Welcome to the holidays, friends. Whether we adore them or dread them, here we are again at the edge of all that glittering, complicated cheer. ’Tis the season of holding tight: to loved ones, to sanity, sometimes to the peace we find in distance. For some, it might be a […]

In this brief moment of coming fully to the self with awareness, let’s make the decision to remember to enjoy this wild ride we call life. Yes, it’s stressful. Yes, the world is a whole lotta bananas and often even meaner. But we are still here. We are not mean. […]
Taking in the energy of right now, we resonate. Always. Still. From here we can allow ourselves to be aware. We can use our breath, in the space after the inhale and before the whisper of release, to anchor in stillness. And from this place deep beneath our surface, we […]

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 […]
