I Am Not A Guy!

It’s obvious, isn’t it!?  I am a girl. So why do I get called a guy over and over and over again throughout my day?  From coworkers, friends, family, men, and even other women?  Why, at the gym, does my female trainer shout, “You got this guys!!” When it’s only myself and my other female friend there?  What guys? Where…..

Happy Valentine’s Day

“There are human beings on the face of this earth who do not know what love means, or companionship, who do not have parents, who do not have sisters or brothers, who understand an isolation that is bleak and cold, even if it is of their own making. Each of you in this room who…

What a wonderful worm…

Continually since my post about spiders, I have looked at all insects differently. I am still working to meet them with an open heart and calm mind… even if my first instinct is “AH! EW! I wish you weren’t in my experience right now” – I am committed to transforming my relationship to these beings….

THERE IS MAGIC!

This past Saturday, after spending some time laying in the sand with the sun kissing my skin at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, I stopped at SoulScape for the first time… my kind of place: books everywhere, trinkets everywhere, tapestries, candles, symbols, crystals, cards, clothing, jewelry, all birthed from the soul.  I am happy I stopped…

Creepy Crawly Beautiful Beings

Over the past few months, a natural inquiry about my relationship with insects has come to the forefront of my awareness.  Seemingly a strange thing to focus on, right?  But I have noticed that I am suddenly very aware that I am looking to shift my reaction to insects, spiders, and all creepy crawly things…

The Dao gives birth to all beings, nourishes them, maintains them, cares for them, comforts them, protects them,…

TalesFromHospice:Take3

As I walked out of the Rehab center after the quickest 2.5 hours ever with my Hospice Friend the sky stopped me in awe.  I stood there for a few moments, staring up, giving thanks, tears streaming down my soft fleshy cheeks, as life is so beautiful, and so precious, and so seemingly fleeting.  I…

W O R D S

I write often about words but woooooooooah… just think about it! OF ALL the  l e t t e r s OF ALL the symbols OF ALL the languages I get to choose which ones I actually want to say.  I get to hand pick them (haha not literally ;))… I envision it as a…

Recluse In The City

e’ryday~ Because I’ve realized… You will only know me to the extent that you know yourSelf.  Otherwise you will just be interacting with aspects of my personality that resonate with you at the level you are at….  but I dwell so much deeper, and although my hoodie is up, I am always inviting you in to…

Rediscover Waiting ~ A Quote by Osho

We have forgotten how to wait; it is almost an abandoned space. And it is our greatest treasure to be able to wait for the right moment. The whole existence waits for the right moment. Even trees know it – when it is time to bring the flowers and when it is time to let…
