Tis The Season: Agreements With Wisdom
Tis the season. Not just for twinkling lights, full calendars, and the kind of busy that makes time blur — but for remembering who we are when we are centered. For choosing what we say yes to. For letting our spirit lead, instead of our pressure, fear, or habit. I’ve been thinking a lot about agreements lately. We make them every day — some loud and obvious, others barely whispered in the quiet of our thoughts. We agree to show up. We agree to shrink. We agree to settle. We a

Tis the Season
Today I’m writing to my blog readers again because I feel called to share something real. For almost a year, I stepped out of the busy world and into myself—uninterrupted. I shed. I cried. I sat in meditation and prayer. I connected with like-minded people who understood the language of growth and healing. I even welcomed visits from my ancestors through dreams and travel, letting their presence guide me in quiet ways I can’t ignore. I walked firmly out of old agreements that

The Masters We’ve Become
We don’t always realize it, but every day we are mastering something. Sometimes we master things that nourish us — patience, presence, compassion, resilience. And sometimes, without noticing, we master things that drain us — self-doubt, people-pleasing, fear, overthinking, survival mode. We become experts at the patterns we repeat, even the ones that hurt. And why? Because of the agreements we’ve made — knowingly or not. I am so aware now of agreements in my life, the ones I

The Release
A Moment of Surrender There’s a quiet, almost secret moment when life finally breathes with you, a moment that feels both profound and transformative. It's that delicate instant when all the pieces that once seemed stubborn, heavy, or unattainable start to align seamlessly, as if they had been waiting patiently for your agreement all along, ready to unfold into a beautiful tapestry of existence.

The Art of Letting Go: Returning to the Self That Waited for Me
In my quite work of healing, I’ve discovered that I am both the wound and the healer. The next step is not in finding more love outside of me, but in releasing everyone I once made responsible for my deepest pain. For my breathe when I couldn't catch it, my heartbeat when it skipped, my peace when it was interrupted. I needed the Love for me to be stronger than the pain I was f

We Are the Conduits for Change
There comes a point in the healing journey when you realize: You are not waiting for change — you are the conduit for it. Through the steady practice of mindfulness and inner healing , transformation begins to happen quietly at first. Then one day, you notice — the way you speak, the way you touch, the way you listen — something sacred is flowing through you. The words that leave your lips are softer. Your actions are more intentional. Even the energy you bring into a room fe

The Path We Know, The Path We Choose
Every day is a new journey. Not in the sweeping, cinematic sense—but in the quiet, often overlooked moments where we decide how to show up. We light the candle. We brew the tea. We whisper our intentions. And still, the old ways linger. We can be devoted to our new practices—rituals that nourish, habits that heal—but if we don’t tend to the soil of our mindset, those practices can become performative. We find ourselves walking the same well-worn path, even while holding a map

When Grace Knocks Softly
Last week, I was caught in a storm I didn’t see coming. It rose quietly, then crashed with a force that left me breathless, unsteady on my feet, the earth lightly shaking, with my heart skipping beats. I had just been moving through a new rhythm of caregiving, tending to my husband’s healing with steady hands knowing my soul was stretched thin, but feeling I had caught hold of a new pace and had steady hands again. Just as the storm threatened to swallow me whole, a lifeline
