Healing takes time. Healing is never finished. Healing leaves scars that no amount of silicone scar patches can remove but we need those scars to remind us of how far we’ve come from what wounded us, what contained us and what sent us into fetal position. Why am I rambling about scars today? In 2015 […]
Self discovery
What to Read…
I’m currently writing my memoir that spans 2015-2019 that shares my journey with mental illness and my struggle to find me. I thought I would share part of the book (Chapter 4) that I’m removing because it’s not meant to be a self help and giving a list of suggestions of what to read would […]
The Raven
I typically don’t share too much about my art – just the actual piece as I love giving the people the freedom to relate in their own personal way – but I have to talk about the piece. It has meant two different things to me – what I thought I as creating and what […]
Say Yes to Going Solo
I still get questions about my solo trip which is crazy to think was almost a year ago. I’ve since went on another one to Costa Rica and will be going to a yoga retreat by myself in October. I opened a can of worms with this first solo trip. I have been asked by […]

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?
This time a month ago I was starting my adventure. I had conquered San Francisco and had attended my first concert solo but this time I was beginning my nine hour journey in the desert. I was at a low point by now. Homesick. Guilt ridden. Missing my kids. Exhausted from the night before. However […]
