29 Days of Kindness

At the start of 2024, I looked to inner guidance to formulate intentions for the year and received the words, kindness and grace: kindness as I interact with each person (including myself) and grace in each circumstance or in the face of challenges. For the past two weeks, the question “What does kindness look like?”…

Prophesy

A prophesy is a story. Most people are familiar with prophesy as a prediction of future events. But prophesy is also described as “religious instruction”. Nobody really knows where prophesy comes from, as these stories bend scientific rules pertaining to the nature of space and time. Some prophetic transmissions are received verbally. Others come through…

The Calling: Part 2

This post will make more sense if you read The Calling: Part 1 first.  The year before my soul quest journey, our family was visiting the colonial town of Antigua, Guatemala, before spending a month living on Lake Atitlan. Little did I know, one seemly innocuous event would create a subtle shift that would change…

The Calling: Part 1

In early 2018, my friend Dee had given me the book Soulcraft by Bill Plotkin. As that was the year I’d be turning 50, the concept of embarking on a wild, crazy, rendezvous of the soul sounded like a fun way to embrace the journey to elder-hood. Dee and I decided to sign up for…

Impressing vs. Expressing

Sex Will Heal The Planet

A new healing modality is emerging, one that is so profound, it will change the way humanity thinks of sex, love and relationship.

Are You Called to Ceremony?

Ceremony has had its roots in every culture, throughout all of human history. Whether honoring birth, death, marriage, rites of passage, or the changing of the seasons, ceremony marks the passage of time and provides context to our lives. In indigenous cultures, many of these traditions include the ceremonial use of plant-based medicines. The United…

Hidden Agreements

Just over two years ago, my husband and I went through a divorce… and I have yet to go on a date. I told myself many stories as to why that was the case. First, I simply wasn’t interested in dating. Then, a highly itinerant lifestyle prevented me from developing close relationships. When I finally…
