ExistenceCascading into the rebirth, the reawakening of Spring rescues me. / Keeping me from diving deeper into the abyss of the cold winter / Where shadows danced freely in the cavern of my mind

The take over...the celebrationThis time of year seems to take us down the rabbit hole of the past. / Wanting and needing to believe that the future holds those rainbows with pots of gold in the upcoming year. / Reflecting back on a past full of holes I use to feel that brokenness like it was yesterday, who am I kidding more like today.

My Christmas wish for youThis Christmas, may we gently set our differences aside / and remember what truly binds us together. / May we choose to be the light

Living in Your truthWhen you truly know who you are, the noise of the world no longer demands your performance. / There is no race to run, no mask to wear, no stage to stand upon. / The quiet confidence of self-awareness dissolves the need to prove, to defend, or to explain.

Five Ways to Navigate Between: No Longer and Not Yet~Honor the ending. / Allow yourself to grieve what has passed. Even if it no longer serves you, it shaped you. Closing chapters with gratitude creates space for the new. / Trust the pause.

Navigating the In betweenLife isn’t just about the peaks of joy or the valleys of loss. It’s the whole spectrum, the living, the loving, the losing, and the learning. / Love, even when it ends, leaves traces of who we’ve become because of it. Every heartbreak shapes your heart into a vessel that can hold more wisdom, empathy, and depth than it could before. / When it all feels meaningless, it’s usually because you’re standing in the space between what you’ve lost and what you haven’t yet found. That’s the hardest part, the “in-between”. But, it’s also where transformation happens. The meaning of life may not be a fixed answer; it might be a process of becoming. It’s the art of continually creating meaning, even when things fall apart.

The UnknownLife is full of things we’ll never truly understand. Not because we didn’t try, but because some truths live quietly in the spaces we cannot reach. Between what is said and what is felt, between what is given and what is withheld, there are entire worlds of meaning that go unseen. / We walk through our days brushing up against other souls, some we love, some we lose, some we only meet in passing — and yet, we rarely know the depth of their story. We don’t know the silent battles fought behind steady eyes, the prayers whispered in solitude, or the moments when they thought they might not make it through. / We may never know the way someone admired our courage from afar, or the way our kindness changed a day we thought went unnoticed.

Keeping the Pathway to Love ClearLove is sacred…not the fleeting kind that fades with time, / but the eternal current that flows through the soul. / It asks for clarity, honesty, and the courage to remain open.

When the World Turns Itself Inside OutA few years ago, I had a quiet intuition. About all the negativity clinging to the bottom of this 3-D world. All of the low vibrational sludge we ignore or numb ourselves to, would one day rise to the surface. I imagined a kind of spiritual cleansing, a global flip where what was hidden would be cleared away. / What I didn’t imagine was the scale of what would be revealed. / When the flip came, it didn’t just expose old shadows. It illuminated the cruelty we show each other as human beings, the suffering we allow for animals, and the disrespect we’ve shown the very earth that holds us. Seeing all of it…so raw, so unfiltered, has been painful.

I have Waited many Lifetimes to Know you~Through many lifetimes I have known you / the signs and symbols are seared into the delicate / pores of my skin
