“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” -Havelock Ellis I’ve never been any good at letting people go.

Empowered by Femininity
The moon is full and so is my heart. Wow, I was absolutely not expecting this femininity journey to take root the way it did. And this full moon is bringing up so many beautiful thoughts and emotions for me to sift through and learn from. I’m not quite ready to share all my thoughtsContinue reading “Empowered by Femininity”
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day I had a fantastic weekend! And today really brought it all together.
Appreciation

This journey to my best self is solitary and veryContinue reading “Appreciation”
Basket Full of Us
On this journey, I’ve learned to love in ways I have always wished to be loved. It was much easier when I was young before all the betrayals and heartbreaks.

I also didn’t learnContinue reading “Four Seasons”
Femininity, I Remember You
Femininity, I remember you. Now that I’m learning more about my cycle, I’m realizing that everything should be more of a weekly rotation. It’s not about going hard in the am 3-5 times a week and resting on the weekend, like we’ve all been taught. While men have daily phases (morning, noon, and night), womenContinue reading “Femininity, I Remember You”
A Timestamp
“It’s never too late to go after what you desire. Middle age isn’t an endpoint. It’s simply a timestamp for you to get out there and accomplish those long-standing goals.” -Stephanie Valente from The Good Trade Just another blog to prepare me for turning 40. To keep this transition grounded, I’m looking into femininity, feminism,Continue reading “A Timestamp”
