Shifting Slowly

Rooting down while life shifts.<br>Here, I write through the ache, the questions, and the quiet becoming — learning to stand steady even when nothing feels certain.

Aparigraha-Non-Attachment

Truths on Losing a Baby

I didn’t want to fail but it wasn’t really up to me. When I was losing him, I swear I thought I was going to get to keep him. They told me they heard his heartbeat every time they put the monitor to my belly. You could hear his beautiful, strong heartbeat. He wanted out… — read more

Mind Trap

What am I doing it all for if everything I write remains in the dark? If the messages I receive I keep to myself? They’re doing no good up here and definitely no good on this scrap of paper. The messages are for now. Not for when my child finds them one day in an… — read more

Talk to your Kids

Growth is hard. It means shedding the things you are most comfortable with. Letting go of beliefs you’ve come to live by. Growing means getting uncomfortable in an already uncomfortable world. It means shedding layers of years of thoughts thought to be real. And letting go of people thought to understand you. It means letting… — read more

Tangents

If we are seriously too blind to see what is going on or too dependent on this world to fall into the trap of fear and anger, then we lose the battle. There is a war. There has always been a war, since the dawn of time, of good and evil. You can not at… — read more

Living Off Your Mat

Living off your mat is not the same as when you practice on your mat. You don’t do an hour of yoga and a 20 min meditation session and suddenly are floating through the rest of your day all Zen. This is not reality in anyway. For me, I began my yoga journey because of… — read more
