:: flaws, filters + being the flower in the field that’s worthy of more water :: i’ve been going to the buttonwood farm sunflower field for the past five or so years every time i go alone — a sacred solo exploration + witnessing of the blooms + what they want me to see first time was on a whim, […]
:: what the hell i’ve been up to these past few years (and 3 hot tickets for you or the entrepreneur in your life) :: my condolences to anyone who’s had the mild misfortune of asking me what i do for a living since i left teaching back in 2018 i promise — i haven’t been TRYING to be vague […]
:: language, expertise, systems of oppression + stymies :: i’ve always loved to write and had some sorta way with words, in service of poetry and persuasion, self-expression and communication of information i’ve spoken often and with ease, in front of classrooms, on stages, on camera. to individuals and groups — of handfuls, roomfuls and schoolfuls, made up of students, […]
:: sometimes the things you say no to are great: refining your yeses and nos :: i’m a big fan of following the yeses that we’ve been told to ignore or avoid and in order to have spaces for those yeses, we need to speak some intentional nos, too sometimes it’s easy to know where our best nos should go […]
:: problem solving for peace instead of perfection (lessons from my laundry) :: does anyone even use collapsible clothes-drying racks anymore? not sure if mine makes me more old maid or college kid, but for the past month or two (or maybe it’s been more like five, pandemic time-melt is real), it’s been straight up kicking my ASS. it’s made […]
:: why you don’t have a self-care problem (even if you’re not a mani fan) :: yeah… self-care is so hot right now. and rightfully so. with the year we’ve all had, there’s actually truth to the ole “no better time than right now” invitation to up your self-care game, stat. one of the workshops i love to lead stresses […]
ever find yourself sitting in front of the tv or your laptop, numbly scanning from one streaming service to the next, feeling like even with the almost absurd amount of choices in front of you, there’s still nothing “good” to watch? what if you were to take the fact that nothing was catching your fancy as a cue — not […]
:: got self-love? try a new way in :: got self-love? if only it were as simple as swinging down to the corner store for a carton of milk you can easily hold in your hand but it’s not nearly as grabbable as that self-love is a wonderful thing to advocate for, something absolutely lovely to aspire to. hell, it’s […]
:: what self-trust isn’t (and why it matters in the midst of a pandemic) :: Self-trust and pandemic… not necessarily a PB&J-level pairing at first glance. In fact, a pandemic — this one in particular — may seem to call for a little less trusting of selves and a hell of a lot more trusting of educated experts. But the […]
:: desperate times call for these measures :: This is kind of an asshole question, but have you ever found yourself overworked, overwhelmed, stuck, scared and spent — ready to sell your soul for a solution that would bring some peace? Like I said, kind of an asshole question. The answer is likely yes, and if it’s not — now […]
