What Healing Could Mean.

To heal is to buy a plane ticket for a land about which we barely know anything but because it felt inspiring, to heal is to say something silly because the heart got carried away, to heal is to kiss a man whom we’ve just met because he said the three key words, and decide to trust the moment ...

Don’t Hold Back from Deeply Falling in Love.

I don't know about you, but I fall in love all the time. I fell in love the other day with a piece of handcrafted chocolate and a cup of coffee, the praises and sounds coming from within me, and the time I took to savor and enjoy, surely was just another kind of lovemaking. It was the most ...

I Won’t Bow Down to the Despair in This World.

We are the mothers of every single un-housed soul in the Middle East, floating on less-than-seaworthy vessels towards a new frontier.

6 Artists On Overcoming Fear And Creating Beauty.

Today I Marveled At The Beauty Of My Pain.

With a rush of adrenaline, I feverishly recalled all of the repetitive patterns that kept me stuck in this karmic loop. I rumbled with fear that ultimately influenced my fight or flight tendencies. I admitted to behavior that was no different from theirs. I wrestled with doubts and misgivings ...

I Am Letting Go.

I must have known before I was born that I am light. I am love and beauty, truth, and wisdom. I must have known. But I forgot. I forgot sometime when I was forming this human body shape in my mother’s womb. My mother who had so much anxiety and fear and insecurity of who she is and where she ...

My Magnetic Heart: Finding The Magic Within Me.

Love is not about possession. Beauty cannot be captured. I've been entranced by this idea of immortalizing the fleeting moments of joy in my life, but the pursuit of holding them has made me seasick, and nauseated with the butterflies of truth swimming inside me.
