Making Space To Hold The Pain: Midwives For The Birth Of Healing.

Vulnerability, Shame & Society: Let Us Be More Open With Each Other.

I believe the shame is here for many reasons, too many to name in one article, but one of them being a deep-rooted systemic fear that if we all lived our lives connecting with each other from a place of love and openness, compassion and respect, rather than the fear, criticism, and judgment ...

A Holler From The Heart In 2016.

No more of how to do, become, or get happier in 2016. No more of let go of or incorporate this or that. I’m into the minimalist concept that is everything there ever was: self-love. I guess it is my list of one. May we indulge in it and saturate ourselves.

Are You Ready To Dive Off Your Mental Cliff Edge?

If the journey were easy, everyone would do it. You have to muscle your way past the naysayers, the doubters, and the people who tell you jumping is crazy. They will judge you with their looks, tell you to your face, whisper behind your back, and block you at every turn. But if you listen ...

I Know What I’m Looking For… And I Will Know When It’s You.

I cannot dream up the way your body will mold into mine or the way your voice will fill every empty piece of me. My imagination can’t go far enough to know what home will smell like, but I know I’ll find it buried in your embrace.

How Motherhood Purified My Ego And Gave Me Hope For A Better Future.
