays to be over, to be released from the expectations even though those expectations were mostly of my own making.

Freeing the Goddess

The other day I was reflecting on this last year and I was called back to a Thursday last fall, 2019, yeah that one that feels like a lifetime ago when everything felt “normal”. I was driving from my client site to the airport in the rental car of the week. This was my routine…
