Happy 2013!
I think this says it all. I had so much fun creating this! What is your creation to kick-off 2013?
New Year’s (wo)Manifesto
I take care of myself. I value myself and my contributions to my life, family, and community. I remember who I am – a powerful life force passing through this body – and am able to see beyond my human tribulations and emotional responses. I let myself shine and touch...
New Year’s Resolution? Or New Vision
I was stopped in my tracks when my dear friend Gloria Jean, who I haven't been in touch with for years, emailed me recently. "What's your new world going to look like?" she inquired. I've been in a process of reflection and some messy growing over the past few months...

WTF?
“Everything Happens For The Best,” Gurumayi was known to say at the ashram where Shaman Guy and Kai hung out years ago. This sentiment is lovely and reassuring. It offers hope when you’re facing heartbreak, financial setbacks, or injury. There is the promise...
In the Blink of an Eye
