As a supremely private person, I never truly show the public who I am. I have a love of wild things, photography, nature, great minds, and pure hearts. To share gives me joy. I have lived somewhat of a recluse life for the better part of my adult life, with a few significant relationships along [...]

Still I Wonder
We paint ourselves in a way that is acceptable to the mind’s eye. Yours and mine. We can never know one another. Flashing lights. Behind a darkness born of Babylon. And we cannot see. We speak our truths in a way, still calculated for the audiences’ response. We speak rage. Love. And all things in [...]
“All” Women: Please Take A Seat
Yesterday, I was posed with a question about why I would repost a meme elevating Black women as the "Top Women". A sweet friend of mine felt she could not get on board with the idea, and that it was a further way to divide women....that "all women were top women." I assured her it [...]
A War on People: Black, Brown & Indigenous People
My beautiful siSTAR and favorite human (pictured above) can’t make it any clearer for you. Sure all lives matter. But all lives have not been under siege for centuries. There hasn’t been a war on all bodies, all minds, or all spirits. All lives haven’t been enslaved, or their ancestors enslaved. All lives didn’t build [...]
Cannabis vs. Presence
I’ve been sitting with a burning question. A client asked me this week how I felt about cannabis usage. This individual visited to me to discuss his trauma and generative ways to work through and with it. My first reaction was that I am absolutely against it’s prohibition--since it is deeply rooted in racism—that people [...]
Dreamfast With Me
People like to say, “Let the past die.” As if they are not aware that trauma, is like recurring movie. Played over and over. In every cell of our bodies. Deeply enmeshed in our ciphers. For trauma survivors, the past never dies. It is etched into the fabric of our beings. It enters and makes a [...]
Holistic Wellness…What They Won’t Tell You.
Pic: Himalayas-- Sikkim, India “Modern medicine, for all its advances, only knows 10% of what your body instinctively knows” (Deepak Chopra). They won’t tell you this of course. What they will do is create every humanly conceivable distraction in the world meant to keep us disconnected from our bodies, our intuitive abilities and our innate [...]
Acceptance is the Mantra
2018 shattered illusions. 2019 is about seeing without the veils, about moving from 3D to 5D thinking. As the midnight hour neared, they asked me what I wanted for the New Year. I had no answer. What I had wanted more than anything in 2018 did not come to pass. They say the sun always [...]
Self-Inquiry and the Scholarly Life
What is a scholar? They are someone who invests their curiosity, creativity, and full energy into discovering and mastering all there is to know about a thing. They take this thing, make it theirs and claim to hold all the secrets of wisdom regarding the thing. This curious inquiry is born of a passion, a [...]
A Special Place
Keeping it simple today, but sharing some questions burning in my soul.... What is it about the light of one woman that makes another shudder in the dark? Why do women compete with one another rather than grab each other by the hand, supporting one another in the complicated patriarchal narrative we exist in together? [...]
