Caption : Waaaay too much fun behind the scenes shooting some images for the @lifeafterproject with @makeupartistmana and @hair.by.hare this was the most sane I looked all day. And I haven’t smiled as much and played this much on a shoot in a long time. Silly to follow…

Caption : Activities for single mums with teen boys in what I call ‘A Turducken of Trauma’ aka war, a pandemic, climate crisis, the rise of fascism…I could go on. What I chose this weekend was a break/rage room and axe throwing. And it was awesome. Active engagement with our inner wild ones, our fears and frustrations and the visceral satisfaction of breaking things whilst doing no harm to anyone. It was perfect shadow work. I don’t know why the axe throwing felt like second nature to me. I had such alignment with it that as the axe left my hands each time I knew in my body with 99.99% surety whether it would hit the target or not. It was a surprising clarity. An almost startling quality of presence. I wondered if that’s what athletes feel when they are in flow. Except they’ve trained. They’ve practiced. Their whole lives. This was my first time doing the thing. Are the inbuilt physics of axe throwing so specific and innate that when you’re on it’s a completely embodied knowing? Or was I a Viking in a past life? Do I now need to attend Ren fairs? Is axe throwing an Olympic sport???

Caption : “Hey Bubble” A moment in time where now fully vaxxed, I whisk a bestie away for a mini adventure down by the sea. A bestie whom I sometimes endearingly nickname bubble- and whose superstar dog I also sometimes call bubble-who both have also comprised the entirety of my COVID bubble, and in this moment of newfound and slightly daunting freedom we find ourselves walking into a sea of…bubbles. What a year. What a friendship. What a thing a bubble be. Bubbles can be made of dish soap and formed from wind and rope by some dude dispensing fleeting moments of joy, for a tip. They can be formed in global pandemics with someone you can truly trust with your life when suddenly other people- even those you know and love – can through no fault of their own, or through denial, become a threat to your personal safety. Bubbles can hold an emergency trip to the vet for a dog that somehow one fateful night beats all the odds and continues to exceed expectations. Bubbles include emergency blasting of the Peter Gabriel song from the John Cusak movie from my car and across an unsuspecting street. And the witnessing of the precise moment the Christmas lights turned on at Christmas Tree Lane; the loud Aahhhh that spontaneously followed in stereo. There’s falling on the ground in tears after our first CDC sanctioned hug. The moment realizing that it was mini bubble’s first time experiencing the ocean. Bubbles can be the effervescent people we love who encapsulate joy like onomatopoeia in motion. The gratitude they inspire might very well keep a heart open long after the dude with the soapy rope packs up for the day. I thank everything holy for my…bubble. Hey, Bubble. Hey.

Caption : Cabs and Cooking London 2018 I said farewell to a challenging year in a great way- donning my drag-lite garb that makes me feel my most me, to venture out with a gorgeous cousin I haven’t seen nearly enough, to a fun party. We’d given each other and ourselves permission to hate the night and scurry home early if needed, and ended up home not long before sunrise. It was my one night off in a stretch devoted otherwise to taking care of one of my absolute favorite people who is braving chemo. My antidote for the poison coursing through her veins is all the ways my creativity can express my love and gratitude for her, primarily though, through my cooking. Healthy clean food, bone broths etc. Food as a “love language” though not specifically listed in the books, is a biggie for me. My mum worked late. I craved time with her as a teen. Once she was home from work after doing research in the lab all day, I would sit in the kitchen as she “threw the dinner on”. If memory serves she would explain a bit of the science behind her cooking methods. I learned to cook this way. And now I’m applying all I’ve learned over the years Cooking for her older sister in London, continuing the female lineage of food made with love and as a means for connection. For the past ten years food has been my primary medicine. I pass on now what I can and pray it serves. My eyes welled up as I was making lunch the other day as I thought about what my aunty means to me. “Good,” I thought, “ let that feeling go into this dish. Let her feel in the food what I feel for her, how precious she is to me.” She loved that meal. She’s still talking about it. “Don’t forget that one, so you can make that again” “ I have no idea how I made it. “ ( as long as there’s love in it there will likely be no complaints) I’ve got my feet up right now in a rare resting moment while I wait for my potatoes to get crispy, While the 12 hr Kleftiko (slow roasted lamb) rests a tad. My diet is mostly plant based though I occasionally have some lamb and today is a special treat. I’m about to return to LA. To soften the inexorable grief of my departure for us both, (Continued in comments)

