Surrendering to the Body
My scarcity mindset tries to kick up in times like this when I’m torn between Going and Doing vs Sitting and Being. The FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) monster thinks there’s some magic happening I can’t be part of. Instead of focusing on where I’m at and creating JOWID (Joy Of Whatever I’m Doing). The magic was right where I was at!
My basic pep talk for when my brain wants to do what my body is not available for is “What is for me will not pass me by.”
Atlanta Pride 2025
I have been to Atlanta Pride at least three times. The first one I remember mostly a Femme Mafia party in Rachael’s backyard with multiple kiddie pools and enough rainbow jello shots to cover Michael Anthony’s countertop in preparation. The event is fuzzy but I do remember pulling a Brandon Walsh and hiding a too-drunk-to-drive […]

Simple Self Care: Free Game from the Universe
I’m fond of saying that my spiritual practice is “free game from the universe.”
We are in a continually unprecedented time and facing uncertainty and instability. We have ancestors who have incarnated during other times in herstory that were unstable and difficult who have wisdom to share with us.
Since we have free will choice, we have to ask to be guided.
Returning to Los Angeles for the First Time Since I Moved Away
Five and a half years is a lifetime
Showing up Imperfectly is Such a Blessing
I’ve noticed Candy apologizing for not having more to offer to our group and I always think to myself how much her presence simply is a gift. Even if she didn’t have her various backgrounds she’s just a kind, thoughtful, present, fun human to share space with.
Spiritual Self Care Classes
Surrendering to the Divine mystery and opening myself up to spiritual help has created so much peace and ease for me, as I hope it will for you! It feels vulnerable to post about this because it’s so intimate. But as with everything on my blog, podcast and patreon it’s with the intention to help you, which helps me get through the vulnerability.
I Canceled My Audible Membership Here’s How I’m Doing Audiobooks Now
We are all doing the best we can where we are. A revolution isn’t a single event, it doesn’t even have to be a bloody war. It can be the radical act of all of us changing where just a small percent of our spending goes.
Gamifying Self Care with the Finch App
The Finch App is a daily habit tracker that goads one into self care activities so that you can buy your lil bird pet outfits and accessories for their birdhouse. I reflected on withdrawing my attention from Instagram & Facebook and using Finch for cheap dopamine in exchange for self care tasks. Recently I had […]
Grieving the Cat: What I Did to Process Releasing this Great Love
One thing I realized is that every time I lose one pet it’s like the grief for all the others becomes sharper. I don’t think we ever “get over” a loss that hurts deep. I think we get used to livinig life along with it and our joy practice gets bigger. Which means, since grief is like a spiral, we return to it at different places. My house felt so empty with no pets and that was a stark, lonely experience I had to be with.
Mutual Aid Idea: Dine and Dash
“Dine and Dash” where folks didn’t have time to do a whole gathering. The idea was there was a meal ready at the same time each week, folks could come through and eat, not have to do dishes and get a move on.

At this time in our collective history, this performance is empowering and culture shifting. My hope is it has a lasting effect on how we approach the coming revolution.
