What I’ve learned so far is that self-hatred has a bottom. If you follow it down into the reverberating terror, through the hot heat of shame, inside the center of the grieving body, past the grip of powerless rage, it lands. The landing is you. Self-hatred is the bandage over the wound. The wound is […]
She’s the Master of Presence
I’m focused on the practice of presence. The practice of my own soul-presence in my body resonating out and watching how the mind interrupts this juicy experience with stories and memories of fear. I have every good reason to run fear through my nervous system (based on what I have lived through) but now I don’t need […]
I asked for an upgrade, now I’m flat on my back
This is my life right now. Flat out on pavement with beauty sprinkled delicately around me. Man, am I working my process! In the middle of a divorce, learning to be a single Mother, learning to be single (!), learning to say YES to more vivid love and a committed NO to the things that are […]
A Joyful No: video archive flashback
Hey ya’ll, some of you have asked me to keep posting videos so I pulled out one from the archives. I can’t even believe my child was once this little. So sweet. Hope you enjoy!!!

(haha, cracked myself up with that one). Whatever, the thing is, I talk to them. Daily, and they literally show me a map […]
Living with an Enlightened Being
For me, my daughter points the way. All day long, she points me in the direction of opening. She shows me how to do it. She thrives at a level way beyond my usual, daily suffering. She reaches towards me with her big, fearless heart and says “Go this way” and when I follow her, […]
A Dare: Letter to my Former Self
I was invited to write a letter to my former self. It went like this: “Think about a moment or a period of time in your life when everything changed for you. We all have zigs and zags in our life, but think about the one that stands out – the moment that changed it all. […]
