Strolling while the river crawls . Shadowed branches waiver but don’t fall . Slip along dusty dress . Honey fishing – she does her best . Autumn whispers singing songs . The tune it plays within our bones . Come in and rest nourish create . The sun still shines and the winters wait . Dreams of leaving keeps me here . Presence patience for one’s so dear . Don’t move too fast . The times not slow . Savor each breath so gratitude grows . Thank you to autumn for the gentle reminders . To look to the leaves and take off the blinders .

Tornados of love . We stood in the crowd packed like sardines . Claustrophobia is not a stranger to me and I felt the panic creep while I found an escape route . Then I remembered the tornado of love that Caileen inspired me to turn to in times of anxiety . It rose from the ground and surrounded me entirely . The panic couldn’t touch me . I was protected by white light and love spinning from the roots up into the sky . This is my new favorite tool . So fuck ya for that . And fuck ya for Stevie Nicks and the wild women . Not just me – US .

Chicken feet bone broth : Sage . Lavender . Chard. Cilantro. Parsley . Lemon thyme . Celery . Carrot . ACV . Sea salt . Kombu . Cordyceps . Shiitake . Moringa .

Conversations about the power of the mind keep coming up . Mind over matter . We are what we believe . Affirmations – I am healthy I am resilient I am strong I am detoxing efficiently and effectively .

Disordered eating – I wonder what percentage of women experience this at some point in our lives – it has to be 90% at least – especially in America .. pressures to look a certain way .. based on unrealistic images that have been altered into falsehood .. can we all just love and appreciate our uniqueness a little more .. rub our belly’s with tenderness and gratitude instead of poking and pinching with wishes we were different .. patterns of Restriction and compulsiveness .. food can be our medicine .. our nourishment .. but for so many of us it becomes an enemy . . I don’t have the answers on how to switch this story . But the awareness has to be a good start .. softening when we notice .. comforting the part of us that has been conditioned to think we aren’t good enough unless we look a certain way – that we won’t be loved the same way if we don’t starve .. starving off individuality and expression and enjoyment in sharing a meal because our mind wanders to how we will sweat it off to “feel good” again . I don’t have the answers .. but meeting these sensations with love feels like a good start . Meeting compulsion with softness .. meeting restriction with nourishment . We all deserve to feel good in our skin . I love my body . I love your body . We are all uniquely beautiful .

Today I am grateful for : honey duh . Bone broth . Wonder . The sky . The sand . Running . Education . Candles . Warm breezes . Carnations .

Getting dreamy .. full moon in libra . Authentic living aligned with passion and purpose . I dream of simple living . Propagating and growing with the seasons . I dream of slow . I dream of honest and open connection and unwavering love . With a peaceful mind and in health with balance . I dream of moving back to the seasons to share what I’ve learned and then mixing it up . I dream of shared spaces and open doors . I dream of laughter and hugs . I dream of my spirit expanding in wholeness . Grounded and clear . I dream of seamless communication . Clear and effective . Teaching about our bodies and helping people come home . Inspiring others to connect more deeply with our well being and nature . I dream of sharing and being believed in. I dream of receiving back the support and encouragement I give to others . I love you. I believe in you. You are exactly where you need to be. It is all happening exactly the way is should . Focus on now . One step at a time .

Thoughts in response to conversations with women who are venting about their partners …What if we just loved each other and didn’t try to change anybody ? We’re all on our own journeys . Why would it be up to anybody else besides yourself to change ? We are all constantly evolving . Is love the best support we can give ? Loving someone enough to walk away ? Loving ourselves enough to recognize when it’s time . Holding up a mirror . If we’re made mostly of water and you can change the molecular structure of water by speaking kindness then how would we each respond if we used loving kindness to speak the shifts we long for ? What if we quit longing in the first place and recognized the beauty and uniqueness in front of us ? If we can’t see this then what is the point ? Hold up the mirror .

If we’re constantly focusing on self growth then we miss the chance to appreciate where we are and how far we’ve come . Healing doesn’t have to happen all at once . Zig zag zig . We’re only humans .

Why you rushin? Where ya going ? Towards your grave ? Sloooooow down . Breeeeeathe deep . Your here . That’s the only place you’re meant to be . You’re right on time . Be right here . ;; what would happen if we started doing this more? Becoming more intentional about where we’re at ? Listening . Coming home . Less rat race . More slow pace . Connecting more with the rhythms .

There’s dolphins in the mirror . Sunshine of a portal . Sisterhood always been so good . Such a dream to be . To see you in me . “Encanto. a dream of life . Margarita . Will you be my wife” .. Mexico w my woes. Stuck in line but feelin fine . “Fluid forever” .

Self care in this world has become beyond necessary for our nervous systems to be nourished and not overwhelmed . New moon eclipse . Yoni steam . Candles lit . Sage burning . Broth for dinner to ease my stomach after our trip to Mexico . My brain feels inflamed after being on campus so much lately . Trying to rewrite this story . I am resilient . I am safe in my environment and in my body . ::: this weeks patients have been so fun to work with – a mother with two young girls came in with mild depression scores – we recommended a homeopathic remedy and mindfulness exercises and she scored no depression this week . She had been experiencing that for years and now it’s gone for the first time . This was the exercise – tapping into the senses – 5 things you see . 4 things you hear . 3 things you feel . 2 things you smell . 1 thing you taste . You can do it anywhere at anytime . Taking deeper slower breaths while you do it .

Creativity calling . Showing up outside of the form of writing lately . Movement . Painting . Clay . Music . Vocals . Dreaming . How much of our physical symptoms are our karmic body looking for routes of communication ? To rest and recharge away from the rush. To listen deeper . Then what to do with the messages . To hear the call. To base actions accordingly .

Allow to fall away – chords that trick me . Patterns that aren’t mine . ::::: ready to be birthed – a new space for sharing CST . morning rituals that are intentional and start the day off on a note that feels in tune .::::.. where am I willing to let go & make room for newness : in my digestion and decisions around what I’m putting into my body . Letting go of a need to control outcomes and making room for trust . :::: feel a little deeper .. deepening the clarity of the channel . Eating lighter . Hydrating more . Daily movement with time in nature . Meditation *** ::: how could I soften – what area is clinging/clenching .. along with trust . Noticing tension and releasing it’s grips . Breathing into the pelvic floor . Releasing the jaw – letting the tongue drop from the roof of the mouth . Giving my eyes a break . I love you .

Feeling incredibly grateful . For our home . For our families . For friends . For sisterhood . For this life and the lessons that come when heart and minds remain open . For what nature provides . For connection and community . For slowing down and leaning into the simple things .

Rest is resistance . Making space to dream . Fuck the hustle .

So often I hear about this wagon people are falling off of . If you weren’t driving it who was? If you fall off wouldn’t it stop ? You can make the choice to hop back up on the damn wagon and keep truckin . There’s no rush . It can be at your own pace . Take as many breaks off the wagon you need . Healing karmic patterns can take time and trials and tribulations . No one expects it to be solved immediately . Its just a pleasant surprise when it happens fast like that .

I wonder if people that turn to religion are craving spirituality and connection but feel it’s more accessible to find that in someone else / outside of themselves instead of within ?

Is ask and you shall receive coming from straight privilege ? It blows my mind sometimes how the universe seems to provide when you get clear on what you’re ask for and remain present but why doesn’t this seem like the case for everyone ? The system is set up to keep some people feeling stuck . How to shift this . Be like Bruce Lee .

Today I’m rooting into clarity and decisions that serve my body’s highest good . One day at a time . Listen deep. Honor the ask .
