“Stand boldly at the cross roads and make an art of it.” Your life is your art. Your reality is your escape. You get to wake up and decide who it is you will serve, what it is you will serve. I often lean toward the things that set my soul on fire. I’ve beenContinue reading “Life as Art and Breaking Free”

Life is Art
“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. That’s one huge reason why I make sure I connect with people I truly want around forever. Because this girl just loves people forever. But I agree, learningContinue reading “Life is Art”
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”
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. But I’m happy to feel myself returning to a place where I can love whether I’m intimately close and from a distance. It has beenContinue reading “Basket Full of Us”
Four Seasons
“Getting to know your cycle better means getting to know yourself better. And there’s a great deal of power in that.” – Olivia Salter taken from Your Menstrual Cycle Seasons Explained I’ve learned about the different phases of our cycle in health class, but I never learned about them being called seasons.

Our Inner Mindset
“The most life-shaping choices we can make are those of our mindset — we can choose the best orientation toward the world, we can choose the best orientation toward each other, but where we seem to struggle the most is orienting with clarity and compassion toward our own lives, toward the choice we have inContinue reading “Our Inner Mindset”
Last Day of April
I am totally easing my way through this last day of April. Will that slow down time? Probably not, but it increases my well-being. Rushing around isn’t good for your heart or your brain (especially during this upcoming finals week). This week, as we transition into a new month, I’ll be taking walks, sipping butterflyContinue reading “Last Day of April”
Easing My Way Through Spring
Affirmation: “I welcome my emerging visions without rushing them into action.” With a million things to do to prep for summer and other transitions coming up in my life, my goal this week is to take things slow and stay in the present. Some things I had to remind myself this evening: I have everythingContinue reading “Easing My Way Through Spring”
Femininity
“Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.” – Garson Kanin I started to look more into femininity and I found that 54% of women 65+ felt highly feminine in comparison to only 20% of women between the ages of 18-29. I think several factors are at play here. And now I’mContinue reading “Femininity”
