Today my son told me that his favorite thing about me as a parent is that I make him feel seen.
(…um, I basically won a Parenting Oscar in that moment, amiright?)
To me, that should be our goal as parents.
Not getting them into the ‘right’ school or making sure they excel in their activities or showing them off to our friends… but giving our children the irreplaceable gift of feeling truly known.
I’ve spent the last decade learning how to know myself and I feel in my bones that that is how I’ve been able to transform into a parent who can truly know her child. I believe that when we have created that level of trust and intimacy (with ourselves first, and then with others), everything else can grow from that fertile soil.
Be willing to see and you shall be seen. Be willing to be seen and you shall see.

We are still in the dark half of the year.
The time to reset, to go within, until the reemergence of life when we arrive at spring. The seeds of life are only just beginning to stir under the soil…
Aries/March is the beginning of the zodiacal calendar (not Capricorn/January), and when I really tune into my body, it’s never until March when I feel the energy shift. But we’ve all been programmed by a calendar and culture that want us to think we should be pushing ourselves on January 1st, changing all our bad habits and charging forward into ‘the new year!’
Well, I reject that narrative.
I say no.
I will be still.
I will be soft.
I will listen.
I will wait for spring to arrive.

Do not take incarnation so seriously.
Ok to think you look cute in mirrors sometimes.

Mistakes.
You are perfect in your imperfection.
Try.

You’re in earth school, baby.
I took the boys to the first theater I ever performed at, in my hometown of Carlsbad, California.
I was 7, and the show was ‘An Afternoon with Mother Goose.’ It was my first audition and I think I got the lead of Mary primarily because I was small for my age, could read anything put in front of me and could remember all the lines without even really trying. I’m still that way (most of the time;).
I was a passionate performer from day one, recognizing this path as some sort of sacred calling that I was unable to turn away from.
I. Was. Obsessed.
And I will forever be grateful that my parents let me run with it! Thanks to the entire theatre community and all my teachers in Carlsbad for fostering my deep love and giving me a creative foundation to build a life upon.
