    Broken to Beautiful

    I have this gorgeous little tea set that my son gifted me with years ago. One of the sweet little cups suffered a catastrophic break, and I couldn’t part with it. I glued the pieces back in place, and held onto it for years. It traveled with me through 3 moves, and when I settled in here I knew I wanted to do something special with it. Adopting (and adapting) the tradition of Kintsugi, I wanted to elevate its cracks and imperfections, so that my once broken little cup could live on as a whole vessel, a visual reminder that…

    Lessons from the Kitchen

    One of my favorite things about our new house (besides everything!) is the luxury of having a nice big open kitchen. I LOVE to cook, and bake, and get creative with food. The washing and chopping is a Meditation. The interplay of textures and flavors is Alchemy. The successes are glorious, and failures? Often quite spectacular. Life lessons abound. Sometimes, still, though not nearly as often as when I first started cooking as a young girl- my culinary disasters are so embarrassing that I cry and rage and sulk, angrily dumping the mess in the trash with SUCH scorn for…

    Amazed and Grateful

    OMG. She’s almost ready! We took another sneak peek yesterday of our house and so much more has been done. The sweet brick motor court is completed. Exterior is 95%. And inside, oh, my… I cannot wait to share what’s going on inside. It’s Beautiful. —— I am amazed and so very grateful for the life I have, and the Joy that I am a co-creatrix of. In my 20’s, my life was such a story of pain and struggle and desperately seeking to escape my suffering. It was a broken heart and a battered body. It was fear and…

    I’ve Been Thinking

    Dear Universe: I’ve been #Thinking about more ways to share my Love with you. With your people. With your creatures. Through individual efforts and as part of the collective, sharing from my creative gifts that you’ve blessed me with and amplifying the good work of others who are moving in the same direction, with good intention, to foster healing for myself and for us all. 💖 I am not entirely sure what it will look like, but I know it is something powerful and needed. A community of healers, healing their own pain and sharing their gifts with a waiting…

    The Self-Care Sessions: Part 5- DEAR FEAR

    Next in my series of gentle meditations, I talk with Fear. “Dear Fear, Thank You for always trying to protect me. Please forgive me for giving you too much power. I have heard you, and now you may go. I will call you back when I need you. I love you.” Fear has an important place in our lives, but that place does not include having total control over us. Fear deserves a seat at the table. Fear is allowed to come along with you on your journey- it’s coming anyway so welcome it in a healthy way! Fear, given…

    The Self-Care Sessions: Part 4- DEAR HEART

    Next up in my series of gentle meditations for/prayers to my Body, I spent some time soothing the wounds of my heart. “Dear Heart, Thank You for being soft and open, again and again. Please forgive me for trusting you to people who weren’t ready for you. Let’s find another soul to Love. I love you.” I keep doing my work to heal the wounds inside, and remove the blocks as they surface, because the reason I am on this planet is to be a living expression of Love and experience that Love in all its fullness. Five years ago,…

    The Self-Care Sessions: Part 2 DEAR PAIN

    Loves, up next in my series of gentle meditations for/prayers to my body, I have a word with Pain: “Dear Pain, Thank You for teaching me to listen to my body. Please forgive me for ignoring you and trying to numb you away. I am listening now. I love you.” Pain is just another wise teacher that we encounter throughout this Life. Often misunderstood, manipulated, feared, even hated- but ever valuable to our brief experience on this planet. Take the time to follow your pain to its root, deep in the soul, and ask, “What would you have me learn?…

    A Moment of Truth

    Want a peek behind the veil? Today I had a moment of truth and clarity that froze me in my tracks. My cousin Nicole and I were in the midst of recording an episode for our podcast, and something we were talking about triggered a powerful message. I went blank as the divine download was coming in, and couldn’t speak in the moment. I held on, breathed through it, and waited until I could continue our conversation. It was deep, y’all! I knew I would need some time to process what was happening inside me, and gave myself the immediate…

    #MondayMantra Create Your Own Magic

    The ancient alchemists were always searching for ways to create gold, cure diseases, and harness eternal life. They were all about the science of making magic. Today, we discover gold in our deepest relationships, cure ourselves through healing the soul’s wounds, and embrace eternity by seeing the pure, beautiful truth of our essence. We are the modern-day alchemists. We gave up trying to fit in, because we were born to belong amongst the dreamers and the doers. We shine light on our dark places and banish their shame with our love. We heal our hearts, and we send a ripple…