Caption : So I did some work in my airstream yesterday. It got hot so I took off my sweater. Then it got really cold when I came inside to get food and it was laundry day. No food around worth eating so I’d have to order something. Not many clothes around on laundry day, so the only thing I could find with sleeves that was clean was this shirt. Now, just before I meant to throw out this shirt, that at the time last year had two holes I’d thought,” I wonder how they make those shirts at the markets with the torn lines across them?” Rather than looking that up online as a normal person would do, I just went for it and then cast the unsurprisingly failed attempt back into the cupboard possibly to be lost in there for years. ( I don’t know why I didn’t throw it out. Perhaps so I could have this very moment) Though find that “shirt” I did, yesterday eve and I popped it on. And even though it provided no warmth I forgot I was wearing it. Until I ran a hot bath and caught sight of myself. Then I remembered the delivery guy’s face when I’d stepped out nonchalantly to receive my food. The dude had looked pale and was stammering. Had I been ravaged by a tiger whilst diy-ing? Or had this super hungry chick tried to make one of those shirts from the markets with the torn lines and tie thingies and clearly not succeeded? I guess he’ll never know though two things are for certain. This is bad porn. And delivery dude? You’re welcome.

Caption : With PTSD comes a lot of trapped energy in the body that is wanting to move. In fact, that’s really what ptsd is; stuck energy with its own intelligence; it loops because it’s trying to get our attention. It’s trying to move, to find an exit. •If you’re like me, you don’t want to feel or re-experience the discomfort or pain that’s trapped, so absent the right tools we can slip into habits of numbing and/ or dissociating in ways that are not sustainable long term. •For years I carried a lot of bracing in my muscles and a lot of undigested freeze in my soma. •I have learned there are tools that can facilitate thawing my freeze. And they don’t have to break the bank. •Heat is a big resource for me— Epsom salt baths, using an infrared sauna, building a fire. Body heat is a fave though obviously during covid, touch for me, and many others has been scarce. •My body yearns for the heat so much I would sit *in* my fire pit directly *on* my fire if I could do it safely. So I get as close as I can, and I rotate my body like I’m on a spit, and I slow roast my way back to comfort, embodiment and wholeness. /1 Continued in comments. •Fire as a Resource / Tool at the Nervous System level: When we are healing from traumas, attending to the body and what’s trapped in it can be overwhelming, and being in pain in our bodies can feel super lonely . So we need loving tools that can be administered in a titrated fashion— little by little— so as not to take us back into the overwhelm, and ideally help us to not feel so alone in our suffering. •In Somatic Experiencing, Resources are a wonderful way to help clients ease back into the body and support it to do what it is designed to do: flush out tension. •External resources are anything that make us feel a sense of aliveness, or more expansive, grounded, perhaps a feeling of relative safety ( after many years of our nervous system likely not experiencing or knowing safety). Resources can be found in nature, music, books, friends etc. /1 continued in comments

Caption : COVID and lockdown sent me into survival mode. And then my inner homesteader emerged. Primal provider panic brought me to vegetable gardening. And then my friend and conscious producer from the pixie realm @ginstar introduced me to foraging: @growforagecookferment and @pascalbaudar Once out of fight or flight I started to see my garden less as another daunting responsibility (amongst many others as a single mother in a pandemic), and more as the extraordinary ally and resource that Mother Earth is. I marveled at the medicine my wild and weedy nasturtiums could be, and they agreed to transform into pesto. I harvested orange blossoms and rose petals just before they fell and pink peppercorns once fallen, and they simmered their way into hedge-witch jellies. Lilac honey became gifts for my separated clan. Jalapeño honey has followed. Foraged chai tea with pine needles and pink peppercorns is probably not everyone’s cup of tea though it proudly has been mine. After years of feeling my pain and my bombastic and needy complex ptsd—as it has presented and looped through my heart, mind, body and spirit—this new hobby has brought me to feeling humble, grateful, enchanted and quiet. I have access to the subtle yet powerful intelligences of things growing just outside my door. And after years of my traumas teaching me falsely to believe that feeling bad was right, I now feel peace and satisfaction as I tinker in my kitchen. It’s a sign of my healing that I am playing and creating this way—I marvel that I am able to be available to it—to put time and energy into it —and what pleasure it brings because it is sustainable, generative and beautiful. #plantmedicine #foraging #ptsd #cptsd #downregulation #sustainability #homesteading #hedgewitch

And then my friend and conscious producer from the pixie realm @ginstar introduced me to foraging: @growforagecookferment and @pascalbaudar Once out of fight or flight I started to see my garden less as another daunting responsibility (amongst many others as a single mother in a pandemic), and more as the extraordinary ally and resource that Mother Earth is. I marveled at the medicine my wild and weedy nasturtiums could be, and they agreed to transform into pesto. I harvested orange blossoms and rose petals just before they fell and pink peppercorns once fallen, and they simmered their way into hedge-witch jellies. Lilac honey became gifts for my separated clan. Jalapeño honey has followed. Foraged chai tea with pine needles and pink peppercorns is probably not everyone’s cup of tea though it proudly has been mine. After years of feeling my pain and my bombastic and needy complex ptsd—as it has presented and looped through my heart, mind, body and spirit—this new hobby has brought me to feeling humble, grateful, enchanted and quiet. I have access to the subtle yet powerful intelligences of things growing just outside my door. And after years of my traumas teaching me falsely to believe that feeling bad was right, I now feel peace and satisfaction as I tinker in my kitchen. It’s a sign of my healing that I am playing and creating this way—I marvel that I am able to be available to it—to put time and energy into it —and what pleasure it brings because it is sustainable, generative and beautiful. #plantmedicine #foraging #ptsd #cptsd #downregulation #sustainability #homesteading #hedgewitch

