Unseen Gifts. The "don't judge a book by its cover thing.

I’ve always been fascinated by the unseen gifts. We all look like humans, with two hands and a head, skin wrapping muscles and bones. Blood coursing through rivers within to keep us alive on planet Earth. Sure, maybe we costume it differently, do our hair in a certain way, or have different shades of eyes, skin, or hair. Many people put on a certain outfit to look more punk rock, more hipster, more creative director or tech….But ultimately the general package is pretty similar.  I love finding out about those things that surprise others— having a friend out at drinks break out into dance and you can tell they were trained and naturally talented in expressive movement. Or a coworker that busts out some tunes at karaoke night. Sure, he used to do theater, but now, he doesn’t have much use for his musical talents in his day-to-day life beyond the shower.  For some reason, I always find out people's hidden abilities…I look for them, I sense them. I love discovering them. It shows me more who they are, and what they've been dedicated to. I think we need to uncover them and celebrate them. I’d like us to find ways to value, enjoy and use them that aren’t tied to modern conventions of social media likes or making it a career.

Whispers of the Wind

A message from a gentle breeze on a silent island:  Breathe in my fragrance. Breathe in my invisibility.I’ve been around since the beginning of time. I just might know some things that you don't if you listen.

Self Tending in Tender Times.

We can't go over it, We can't go under it, We've got to go through it.I’ve been grateful to see somatic therapy where people understand the connection between physical pain and emotional experiences.I see more people facing their fears, and their physical pains as we realize that we Feel to Heal. I see you. I know how uncomfortable it is. I know sometimes the tears don’t feel like they will come to an end. I know the shakes, the trembles, the wanting to disappear or make it all just stop. But here we are facing a huge collective unraveling together.Many of us didn’t feel like the world was holding us safely to express and be the authentic and natural mess of human beings we can simply be. The snot, the puffy eyes, the lashing out, the puddle of ourselves don’t look great on social media. It’s not something that feels comfortable in a public cafe. haha. We’ve learned to run and hide, screaming or fighting and resisting the pain for good, dang reason. It hurts and doesn't always look nice. Many of us didn't know how to make that safe container when the world couldn’t and hadn’t. To stay with it. Yes yes. Stay with it the ouchies, the discomfort and the wanting to wriggle out of the skin... You all know this, but How is the question?

Transforming Heavy to Light: Soft spoken questions for Introspection

A guided medition of introspective questions to check in and learn how to transform your world and state of being here and now. Where are you right now? Are you firmly rooted in your own reality- the place of transformation?  Where else could you be? In the worlds created by others and viewed through a magic mirror? A black mirror? One of many screens? Yes. These are quite literally giving you access to remotely view a reality outside of yours. They’ve only existed for a generation or two and we’ve already take them for granted.
