Taste of a Memory

There have been a few times in my life when I've made big moves. This has resulted in leaving some amazing people behind in other states as I found my way to new adventures. Some friends I stayed in contact with for only a few years and some are still a part of my life, …

A Letter to My Six Year Old Self

Hello. I love you. You’re about to experience some things that will change your life forever. First, know you’re okay. (My Sister & I) Just because you will have to go through some things alone, or be the one who is responsible, does not mean you have to do everything yourself. In fact you are …

New Moon in Cancer = Grumpy Butt

Well, hello New Moon in Cancer. Who else has all the feels? Ugh. Give me a glass of wine, a nap, and wake me up in two days. Wednesday was a good day. But Tuesday, Thursday, and today, I keep finding myself moody, angry, & irritable. Almost even resentful towards myself and others. I’m really …

A Little Quiet Time

Guess what!? I just found myself at home with only the dog for the next hour. Not even any neighbors from the sound of it. It’s raining and I’ve opened a window to listen. The last few weeks have been intense as I started a couple new day jobs. There are so many things I …

Our family was brought up in the Pentecostal tradition which is quite possibly the furthest in contrast to the Roman Catholic church. …

Dolly, Feelings, & Forgiveness

"I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things. So when I hurt, I hurt all over. And when I cry, I cry real hard. And when I’m mad, I’m mad all over. I’m just a person; I like to experience whatever the feeling is and whatever I’m …

A Rogue Bead

In 2020, I bought my first mala beads. It was made of sandalwood and turquoise. I wasn't sure at the time if I would use it with mantras, but since I was doing a 108 sun salutation challenge virtually with some friends, it seemed appropriate. As I learned more about mantras and affirmations, I did …

Wisdom in Gratitude

Recognizing the Messages Around Us

Today in my meditation, I suddenly pictured myself lying in a field looking up at a swarm of white butterflies dancing above me. The sun was bright and warm but there was a distinct feeling of autumn. I took some more deep breaths and saw a flash of silvery, black stones in the bottom of …
