Stories I am letting go of
Life is meant to be free – it really really is. It’s wild to think about and that’s because its so unknown. What is freedom? What is a free spirit? We all are. That is what we were born to be, but how do we actually live that reality? By simply not knowing and…

Do you have the time…
Do you have the time to stop and wonder? -Sarah Baker I’m wondering about wondering now… meta-wondering. I am reading through a new magazine these days, it’s called Bella Grace magazine. My mom bought it for me and I think maybe she’s on to something. These people seem to be like me. Sarah Baker asked…

A savage and a sweetheart
She is an old soul with a new style,who wears black and speaks her mind. So powerful, she leaves her prints on everyone she touches because she is both: A Savage and a Sweetheart. – S. Menutt I resonate deeply with this quote. Sometimes I feel more like a savage in my inner life and a sweetheart…

The longest winters
“When we reduce great things to such dismissive categories, we rob them of their selfhood and deprive them of their voice.” – Parker Palmer I cracked open today. I can’t believe I have been refusing to crack open for so long. I really cracked. How can I continue to reduce my greatness to pretending that…

Why I write (part 1 of many perhaps…)
I don’t normally do this… actually I’ve never done this. But what I wrote this morning in my journal is something I would like to share for the first time. (Ever. ever ever. Dun dun dun.)

Make art even if no one is watching.
Make art especially if no one is watching. How about that? I recently heard someone say – we learn best through stories. Why is it that we hold ourselves back until we find something that makes us feel validated? Do things for the sake of doing them. I recently experienced a deep-seated sadness and fear, I didn’t…

One Hundred and Eighty.
One hundred and eighty. 180. That’s the number of degrees it takes to shut my bathroom door. My new bathroom door that is – in my new home. 2016 man… what crazy year. My parents sold the house this year so my family home now belongs to someone else. I hope they are enjoying it.…

The little things… and the big things.
You know what I’ve realized lately … Little b was really smart. It only took me feeling like things had been turned on their side (^^) to go back to my roots and realize that the things that guided me when I was young will be my greatest allies no matter how old I get.…

These days
See that up there ^^? She would never admit it, but she was petrified of looking the way she was feeling at the time… like sh*t. April 2014… I had just started dancing again after 13.5 months off. I ruptured my achilles… got operated on… and began the long long long road to recovery. Well…
