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

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

Hello Loves, In my twenties I picked up a book by a well-loved Tibetan-Buddhist Rinpoche (monk). He told a story about how he was waiting outside of his house at the curb for a cab driver to pick him up and take him to the airport. The cab driver was late, and when he did… Continue reading Presence

Hello Loves, There is no problem too big for nature to solve. Nature is the soothsayer. The mystic. The healer. The Wise One. The magician. The teacher. The mother. I take all of my worries, fears, doubts, woes, and insecurities to nature. She is my greatest companion. I’ll meander along a trail deep into a… Continue reading Nature

My friend is going back to her abusive X. Slowly but surely. This is extremely difficult to witness. They separated and were firm enough on this decision to sell their family home. She bought her own place, and he bought his. They worked out child custody arrangements. She started counseling. He started counseling. Their kids… Continue reading She’s Going Back

Since time immemorial woman have been called crazy. I just finished watching Britney VS Spears, and all of the old injustices I have suffered through have resurfaced in my memory, and my anger has been rekindled. What does the singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, businesswoman and I have in common? Abuse. Abuse by our boyfriends. Abuse… Continue reading She’s Crazy

It started with phone calls. At first I would answer thinking it was my mom or a friend calling. My X raged on the other end of the line seething with sarcasm, hatred, and threats. I’d hop in my car with my baby, and drive to the police department. At the station, with my daughter… Continue reading Post Traumatic Stress

I haven’t had a night terror in a few years now. And for that I’m very grateful. But when my nights were affected by them, so were my days – I’d exist in an over-tired and exhausted bubble. They would come for many nights in a row, with a growing intensity. Then they’d taper off… Continue reading Night Terrors
