  • Birthday Wish

    So every year on my birthday I take the whole day off from social media. I’ve done it as long as I can remember. Some people know this about me already. I like to take the whole day away from it so that on the 7th I can read through all of my birthday messages…

  • The biggest leap of faith…

    So here I am… at the airport … waiting till the last possible moment to give birth to this damn post lol because it carries so much weight – why it does it feel like the weight of the world is in one little phrase? Well heres what Im figuring out – when the phrase…

  • To accept what I cannot understand

    Alright I’m just going to let this one float out of the fingertips of a gal who has been transforming since … BIRTH hahahah really we all are transforming from the moment we exist. But here is the story – the consciousness of my own transformation has really become a skill I have been developing…

  • 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…

  • #SundayStories – Wishing I never left, pretending I didn’t…

    Before Christmas I left Ireland and I had really run out of reasons to be there … legally. But in my heart and soul I had a million reasons to stay and a million reasons why I felt like I belonged. Belonging. It’s such a crazy concept. What does it mean to belong? Because there…

    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…

  • 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.…

  • 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 –…

  • With good intentions

    With good intentions

    Well they say you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You might look at it longingly, fully intending to not eat too much of it, but eat too much of it anyway and maybeeeee get a belly ache. This happened to me recently. And the belly ache was SO big it nearly cost me…
