While in Costa Rica (my second solo trip – book yours now) back in January I was devoted to connecting to my goddess self. I wanted to truly understand the feminine experience on a level deeper than I knew it at that time. So as I always say if you don’t learn from the past […]
Self discovery
Bound
“Though her soul requires seeing, the culture around her requires sightlessness. Though her soul wishes to speak its truth, she is pressured to be silent.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype Okay this is a dark one. No red umbrellas. No birds carrying away the weights […]
Bloom Woman Bloom
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”-Anais Nin Spring has finally sprung. Mother Nature is giving birth. Old life is being reborn. Seeds that have laid dormant for a season now fight to find their way to the surface […]

Her name is Wild Woman, but she is..an endangered species.” -Clarissa Pinkola EstésWomen Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype Lately I’ve been wanting to write more […]
Today I Celebrate
Today is March 1. This is the month I celebrate reaching that huge milestone in a woman’s life. You know that number we are supposed to fear. The number that means it’s only down hill from here. The number that means our beauty is fading and our value is diminishing. Screw that. 40 or XL. […]

Fear: Part II
“Do something everyday that scares you.” Okay so I can’t remember where I read this but I didn’t come up with this idea. No credit to my brilliance:-) It is hard overcoming fears and putting yourself out there – raw and open. All masks down. All beautiful facets of yourself exposed. Guess what though? Once […]
Why This Journey?

I was at a low point by now. Homesick. Guilt ridden. Missing my kids. Exhausted from the night before. However […]
Love Letters To Your Tribe
When I left for my trip I had a plan. A very detailed plan which I’m very proud to say I followed. Not just a plan for the physical adventure but for the spiritual adventure. There aren’t any books from my research that outlines how to discover your best self in a period of 8 […]

Marionette
This was written in November of 2017 – 8 months ago. I’m in a much better place now and honestly when I read this I thought to myself – I didn’t write these words. I did and I’m damn proud of myself that I found my way out of this. To free myself I must […]
Into The Great Wide Open I Go
September I’m taking a trip that I had planned on taking thirteen years ago. Before marriage, two children and two careers I dreamed of exploring the west. I know not exotic or international but at the time I wasn’t thinking as big as time has now allowed me to dream. I just knew I thought […]