Caption : I was better at phone banking than I was at taking selfies. It was a profound experience talking to people in California, hearing their stories. Advocating for the politician I believe is most prepared for this fight. Everyone I spoke to is taking their vote so seriously; womever they are voting for. I listened to a Trump supporter for 40 minutes. He wasn’t even the intended recipient of the call. He talked at me for almost the entire duration. At one point he thought I’d hung up on him. “Are you there?! Please don’t hang up on me. Oooh… no…Have you hung up on me?!” He sounded genuinely dismayed. “No,” I replied. “I’m right here. And I’m fascinated, I am hanging on your every word.” Some volunteer callers in front of me turned around to look at me. It was true. I was straining to hear as the line wasn’t great and there was so much information flooding out of him so quickly. And I wanted to hear him. To truly listen. He told me the #metoo movement had ruined everything. That women with all their curves were gorgeous. And that if they put on lipstick and false eyelashes and get boob jobs and wear provocative clothing that they were basically asking for it. And that he wouldn’t respect a female president. That women’s studies was a waste of time. That communism meant you couldn’t buy the glove size you need. That women should stay at home and do the noble job of raising kids. That someone wants to paint the Kremlin pink. That something was important to him about women meeting foreign dictators with the right skirt length and needing a seamstress; I’m not certain as, again, the line wasn’t very clear. That he has grown daughters -one of whom was the intended recipient of the call- one who must have voted blue in the past ten years. He shared that he was in the army in his youth. I thanked him for his service. That surprised him. He stopped talking for a beat. He took a breath. I asked him about his daughters. How he thought it was for them living in this current culture. “It’s hard,” he conceded. “ It’s bad that one lady got raped but there are women who go to Drs five years later because they are rich and take their money…and there are men contd 1/

Caption : Papa tomato turns around to see baby tomato lagging behind. He walks back and steps on the baby tomato. “Ketchup,” he says. This joke only works said out loud not read. But it’s probably time to ketchup on #TheNevers on @HBO before the part one finale tonight or you’ll not have a bloody clue what’s going on. I mean, you won’t anyway for at least 5 minutes and that’s the point. Fun fact: this episode actually features a tomato 🍅 Always dreamed of working with HBO and they did not disappoint. Some dreams do come true. More later when my brain is straighter. Enjoy the mind f^ck that is episode 6 🙏🏼🤸🏼🧚🏽♀️👊🏼

She marched for her family in four inch Jimmy Choos (most of the way) and has ten blisters and many grateful love-filled memories to show for it. Thank you #loveisgreat for your sterling hospitality.

Caption : My 13 year old had a skate boarding mishap mid Ollie tonight. He has such a great sense of humour. He posed for this photo with a smile on his face and I cannot stop laughing every time I look at it. I don’t know why the unexpected toe cracks me up so much. Luckily the mad dash right as I was serving dinner was made to the Vans store before closing, not the ER. (Been there done that at dinner time for closing gaping chins and knees) This time he needed something without gaping holes on his feet for school tomorrow. Hopefully this pair lasts or @vans it’ll be our last. Now to wash the dye off my hands. My 11 year old wanted pink hair for first day back at school tomorrow. Popped him off to bed with a shower cap on. “ I look like a lunch lady,” he grinned. More laughter. Thank the heavens my kids aren’t dullards. #singlemumlife

Caption : When you’ve had a really long day and your heart is heavy there’s always this little crazy one. Halloumi. Yes, we named her after a grilling cheese because it’s one of our favorite things. And if you’ve never heard of the cheese it sounds like a Hawaiian princess’ name. And she is regal and stubborn and batshit crazy and chatty. Super vocal. She sounds like Jimmy Stewart when she tells me about her day. Or when she wants me to play and give her attention. She’s well travelled. She’s super friendly. Has a ton of energy. Runs like lightening. And has no sense of boundaries. She has five hundred nicknames; cheesy biscuits and hairy cheese to name a few. If this were a dating profile she’d be very, very single.

Caption : #nofilter I had to travel for a thrice-postponed wedding during a peak wave of Covid. It was as exhilarating to be out in the world as it was frightening to tempt La Rona. She found me. And I had the absurd privilege of recuperating in a foreign place surrounded by deep natural and historic beauty. And the thing I breathed into every cell of me best I could as a recovery plan, were the colours in these faraway places. The blue of this sky on our little nightly walks (once we tested negative) will be part of me forever.

