I’m often looking for someone to be. Someone smart, someone evolved, knowing, clever, happy, light, trying to appear joyful. I want to put on an air of confidence. I try to grasp something, an idea of how I want to be perceived. What hat should I wear? What will they think of me? How do … More a/voi/dance
to make at peace
December 23, 2020
A few years ago, in the middle of a warm summer day, I was in the spare bedroom of our 4th floor condo with the window open. I heard a couple of neighbor ladies talking in the parking lot. I didn’t pay much attention to their conversation when I heard one of them sigh and … More to make at peace
dissolving inner resistance
November 9, 2020
She tossed back one side of her long hair, her dimpled cheeks looked rosy and fresh. She smiled and turned a sly eye slightly toward the camera showing a hint of coyness and anticipation. That was how she started her Facebook video. I didn’t watch more but the image and her delivery stuck with me. … More dissolving inner resistance
Solidarity in Love…Standing in the Light
August 26, 2020
It was as though I was too much for people. I don’t know, but that’s how it felt. They became ghosts. They hid. They ran. They turned away. I’d reach out to a few people from my past and the response? crickets. I shared what I’d been living and what was happening in my life. … More Solidarity in Love…Standing in the Light

But honestly, the inner journey cannot be more important and is … More The upheavals and gems along the spiritual path
When we deny fear…
August 6, 2020
Sometimes, in moments of fear, I disconnect from my feelings and I ‘pretend’ everything is fine. It was never a conscious choice to ignore it, I just didn’t know what to do with it otherwise. When I caught myself feeling awkward in the moment that fear crept in, it wasn’t the fear that I felt … More When we deny fear…
living with thy self
April 13, 2020
These are definitely interesting and challenging times…being sequestered to our homes. No roles, titles or importance to be assumed in the world and no brave face to wear. As though a perfect test has been created and when I feel like I cannot live with myself for one more minute I have to find humility, … More living with thy self
Loving ourselves
October 29, 2019
A quote by Anita Moorjani was posted on social media :“your soul’s purpose will come out loud and clear as you love yourself more”. When I read this post I was thankful to be in a place where loving myself exists. What struck me was a comment from a woman who responded “how do we … More Loving ourselves
when you feel
October 17, 2019
When you are feeling overwhelmingly isolated living in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language and your husband says he’s going to run errands, you burst into tears and say you’re going for a walk anyway. He stops what he is doing. He stands still and he looks at you for longer than … More when you feel
