The other day while waiting to order my coffee I heard a woman apologize three times for ordering decaf, which was out, meaning that the staff had to make a fresh pot. The way she carried herself and repeatedly apologized made me angry, uncomfortable, and annoyed. Her body language screamed, I am so not worth […]
Read more "Apology not accepted"Hello 2015! It is so nice to meet you. Please fill me up with happiness & allow me to love better than I’ve ever loved before. Remind me to take care of myself & to challenge myself. May I remember to honor the past & then let it go, always. I resolve to be truthful- to […]
Read more "Happy New Year!"Here we are, in the last month of what I would call one of the most challenging years of my life. The potential to look back and resent, be regretful, delusional, sad, or to be angry is great. The holiday’s have a funny way of stirring the pot. This time of year mysteriously brings things to […]
Read more "December"The other night I found myself in my mother’s craft room, attempting to be creative. I am bad at art, has been one of my go-to phrases since the fourth grade. I will always remember her; the art teacher from hell. She told me I was bad at art and I believed it ever since. My […]
Read more "You are not a jar"There should be no rush in this beautiful, magical, sometimes deeply upsetting & wildly chaotic thing we call life. Remember your breath & the power that you have. Take your time, especially when you feel that time is a limited resource. Slowing down creates space, it enhances your creativity, & allows you to listen to your […]
Read more "Take all the time you need"Darling, Move the way love makes you move. Sashaying, skipping, frolicking, spinning, arms in the air, hair flying wildly about. Move into everything you possibly can with the joy of love propelling you forward with every step. Move into uncomfortable, new things with intrigue. When you move the way fear makes you move you […]
Read more "The way love makes you move"It has been far too long again. Hello!! Today, I broke down crying in my car. There I was. In the freakin’Walmart parking lot: red-faced, teary-eyed, yoga-pants-on, didn’t-even-brush-my-hair, crazy woman, having a sob fest. I pulled myself together before the song on the radio ended. And then I continued on with my day. My soul-searching […]
Read more "Sob Fest"Hello lovelies, I hope the weekend left you starry-eyed, excited, intrigued, or a little less sleep deprived at least. In the spirit of soul searching, my weekend was a combination of volunteering, (obligatory study for the GRE), a full moon drum circle, and an amazing day trip to Flagstaff to climb Mt. Humphreys (for one hell […]
Read more "I hope I never stay the same"Hey there, If you have read any of my sporadic posts over the past few months, follow me on instagram, or know me in real life, it is probably not hard to figure out that I have been doing a lot of soul-searching the past six months. In fact, it seems like that is the majority of […]
Read more "Soul food"Happy Monday my loves! You know what I find really interesting? Well, scary actually. The more I use mantras, practice yoga, and meditate, the more work I feel like I need. Isn’t that the opposite of what should be happening? HAHA! Or so I thought… Tuning in instead of numbing out is beautiful. Beautiful, but damn […]
