Hello Loves, September was an adventure! I flew from Canada to Taiwan for a three week trip with my fiancé. She left her birth country when she was sixteen years old and had not been back for sixteen years. I love the serendipity of that timing. Our first week was spent reconnecting with her family.… Continue reading September Reflections

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

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

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

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

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
