Awareness & Awakening, Poetry

Your destination is on the left

I have reached an age where my heroes have become human.
There is a softer kind of magic to believe in now—
That a body can bend
That a heart can turn sour but ripen again
That friendships are meandering, and loyalty sometimes means dormancy and patience. Continue reading Your destination is on the left

Sense of Urgency! [Living your best life]

Far too often we approach our days with drudgery – a series of mundane tasks that need to be slogged through in order to reach the sweet spot of pajamas and slumber (often prefaced by a glass or two of wine). Continue reading Sense of Urgency! [Living your best life]

Bellyfat

Standing in my bathroom, I peer down at the flesh protruding over the top of my athletic shorts. It looks like a dimpled loaf of unbaked bread, or maybe a doubled-over baguette.

When you are uncertain, when things seem impossible, when life appears stalled—invite LOVE to take over.
There are days when staying in comfy clothes and drinking tea by the fire is about as productive as you want to get.
Please remember—here in America—this is not just a day off of school.
I have gratitude for the words, the way they move through me with their healing hands and rub soft my spiky self-criticism.
