In the end, only we know where we’re going. In the end, only we know who we want to be. And in the interest of dispelling fallacies about the end *spoiler alert* from our higher vantage point and from greater minds than ours, the end was never the point anyway. It’s the […]
This is a longer post, friends, so strap in. There’s a gorgeousness to working with people. And yes, I’m aware that any number of my former equestrian clients are knee-slap laughing right now. Because from the lifetime equestrian climbing up one horse, then back up another, who swore I was a horse-not-people […]
We speak in signs and whispered synchronicities. We say, “it’s amessage,” when the owl flies low, when our gaze slides to the clock just striking 11:11, when a stranger echoes the very words we were too afraid to say. It might even feel like the world is constantly tapping us on the […]

With tiny bodies and little awareness, we’re tossed into this human phase of our journey and expected to navigate this thing called life. It’s a gorgeous mess, isn’t it? Aren’t we? One moment things are exactly as we’ve planned, the next what we’ve so carefully curated rains around us in […]
As products of our society, we are trained to accept the struggle for stability as a natural byproduct of life. We learn from an early age that being stable comes from the vigilant effort of resisting what’s happening externally. This is a teaching that begins at birth. We’re loud, our […]
