The Profound Grieving of my Feline Overlord
90% of deaths have some foresight, but our culture does a terrible job honoring death and preparing us for the inevitable changes in our lives.

Reorienting My Attention Away from Instagram and Facebook
“Research shows that multitasking social media can be as addictive as drugs, alcohol, and chemical substance abuse.” Social media interacts in our brain like HEROIN and cocaine, y’all.
Simple Self Care: Inner Child Check-in
My first life coach tried to get me to talk to my inner child with compassion and I truly could NOT speak to myself with compassion. Healing takes way longer than I expect and it’s better to just start, I’m so glad I started messy and inconsistent.
I Think I’m Addicted to Instagram Stories
I am feeling so proud of myself for doing this uncomfortable thing and releasing this addiction.
Instead of my Instagram time I have been: calling friends. Sending thoughtful texts with “You must believe in Spring.” Writing. Reading email newsletters, blogs and substacks.Watching Patreon videos and reading posts from creators I care enough about to pay to support! Reading Octavia E. Butler novels. Watching you tube videos of Brandi Marie Carlile!

An Entheogenic Journey with Prince
This is a spiritual experience with Prince Rogers Nelson, who has so much to teach us that we still get to have access to on the Earth plane. The art from this triple cd Prince put out in 2009 tells me he intended it to be for psychedelic experiences.
Spirit Told Me To is Enough of a Reason
Your intuitive action isn’t even going to be the most bonkers thing someone experiences that day, it’s likely less bonkers than half the stuff on Fox News. And also we are long past letting people thinking we are nuts keep us from doing the thing we know is right for us.
Most people who offer opinions on my life don’t have a life (or a self image) I would trade with them.
Having Needs, How Human of Me
I consider myself a ’62 Cadillac, either pastel pink or baby blue depending on my mood. But I maintain myself! And I’m getting better at it every day!

Your Inner Child Healing Playlist
That playlist connected me to a time when things were very hard, uncertain and painful for me as a child without anyone to guide me through it.
