I am enough.
Okay honestly I think I’m about to spew what feels like decades of words on to this page. It’s really wild that it has only hit me lastnight/this morning how much information there is out there. That we are basically born into an information overload. Billions of temptations of things to learn, to experience, to…

Learning vs transforming
I went for a walk today and it took me a lot of time to convince myself to get out there. But once I did it was like someone let the lid off a steaming pot of word stew because I went OFF. Couldn’t stop talking to my pals in the universe. I knew I…

Truth vs reality
Today the first words I spoke were “thank you”. Then I began to notice that the next four or five times I opened my mouth to speak it was to say thank you or “you’re welcome”. I walked up to yoga training in absolute reverence for the beauty of those interactions. How lucky am I…

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…

Don’t look down. ouch…
February 6th. I celebrate the 6ths of the month. For me you know? I was born on the 6th. It is my day. On the 6th I read my morning meditation and it was about trusting our hearts. How sometimes (many times for me) we will go into different ways of dealing with painful experiences…

Belief. Grief
Belief makes things real. Does acceptance make them real? As it rains down, on my first day of yoga teacher training, I am reminded of a theory I developed recently – that it might rain on all of the important days of my life. Maybe not forever… but I forgot about it until today…

For You Uncle Tommy
The first sentence is always the hardest. But then I heard Uncle Tommy in my ear saying… Well that’s your first f#$%#ing sentence then. Move on… Yesterday we wore blue for you. You wore blue too. That felt special. There just simply aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe and honor a…

#SundayStories It’s not scratch…
So I’m learning about value. Value – n. – a fair return or equivalent in goods, services or money for something exchanged; relative worth, utility or importance This is really huge for me. I have this idea about what the USA is. What it’s about. What my life would be like here. I have ideas.…

On my ownio
This week I had a rare opportunity – a whole week in the studio by myself. Working on Two Can Do … but also working on myself without realizing it. When you have time on your own that is in disguise, it’s amazing what can come out. Do you ever put time aside to just…

What am I supposed to do…
Some people in my life will see this image later on in the week during my performance with the Step Up Dance Project. Apart from that… this gesture comes from a line that I’ve written that starts with “What am I supposed to do…?” So what am I supposed to do? Yesterday it felt like…
