I know I learned somewhere along the line, that a person can become a band aid for past hurts and wounds. Unintentionally, it's the place from which I used to seek out relationships - gravitating toward people that made me feel better about myself, or made me feel protected; but perhaps not seeing those people [...]
I'm prepping for tonight's Full Moon Circle - we'll be making aromatherapy "potions"! We have a Super Moon (characterized as such because of how close the moon is to earth) in Pisces. And this lunation is perfect for releasing, particularly with an emphasis on old grief, that which has "died," and moving on to the [...]
Started some kombucha brewing today with my one of my bestie! It's possible to create your own scoby (the active culture or "mother" that turns tea and sugar into kombucha) using a bottle of store bought kombucha. I haven't made kombucha in several years as I'd been avoiding fermented foods. But as my bank account [...]
There are often times when something bothers me and I shrug it off, saying "it doesn't matter" when it actually does...because if it truly didn't matter, there would be no need to reinforce my indifference.

This is my super excited face about being up at 5am this morning and on my way to Santa Monica to teach Reiki 1 to a beautiful group of women! It's also 8–8-2015 which Numerologically translates to 8–8-8 and is known as passing through the lion's gate. Channeled by Shanta Gabriel: " “This year offers [...]
Sometimes your sissy sends you a card in the mail and it couldn't be more perfect. I don't think it's entirely intentional that social media has become a highlight reel, but I do feel we've lost the depth of honesty that comes in all the layers of the human experience when we just talk about [...]
PUBLISHED ON ELEPHANT JOURNAL Sometimes it’s easy to forget that he’s dying. Or rather, perhaps, it’s hard to remember that, some day soon, he won’t be alive. You’d think that the reminders would be in each moment I walk with him, as his friend and as his caregiver. Getting up multiple times in the middle [...]
