TRUTH RISES AT VARIABLE SPEEDS// The Window of Opportunity in "Before" and "After"

I’m starting to believe (based on experience and intuition) that there are certain times in our life where we are like a vessel. A set of circumstances happens, world or personal events line up and some part of life cracks open.

LIFE MADE LIGHT// Making Space

Perhaps
this is the first time
you’ve had to make sense
of loss.

Maybe,
you are
unfamiliar
with grief.

BABY STEPS STILL MOVE YOU FORWARD// Taking Time

As you may already know, this year I’ve been working on launching a second hand apparel company, Fold and Fray. Despite any resistance that occasionally comes up, I firmly believe that moving slow is essential.

SOLSTICE// July

I.
Time
moves
with a swiftness
that catches your breath mid inhale.
Sweeping the present from under your feet-
you are the remaining plates and silverware
from a yanked-out tablecloth.

FOLD AND FRAY// When to Jump and When to Slow

I’m excited to finally announce what I’ve been working on. I have been creating Fold and Fray, an online shop selling gently-used modern and vintage apparel.

ARE YOU ON YOUR PATH// Practice, Change and Accepting the Past

If you're working to change and interested in growth, there will be slip ups; when you-know you know better but cave to an old pattern anyway. You can consciously be aware that something is not healthy, and still do it. This is part of the process of change.

NEW YEAR// Quicksand House

The place I was living,
my metaphorical house
(body, spirit, self, mind, external world)
came down.
Beyond repair.

BE PATIENT WITH YOUR MIND

Working on yourself to heal and do better is like taking inventory. You first work with what you already know. Layers like onions, peeling back one at a time in a non attached, curious, patient way. Because when you meet a layer you didn’t know about, you treat it with kindness, investigate it, figure out the best way to unravel, how to set that part free.

FAILURE, COURAGE, AND HEARTACHE// On Being Where You Are

Accepting where you’re at is tender, but that softening brings you back to the moment and into your body. When we want something to be different than it is we miss out on our lives. Wanting uncomfortable feelings to pass, or waiting for a moment in the future, is wishing your life away.

UPLEVELLING// Facing Your Shadow

Rising from a place of destruction, preparing to face things you’d rather not, is like gathering every possible tool for your toolbelt, ready for excavation.
