March Reflections
Hello Loves, March is the month of money autonomy for me. The definition of autonomy in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is to be self-governed. To have self-directing freedom and especially moral independence. I really like the sound of that. For the longest time I’ve wanted to understand money on the physical plane, but also the spiritual… Continue reading March Reflections
February Reflections
Hello Loves, So much has happened this month. I joined a gay choir! Oh the joy of singing at the top of my lungs. How freeing. And the sense of belonging is heart-opening. There’s no competition or judgement, just the beautiful intertwining of our voices and energy. We are silly and laugh often. We are… Continue reading February Reflections
January Reflections
Hello Loves, Happy New Year. I’m coming out of a dormant phase in my life, where my focus was on the internal more than the external. I feel like a sprout emerging from the depths of the soil, ready to show off my fancy dress of flower petals. I am eager and delighted and enthusiastic… Continue reading January Reflections
Community
Hello Loves, I live in a small town 80km east of Vancouver. I have called this community my home for over thirteen years now. I decided that I wanted to deepen my connection to my community by finding more people in alignment with who I am today, and what interests me. I pulled out paper… Continue reading Community
Movement
Hello Loves, This Aries would have gone nuts by now if hadn’t moved my body. My number one stress reliever, trauma healer, anxiety cure is movement. I love moving my body. I need to move my body. If I don’t move my body, my energy either gets stagnant and sluggish and I don’t do a… Continue reading Movement
Teachers
Hello Loves, I love my spiritual path. I was raised in an atheist household, which for me, was a blessing. I was able to explore and intuit for myself my own spiritual beliefs. I started down this path when I was twenty years old. I remember perusing the shelves of an ancient bookstore and finding… Continue reading Teachers
Friendship
Hello Loves, My friendships have been my foundation in my life. I’ve been blessed with many friends. I had my best buds in elementary school who were a gang of tomboys. We ruled the monkey bars, swings, and slide. We played tag and red rover out in the field, and our jeans had grass stains… Continue reading Friendship
Rest
Hello Loves, Sorry for the late blog post. I’m recovering from Covid. I am so grateful that I’ve prioritized rest in my life. Whether it’s resting from illness, resting from lack of sleep or exhaustion, or resting to rejuvenate, rest has a rare healing quality that nothing else compares to. I haven’t always been a… Continue reading Rest

My internal closets have been cleaned out of the pain… Continue reading Tarot
Reading
Hello Loves, Books are my everything. I love waking up in the morning, sitting at my table sipping tea, and flipping through a book of quotes or meditations or inspirations. I read something and really let it sink in. It truly helps to set the vibe for my day. In the afternoons, I read on… Continue reading Reading
Music
Hello Loves, I’ve been alive for approximately 18, 632 days, this life time 🙂 Within those thousands of days, music has been my constant. It started with the music of my mother’s heart beat – the stable beat of her life, giving me life. When I was born, it was the music of her voice… Continue reading Music
