Mushrooms
Some notes from the mushrooms… The help that I asked for. … The world, your brain, your body, your awareness, and your consciousness are all much bigger and more expansive than you can grasp. … There are infinitely more possibilities, worlds of experience, and wisdoms available to you in every moment. Just ask for help.…
Read MoreTurtle Love
My Aunt Joan has been on my mind a lot lately. She is mostly not in her “right” mind given her dementia, but certain parts of her personality still shine through… A couple of people from Joan’s past have reached out to me after finding the blog post I wrote about her a few years…
Read MoreSolstice
Standing still with the Sun to honor the Solstice. Watching the Sun dance with the water, wind, trees, tides, and shining deeply through the clear, blue sky. I find witnessing moments like this so romantic. It’s the romance between nature and me. Sometimes I cry because it is so beautiful and I have only tears,…
Read MoreNew Choice
New Choice! I remember the feeling of being in an improv scene during a Medicine Theater class and hearing Asher Lyons call out, “New choice!” He was saying to pivot and change the scene, to take it in a new direction by making a new choice. Sometimes that “new choice” energy moves us in the…

My dad took this photo of my mom and me about 42 years ago. Today my mom turns 83 and soon I turn 46. What a blessing it is to have been given all these moments to become who we are today and experience all the human things that life offers. Nothing is promised and…
Read MoreSpring Equinox
A simple, sincere celebration. Today I only had a moment to honor the Spring Equinox. I spotted the first purple hyacinth I’ve seen this year blooming wild in the grass. I felt humbled by her beauty and freshness. I couldn’t look away for the longest time because of how fleeting Spring wild flowers can be.…
Read MoreListening to Water
Listening to water calms me. I often try to hear words in her sounds and find messages in my experience of her. My desire to make meaning is a front for my longing to experience the unearned love of the divine. The ways water shines her love on me fill up the spaces between words…
Read MoreWisdom from My Dying Self
A reflection through the eyes of my heart from wisdom gained over a lifetime. What my dying self would say to me about my life in this moment… ✨ Your life is a beautiful expression of healing, curiosity, love, compassion, peace, and stillness. The waves of love and generosity still in motion from the vibrations…
