I was born at 3:05 AM on August 8th, 1992, 27 years ago to the moment that this post was published. As a child, I remember my parents (my dad was the ringleader on this) coming into my bedroom just after 3:00 AM every year, and waking me up to have our own mini-celebration at …
Thanksgiving Letters
In the fifth and sixth grade, I was gifted with a teacher who challenged me in my writing for the first time. Up to that point, I had only ever received praise from teachers who were impressed with accelerated writing skills. That’s what happens when you start keeping a journal and writing stories on your …
Witchy Warrior Wednesday: Rituals
In the aftermath of the shooting here in Pittsburgh, I am still struggling to be my best self while it feels the world is falling apart around me. Yet, I know that our little efforts and acts of kindness, our perseverance to keep trying to figure it out, is what is going to save the …
Thanks, Giving, Love
To say I feel loved today, it just doesn't cut it. Do you ever wake up and just feel so sure, so reassured, and steady that you just breathe and enjoy it? At this time in my life when things are ever-changing and busy, these moments of clarity are so few and far between that …
Day #5, Scatter Your Gratitude
Hey peeps! Here's your daily dose of gratitude. Enjoy! I was raised in a house where pleases and thank yous were expected, waited for, and taught. Still, as an adult I know there are people in my life I passively forget to thank, or socially don't know to thank. Have you ever received a message …
Day #4, Your View
Monday morning, and we're back at it! For those of us who had a little vacation, we're back to work and probably more focused on Christmas (or whichever upcoming holiday is stealing your focus) than we were last week. There are things waiting for you on your desk, tasks dying to be taken care of …
Day #2, Share the Gratitude
Good morning, and happy Saturday. The holiday rush is probably over. Maybe you're already home or headed home today. Either way, happy Day 2 of our journey! Today, I want you to look around and notice those people closest to you. They might be the ones you see at home, or the people you rely …
Day #1, gratitude list
Good morning readers and light-seekers! Day one’s task is a simple list, we're starting slow. All day long, I find myself rattling off complaints, both in my head and out loud. It’s cold, I’m hungry, Is it time to go home yet? We vocalize the issues, the holes, because as a community we are geared …
Weird, Not Weird.
My friend and fellow yogi, Alyssa, has a phrase she uses to describe the endless coincidences and connections that surround her life. She says things are “weird, not weird.” You know when people say, “sorry, not sorry?” They’re acknowledging that socially it’s probably the right thing to be “sorry” and yet they are not.
Mind, Body & Spirit: A journey of self-love
Being a woman is hard. Being alive is hard. I can't speak to what it is like to be a man, or what it is like to be dead, but these two things I know to be true. In childhood, things seemed much simpler, but as we grow we are exposed to the realities and …
