The Sacred Alchemy of Shadow Work
Recognizing and embodying our light AND our shadow, our incredible joy AND our incredible pain, is what it means to embrace the experience of embodied life itself. And all of it is required to crack open and expand our energetic hearts.

Inspiration arises deep within, gestating in our dream state, growing slowly into conscious thoughts that eventually express through our words and conversations and finally we get to choose to tend them into form...or not!
Intertwining with the Divine
I have witnessed in my own life how fear, trauma, scarcity mentality, separation and deeply held beliefs around my ability to control my life’s experiences fractures me, closes down my heart’s connection to Source, to compassion and forgiveness of myself and others and to the truth of our Divine Nature—the truth that we are indeed all one and in this together.
Finding Peace (Amidst the Chaos)

The Way of the Rose
The more I fight and struggle and suffer, the more I create all that I am not.

Rose tells me over and over that what is in my highest good is indeed in the highest good for all.

Remembering Our Sovereign Selves
It’s time to stop watching the old world fall apart. Release what was. Accept what is, and then step up to help transmute our individual stories into one story and create together what will be.
Death of the Ego
The ego wants certainty. It clings to old stories and deeply held beliefs that it has constructed to make sense of the world. But our world, collectively and individually is evolving. There is no room for old paradigms of separation and scarcity. Uncertainty then is an invitation into the gift of the present moment where only infinite possibility exists.

Walking the Path (my Soul Intends)
We are human AND we are divine. We have a physical body AND a soul. Our hearts are our direct connection, our conduit, our navigation system, between the two parts.
Remember, You Are The Earth

Bee Balm—Sing it Sister!
Bee Balm has been supporting me this moon cycle as I take a good look at all the ways I allow fear to close down my heart, my dreams, my longings and my deepest desires.

Periwinkle—On the Edge of Growth
It is our nature to evolve and to grow, and it takes bucket loads of trust to surrender to an unseen creative force that is far greater than we can ever know, but that flows through, and desires to be expressed by each and every single one of us.
Love from Rose
I know that whatever happens in my life I can roll with it all. I can feel and embrace the joy and the pain because I know they are not separate, or opposite, but are instead the two wings of the same bird, lifting me up and carrying me along.
