It’s January. A new year. A new decade, and an ominous one at that. 2020. A year that holds a lot of hope. Maybe the magic of the double 20 will, poof!.. bring in a new president for the US, resolve the ongoing Brexit fiasco, reverse climate change, and bring peace to the Middle East … Continue reading Will your year be fearfully frenzied or faith filled in flow?
7 years ago I was here in Australia, swapping winter for summer, chasing my bliss. We arrived green travelers. Had never properly pitched a tent before, and yet there we were, camping our way along the coast. Twenty-four hours in, and I had a melt-down. We were trying to make our way through Sydney in … Continue reading From Fear to Faith in 7 Years
To the women in prison, I don’t know you. I don’t know your story or how you got here. And yet a part of me feels I know you already. My sense is it went down something like this: Something was taken from you. Violated, controlled, pushed into a corner, neglected, and/or abused, your sense … Continue reading A letter to the women in prison
28 days ago I made a commitment to myself that I would write for 40 days straight; the next phase of this cyclical living that I’m experimenting with. The icing on the cake was to publish; have some accountability to the world. Day 28 and I’ve stuck with this for 19 days. That’s 67% if … Continue reading Redefining Success and Failure (And breaking my own rules)
I am a woman, 39 years old, from very white ancestry, who inherited a level of educational and economical privilege. Twenty years ago I faced the first major challenge and failure in my life. My body was not performing the way I wanted it to. It did not look good enough and would not run … Continue reading The Collision of Food, Faith, and the Feminine
There was a version of god that got shoved down my throat. He was a he. A very big he. Strong, muscular, like one of those super heroes that can wreak havoc with one gust of his breath. He carried those pitch-fork like three-pronged spears on the end of a long stick. He could point … Continue reading The version of God that got shoved down my throat
I am feeling deeply for all those who are saying, “I can’t.” I can’t tolerate this relationship anymore, I can’t fix this, I can’t accept the way things are being done, I can’t. I can’t is your ‘No’. Finding the courage to hear your own boundary is a huge win. It’s a place that so … Continue reading One way to tell if your ‘No’ is your fear or your Truth
I started reading a book over the weekend that is just slightly blowing my mind. It’s a money book, which to be honest I’m surprised I’m that jazzed about. I eat up any book that tells a good story about emotional or spiritual growth, and although I’ve read a few money related books that … Continue reading What it takes to let your money start working for you
It’s funny how your shit follows you. Today I found myself reliving a scenario from 8 years ago when I got slammed for what I thought was doing the right thing, and I was told it wasn't good enough. I had overheard at a dinner party that there was a misprint of some PR merchandise that … Continue reading For when you think you screwed it up; How you can’t do it wrong
I’m tired of wearing hats that aren’t mine to wear. Like accountant, immigration lawyer, marketing guru, social media genius, SEO pro, management consultant. They are sexy, intriguing titles, but they aren’t me. In my 20’s my job required me to have a certain level of expertise when it came to taxes and immigration for US … Continue reading Cutting myself some slack
