A postcard for me
The rain I'm having a fully paid vacation, 2 nights in a nice hotel with my favorite humans. So I'll anchor myself with all this. I'm here now, I'm savoring it all. 1. Right now, I am safe. I am supported. I am allowed to rest.2. The worries of life can wait. This is my … Continue reading A postcard for me
Needs
Yes. I do.I do deserve a comfortable life. Not a perfect one. Not a luxurious one.But a safe, steady, held one.A life where I don’t always have to brace myself. Where my body can unclench.Where I don’t always have to be the one holding the roof up. I need rest. Not just sleep. I need … Continue reading Needs
A return
There’s a shape my body knows.I didn’t learn it in a class or from a book.I don’t even remember deciding to do it.But I find myself in it — every morning, every night.Balasana. Child’s Pose.

Like saying, “I give up.”But this month, I’ve been learning…it's not giving up.It’s giving in—to life, as it is.I chose “accepting what is” as my anchor word, not because I’m a spiritual person floating in … Continue reading Amor fati

Thunderstorm
Today, I stood up for love.I protected what mattered.I honored my truth.The storm rose, and I did not run.I was fierce, and I was honest.I gave a voice to the fire inside me.And now…The fire can cool.The sky is clear. The night can hold me. I do not need to carry the weight of this … Continue reading Thunderstorm
