New York makes me feel more alive than anywhere. I don’t have to stay long for it to throw me right into the heart of my wildest dreams. So many have come true here and some are still waiting on the edges of the yellow brick road. When I wonder why I don’t live here, I think of that Bukowski quote “Find what you love and let it kill you.” I think this city could kill me… but I would have done it… you know? Done it and died for it… that’s how I feel here… ready to die for it. … and that makes me cry for even more courage which I have no shortage of. I will say though, having Alice, giving birth to Alice felt and feels the same way… being ready and willing to die for her life, for the chance to be her mother, and to love that big… and there in lies the conundrum.

A dream came true for me last Sunday. We met a Blue Whale named Uno… the largest mammal in the world… most rare… gentle giant with a 1000 lbs heart. It was a cold and cloudy day. We changed our trip from 1pm to 3:30pm. You can only see the blue glow emanate off of their stone grey skin when the sun hits the ocean surface. Managing expectations, the guides acknowledged the gloomy weather, and said a sighting isn’t guaranteed, but if we do see a 30 or 40ft spray in the distance to let them know so we can race towards it and catch its dive… its tail. We were told there were four in the area, but none had shown their tail as of yet. When they reassured we’d likely see dolphins… I knew in my gut I was there for the Blue Whale… they migrate through the California coast two weeks out of the year (some years) and they were here. This animal has intrigued me throughout my life. To see it now… after so much family healing…after my brother’s passing and the depth of forgiveness, loyalty, and love his transition unearthed… this was yet another sacred connection with natural medicine I didn’t expect. Uno had an injury… part of his tail was missing so his dives were shallow and he moved slowly… he needed to use his tail to dive for krill… after his first dive they told us he may not show again for another 12 to 20 minutes and depending on how fast he moves, that may have been it. 5 minutes later, the sun came pouring through the clouds and his spout sounded right beside our boat. The blue glow was like nothing I could have imagined. Dave, our guide told us to put away our phones and enjoy it, and that he would take drone shots for us. The beauty was almost overwhelming. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, he showed his tail again! I took out my phone… and again… this time I captured Alice’s joy. I feel honored to be able to share this experience with you. If you ever have the chance, @newportcoastaladventure is well worth the trip. “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Thank you Uno. You opened my heart into greatness, slowness, grace, beauty, strength, loyalty, connection, wisdom, and the vast unknown. #keepouroceansclean

Peace and love from my living room… Lately, I have felt like the world I see here on IG is not the world I want to perpetuate. There is light and love everywhere I look as much as there is darkness and disgrace. The block set we are playing with in these photos is called “women who dared”… dared to rebel for love, speak truth, share wisdom, and new ways. My gorgeous white wolf-like-creature commonly referred to as a dog is so calm in these photos and yet she digs up the garden, escapes, causes upheaval in the community and like any child she inconveniently demands attention, but she is a part of us and lives for these lazy hours of nothingness and togetherness. So excited to learn that in the 6th grade I played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Alice wanted to dress up as Dorthy and “practice” to send my school friends from Winnipeg a karaoke video. Her purity and the song itself brought me to tears as I realized how formative and prevalent Somewhere Over the Rainbow remains to my spirit. I now host women’s circles and have for two decades to bring us in closer touch with our creative and healing natures… home to ourselves. The learning is age old to face our own darkness to find our way through to self-realization/freedom, but also that we are not meant to be alone. Our unique paths and gifts are essential to the whole. We are designed to find beauty in our pain by sharing. I hope this post inspires your own softeness and slowness this weekend… to remind yourself that you can find your way back home. In the YouTube lineup after the kareoke video, a post of my now husband Kevin and I singing together randomly popped up. I hadn’t seen it since before Alice was born and needed to… to be reminded of the original bond between us that has bore so much fruit in spite of incredible challenges and heartbreaks… the song, too, is about mother love… unconditional love… where we come from before the confusion… a return home. And finally, an exercise I offered to the women in my circle last week: Write yourself a letter of encouragement from your Dreamer. We all need to feel less lost. What if you were right where you belong? Give yourself some recognition.

I now host women’s circles and have for two decades to bring us in closer touch with our creative and healing natures… home to ourselves. The learning is age old to face our own darkness to find our way through to self-realization/freedom, but also that we are not meant to be alone. Our unique paths and gifts are essential to the whole. We are designed to find beauty in our pain by sharing. I hope this post inspires your own softeness and slowness this weekend… to remind yourself that you can find your way back home. In the YouTube lineup after the kareoke video, a post of my now husband Kevin and I singing together randomly popped up. I hadn’t seen it since before Alice was born and needed to… to be reminded of the original bond between us that has bore so much fruit in spite of incredible challenges and heartbreaks… the song, too, is about mother love… unconditional love… where we come from before the confusion… a return home. And finally, an exercise I offered to the women in my circle last week: Write yourself a letter of encouragement from your Dreamer. We all need to feel less lost. What if you were right where you belong? Give yourself some recognition.
Peace and love from my living room… Lately, I have felt like the world I see here on IG is not the world I want to perpetuate. There is light and love everywhere I look as much as there is darkness and disgrace. The block set we are playing with in these photos is called “women who dared”… dared to rebel for love, speak truth, share wisdom, and new ways. My gorgeous white wolf-like-creature commonly referred to as a dog is so calm in these photos and yet she digs up the garden, escapes, causes upheaval in the community and like any child she inconveniently demands attention, but she is a part of us and lives for these lazy hours of nothingness and togetherness. So excited to learn that in the 6th grade I played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, Alice wanted to dress up as Dorthy and “practice” to send my school friends from Winnipeg a karaoke video. Her purity and the song itself brought me to tears as I realized how formative and prevalent Somewhere Over the Rainbow remains to my spirit.

Looking forward to another LIVE today 10amPST… The key to unlocking new ways through our current circumstances in closer alignment with our soul’s unique genius and reason for being lies within our imagination… we must honor and engage with the imaginal space… dreamscapes… creativity… apparitions… in order to thrive and radiate our light in our being state. We cannot change our reality necessarily but we can absolutely engage with it in a more authentic, loving, creative and intentional way… we must never lose touch with our visions and higher perspectives… ironically, it’s by allowing for big ideas, grand visions of our own power to change our lives or impact the lives of others, that creates awareness of the distance between our lived experiences and the unknown (what we hope for or dread or sense or desire) to strengthen our tolerance of that space between worlds (known and unknown) actually grounds us and keeps us humble… and that humility is essential to keep our egos in check, our magic potent, our imagination flowing, and ourSelves engaged with life with an innocent and open heart… that is when true revelation occurs… with genuine courage and hope. I would love to hear about any dreams you’ve been experiencing and what messages you sense they could be holding for you… for US.
