I’ve spent most of this week squirming in the holy hot seat, feeling like a woman on fire at the feet of the goddess of rage. Not much to do but unclench my fists, let it all burn and surrender, surrender, breathe, surrender. There’s something about walking through this kind of fire that burns down…

on white privilege
White folks – before you react, please take a deep breath and pour yourself a cup of tea. We need to chat. First, let’s take a moment to discuss this statement. Saying that black lives matter is not saying that others lives do not. It is calling attention to a problem, and America, boy do…
new moon in cancer – july 2018
So much swirling around in the cosmos and in my being these days… last night’s watery New Moon in Cancer coupled with yesterday’s solar eclipse may have had you swimming in a sea of emotions, but also provides an opportunity to release, let die what needs to die, and see what is ready to be…
full moon in capricorn – june 2018
This strawberry full moon in Capricorn, in all it’s luscious abundance, may be stirring up some rather uncomfortable and intense emotions… the kind we want to push down, look away, or run from. But don’t run – stay, look at it, bathe in it, sink your teeth into it. Feel all of it fully and…

for the fathers
To all the fathers out there in many forms – those who love, comfort, care for, mentor, teach, and support, and those who may not yet know how to show up – I see you. I see how you carry a heavy weight on your shoulders to provide, to work hard, to be strong and…
all the parts unknown
I was really saddened to hear about Anthony Bourdain’s death. It breaks my heart to hear that anyone was suffering so deeply. He of course is not someone I knew… but seemed to embody someone full of life, who explored every part of this world and the people in it, and advocated for those who…
new moon in gemini – june 2018
The new moon marks the end of one lunar cycle and the beginning of another, making it an ideal time for new beginnings, and to just let shit go. You know… THAT shit. That situation, pattern, behavior, habit, thought, person or thing that you know is no longer serving your highest good. It is a…
