The Language of Love

The Language of Love

I recently saw a picture of ex #2 on FB. He looks great. Amazing actually. The feeling? It made my heart happy. It actually burst open for him. I know he’s struggled with his sobriety and he looks like he’s in a really good place. I thought to send him a note, but I...

The Road Ahead

The Road Ahead

Earlier this week I walked into the machine that is cancer treatment. Both my primary doctor and my naturopath (Dr. N) want me connected with an oncologist (Dr. O), in case low-dose chemo is called for as part of my breast cancer treatment. As I waited for my...

Beyond Convention

Beyond Convention

We think of the conventional world is the things we can see. Yet, there's so many things beyond convention that directly affect the visual and energetic world in which we live. When we look at a complete ecosystem, that's where we start to find more of the answers of...

Would You?

Would You?

A door that opened for me two weeks ago closed the other day. I was excited with the possibility to work with a clinic in Houston. Three doctors sat across from me during my consultation. A proven cancer treatment beyond the “traditional” radiation and chemo....

The Cancer Within

The Cancer Within

This is the cancer within my body. One night, it asked to be seen. So, as I do with much of my art, it intuitively drew and then colored itself. Entitled, The Cancer. It’s been named and drawn because it’s very real. In the past, it’s been easy to disassociate from...

This Isn’t Necessary

This Isn’t Necessary

This is the message that kept coming to me while I was away between surgeries. Many times, when I hear a message, it’s a singular whisper into my consciousness. This one though wouldn’t let me be. I heard it but didn’t know how to move through it or what it fully...

The Game of (L~) IF (~E)

The Game of (L~) IF (~E)

When I was young, I loved to play the board game by the same name. We’d spin the wheel, anticipate where we wanted to land, and made tradeoffs between career and adventures. We played for the fun of the experiences and hated when illness set in. A board game created...

Chasing the Margins

Chasing the Margins

It’s been a quiet week. Post-surgery, there’s been anesthesia brain where my mind didn’t feel like focusing or thinking. My eyes either. It was news to me that they tape your eyes shut during surgery. In a way it makes sense, to not startle the surgeon or nurses with...

As I Lay Me Down to Sleep

As I Lay Me Down to Sleep

As a young girl, I was instructed to say my prayers before going to sleep. It was a nighttime ritual that goes back many generations. I can see myself kneeling in front of my bed and saying: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I should die...

When It’s Not Benign: The Gift of Love

When It’s Not Benign: The Gift of Love

I’ve been in judgment of my body for as long as I can remember. There’s a saying that when I point a finger, three are pointing back at me. In this case though, when I’m in judgment of some aspect of self, it’s not just four fingers pointing at me, it’s me pointing at...
