• Owning Your Voice: A Bit on Writing Craft and a Lot on Identity

    Why am I doing what I’m doing? Who is it for? What meaning does it hold? The urge to compare can be paralyzing, but we can each only be who we are. How I can lean into who I already am and what I do well to offer as a gift to the world?

  • Facing a Double Bind: A Birthing Dilemma

    At its best, is not the process of birth itself a form of surrender? One where my body delivers and yields, opening up to an embodied way of giving life that has been happening since women first knew existence. It should not be something where I am forced against my will to give or submit…

  • Ebbs and Flows: Two Things True Simultaneously

    Negative self-talk, shame, and comparison don’t serve me in working towards my goals. It also doesn’t help to completely let myself off the hook every day and say, “oh well.” No book manuscript will get finished this way.

  • The Intimate Expression of One’s Own Being

    We are inextricably linked and interconnected with everyone around us. Most of us live oblivious to it, our ego teaching us to think in an individualized way. But if we are all made in the image of the Divine, if we all carry Divine DNA in our being, and if we are all given the…

  • No One Else Can Grow Me Up but Me

    Scarcity versus Abundance

    The stress was overwhelming. But then, for a moment, I remembered to breathe. Abundance. Breathe it in. It’s right there, waiting for me to claim. So do it. Breathe it in. Divine Essence, all around me. Believe. Slow. Move my body in an act of faith. Lungs expand. Fill with abundance. Breathe out blessing. There’s…
