I get a wild energetic rush when an idea starts to coalesce- when serendipity comes along to whisper yes yes, or to open a door I did not even know was there… I stay up late, head swirling with ideas, an almost unstoppable flow– ideas and ideas and ideas, visions, imaginings, possibilities… then a few… Read More
you are beautiful, just as you are yes, with all of your notches and nicks, the rust and worn spots that come from living yes, with the unapologetic weight of your purpose yes, because of all that you’ve received and all that you’ve offered each blow, each act of creation and transformation, resonant, right now,… Read More
tonight I invite you to join me in the i-don’t-know-what-to-say breath. words aren’t coming tonight, so instead, mindfulness, awareness of breath if I am quiet enough, I notice sounds like water flowing over rocks, or the million collisions of sand moving under ocean waves or like a light breeze over tall grasses Share This:
