Every single moment, you can start anew. The words of my teacher come to me as I walk the streets on this spring morning, taking in the vibrant purple trees that line the streets where I live. It’s Spring now. Ushered in by the grace of the full moon. Reminding us that now is a… Continue reading Start. Anew.
Rise Now.
Good morning Devis (that means brilliant ones). I won’t be here long with you, as I am wrapping up final preparations for a retreat. Women are already journeying in my direction (a sleepy little pueblo about 30 minutes from Zihuatenejo)….. I, myself, am sitting between a parking lot lined with palm trees and a swimming… Continue reading Rise Now.
Woman Knows.
Within each woman are fierce instincts of survival. Instincts that will save her or destroy her. And unless she finds her way through the sleepy, burdensome normalcy of mundane living, this instinct falls dormant and slowly, but certainly, she dies. But first, she struggles. She buys red shoes and paints her lips. She drinks too… Continue reading Woman Knows.
Spark.
Sometimes I feel like I am such the “naysayer”. The one who says, usually with her ‘inside voice’…. “yyyyeahhhhh… but that isn’t the WHOLE story.” So, I wanna talk Kondo, because I don’t actually think it’s “all that and the cat’s pajamas”… I mean, I think it’s fine and all. I’ve done it myself, years ago — read… Continue reading Spark.
Strong Like That.
When I was a little girl, and I carried the five gallon bucket of water ‘all by myself’ to the barn to feed my pony, my mama told me that I was strong. When I was I n high school and I decided to go off to college in a state some thousand of miles… Continue reading Strong Like That.
Time’s Up.
“Home is an internal place. A place somewhere in time, rather than in space where a woman feels of one piece. Home is where a thought or feeling can be sustained instead of being interrupted or torn away from us because something else is demanding our time and attention. And through the ages women have… Continue reading Time’s Up.
Pulse of Her.
Om Dear Ones… Sometimes, when I think of you, I long to take you into my arms and bring you where I am… into my heart… back home to your heart… and into the heart of the One. You see, when I listen, it happens. This time it happened as I sat on the beach,… Continue reading Pulse of Her.
Both. And.
Have you ever felt like you’ve just had the HUGEST experience of all times, while at the same time it was so simple that it was profound? That’s where I am right now. Exactly one year ago today I boarded an airplane, with a backpack and a willingness to go wherever life wanted to guide… Continue reading Both. And.
Forgive. Give.
Forgive. Shmergive. Who needs it. We all do. And I have come to realize a few powerful little (life changing things) about forgiveness. 1. We all could use a dose of it (because whether we know it or not, somewhere, somehow, buried in our past, there is something that we are holding onto (or perhaps… Continue reading Forgive. Give.
Let Your Life Speak.
Sometimes I wake at night, unable to sleep… plagued by questions that sometimes rise to the surface, and sometimes settle in my bones. Questions like, How, then, shall I live? Shall I live in fear? Shall I live in the chase? Shall I live exhausted? Shall I live in the shadows? Shall I live at… Continue reading Let Your Life Speak.
