  • Still rolling…

    So I did the thing. I did the thing I was a bit nervous about. Life really does move on and change and grow. It really does. No doubt about it. I am so amazed to think about how my experience of the last 24 hours has allowed me to realize how much I have…

  • Every day doesn’t have to sound a certain way.

    I feel tired of having to be this person that others think I am. There’s something that seems to have been learned in me that says – don’t call anyone unless you are in a good mood. And if they call you, make sure you sound happy so you can make them happy. Oh it…

  • 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 letter after the fire

    Sometimes I just want to write shit down and then burn it. I really should start doing that. Because writing is really how I express myself. But I think about this platform – and how grateful I am to have this connection to the universe through cyber space -and I say to myself – I…

  • 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…

  • Untitled post 1622

    I envy people who can express themselves from the inside out. Dancers who make you feel something. Painters who make you feel something. Singers who tug at your heart strings. Writers who can draw you in to a world that takes you somewhere. I had a thought a few years ago – ‘my mind is…

  • Take care of yourself

    Take care of yourself

    See that woman in that photo? My little mom. She has (and still does) cared for me in ways that I can’t even comprehend. But I can feel them and I know who I am today in large part because of her. I received an open letter recently. In it I read the words –…

  • I allow myself to trust in life

    I have a morning routine. Do you? I don’t know if I’ve always had one… I suppose I have but this one that I’ve been into lately is a purposeful morning routine. Every morning when I open my eyes I stick on some sort of guided meditation. I love it. I take 10-20 minutes in…

  • Writing when I feel bad.

    Writing when I feel bad.

    Today feels really hard. Yesterday felt extremely hard. My parents sold my family home yesterday. I feel like the roots I had in this Earth have been uplifted without any closure. I’m not there, so what can I do? It feels surprisingly (yet also familiarly) lonely. I know I’m here, in Ireland, with a great…

  • Finding your truth.

    So here’s a thought for a Friday. Give yourself the weekend maybe to ponder this. How do you know what you know? How did you learn it? Who did you learn it from? Who did they learn that from? How do you know its the truth? Is it fact? Just think about these things for the…
