Billie Holiday said it best: “Them that’s got shall get, Them that’s not shall lose, So the Bible says and it still is news…” She was onto something. A woman with a mic, a broken heart, and a whole lot of power channeling a universal truth: There’s a force in this world that doesn’t play …

Take a pulse right now. Does any part of you feel…rigid? Rushed? Nervous? Behind? Overscheduled? Scared of what lies ahead? Longing for what used to be? I got you. I feel you. In this world and at this time, it is so easy to veer from the path of connection to disconnection. Especially with …
I think the most miserable times I have ever experienced in my life have been when things were “fine.” Boyfriend is fine. Business is fine. Life is just fine. Similarly, I am not okay with “okay”. Family is okay. Apartment is okay. Work is going okay. “Okay” drains my life force, and “fine” makes my …

There is a part of creation that hurts. That could seem humiliating. Or embarrassing. Creation is … chaotic. Feminine. Co-operating with forces, more than rules. Raw. Risky. Fueled by passion. Making no sense, sometimes. Choosing into a living, breathing truth that may be utterly unrecognizable to others. I had my ass blown every-which-way-wide open …
