I used to see my ideas as my own. Inspired by a spiritual realm—but my own, coming to me alone. Now I see how others in my inner and outer circle are going through a journey similar to mine. It makes me feel less like I am promoting my ego when I do something—like a … Continue reading Part of a Movement

Self-Love and Religious Observance: Are They at Odds?
If we have the divine within us, why did I grow up following religious rules at the expense of my own self-love? I'm not saying that I should worship myself. I am not saying that I AM G-d. But I have a piece of G-d within me. The kind of religion I grew up with … Continue reading Self-Love and Religious Observance: Are They at Odds?
Dopamine
Why you gotta make me chase you Make me scream Put a hold on all my dreams Ditch the members of my team Fill my mind with useless steam Make me swim a mile upstream Where is your wisdom I can glean Chasing a feeling, a sexy meme Living out my wounded child’s dream But … Continue reading Dopamine
Mama Needs Space
Early this morning the smoke detector went off. Yada yada yada. My daughter did wake up. Which meant my me-time in the wee hours of the morning was taken away. Being that I am currently processing 30 years of trauma and personal growth and evolution, I kinda need my me-time—now more than ever! She refused … Continue reading Mama Needs Space

I see your scarsI see your errors I see your fears I see your tremors You are more than the sum of your partsYou are more than the endless fragmentations of your broken heart When you feel broken, I see you, wholeWhen shackled to your bodyI see your soul

But I also remember, more faintly, around that time, having thoughts about how if I really look good, people will think I look too good. … Continue reading Boldly Beautiful

Prepping for it And challenging myself And growing And telling my friends about it And building my brand And blogging about it— Cuz it’s a topic and … Continue reading Stand Up Comedy Tonight
Maybe Marketing Doesn’t Suck
In a previous post (weeks ago) I wrote about how I love creating but I hate marketing my creations. The former is genuine, from the soul. The latter, is artificial, trying to take advantage of others' souls. Uch. Repulsive. And so, for years whenever I would market a book I wrote or an event I … Continue reading Maybe Marketing Doesn’t Suck
I’m a Cool Cat
As I process a lot of intense emotion and emotional wounds in recent weeks, I am finding myself to be more protective of my kitty. On the one hand, I want to let her out to play freely, to frolic in the beautiful nature. On the other hand, I want to put her in a … Continue reading I’m a Cool Cat
You Got This!
“Ok, let’s go somewhere else.” Did that group of four women just leave the area at the very moment I arrived? Holy, shit! My worst fear has finally manifested! And it only took 35 damn years. Of course, my first reaction was to second guess my recent actions...Was it the F bomb I dropped a … Continue reading You Got This!