Though it really makes me marvel At how resillient we humans can be. Self care, resourcing, and rest toward resilliency and “rescue”. Thank the universe for everyone and everything that support my healing, happiness and growth. For all my delicious co-creators collaborators and partners in freedom and fun For all the courageous ones doing what is right for humanity and democracy even when it scares us tires us and wears us down. We can save ourselves We can support each other We’ve got this. Happy Halloween witches!

Caption : #Detroit #locations #indies I’m so grateful for the time I’m having in Detroit working with emerging artists…story tellers…filmmakers with great attitudes and positive intentions. Who knows what the results will actually yield- so many moving parts. Not the point for me right now. Human potential both at the individual and especially collective level excites me; lights me up no end as I think about and feel into the limitless possibilities. I love being a team member- the culture of the set has to allow for it. And it has here. Thank you guys for inviting me in. I honestly believe we were put on this earth to co-create. I was anyway. To help make story-art babies with collaborators who have big dreams, hearts and minds. I feel really lucky and really full today.

Caption : Best valentines gift ever- a finger that is healing really well. Thanks for all the check ins and well wishes. I had given the finger the working title name of “2017” as the middle finger pretty much summed up that year though I’m thinking I may call her “Lucky” instead. The surgeons keep reminding me just how lucky I am-this could have been so very much worse. Way to reframe a big FU into something meaningful, positive and auspicious.

Caption : Covid-19 began to tug on all of my undigested trauma. Sitting with the unpredictable waves of it all, I had an epiphany; our primitive, ancient nervous systems are not designed to combat *invisible* threat. My teachers started doing webinars about it. “Clients will start regressing…anything unprocessed will be up right now… The virus is an invisible threat and poses an existential one also. Any near death experiences they’ve had, drownings, Intubations as babies etc. etc. all the developmental stuff… it’s all going to get triggered.” My inner child tends to be most noisy when she’s scared, lonely or having a great time. She started to chat. “When will someone hug me? Will we ever be touched again? What if I’m scared going to bed at night?” Yikes. I did not have great answers for her and she was not having a great time. We’ve all had our different constellations of people with whom to navigate small spaces or great distances during lock down. I have been in the -single mum recovering after an horrendous, traumatizing divorce juggling a total life crash, CPTSD, while broke in a four-job hustle and on my own-bubble of covid; with large doses of gratitude that I have in fact, been alone. Adult me considers it a great privilege. The paradox of PTSD is that is fragments, separates and isolates-kicks you out of the Queendom of Belonging -and yet it also needs a lot of space. A lot of quiet. I had done a lot of big girl work prior to Covid transmuting my loneliness into aloneness. I was once again enjoying my own company and able to admit without shame when I was feeling lonely. The acknowledgment itself would often shift the feeling. My experience would shift. And I would go back to the disciplined practice of my aloneness. A few weeks into lock down, I came across a teddy bear in a drawer I’d bought as an impulse-buy-bed-accessory for incoming guests in my airstream. It had seemed like a cute gesture; a way to support the illusion of a home away from home. When my inner little one saw it, she snatched it up and hugged this illusion of home hungrily. I smiled watching myself. Teddy was never going to be enjoyed by any guests. Teddy was now mine. Ours. Hers. 1/

Caption : #nofilter I came by this vision driving in my car and snapped this moment through the windshield. To the artist’s right, another artist on another cherry picker. To his right, tourists on the sidewalk below, taking selfies nestled in between a crudely painted pair of wings on a lower wall. I watched as people walked past the men painting. Were they seeing this? Was anyone sharing this moment with me? Two male artists up high, bathed in a God-like gold? I turned the corner, parked my car and walked briskly back to the wall and these men. Could I get a better picture? The light had faded, my heart pounding, the moment passed, and I needed to share it. “Excuse me,” I called up, smiling, shining to this man on the left. He was wearing ear buds though could hear me.”I don’t mean to disturb you from your work, I just wanted to show you something.” ” Sure,” he responded as he lowered the cherry picker down toward me. I held up my phone like a slightly shy child with my little offering- this moment I’d caught of him in glistening pixels. Embarrassed that I’d stopped his work, hoping it would be worth it, “I just wanted you to see this. People always take photos with those wings over there and they’re ignoring the magic right here.” “It doesn’t matter what we paint, they’re always looking at those wings.” “Well,” I replied,” not only are they missing out on what you’re painting, they missed this too. You are an artist and you are also the art. You ARE the art.” He looked at me like,’o-key cray-zee’ I started to shuffle off and thought, I’ll still show the painter on the right, so I held up my picture to him again, this little child, as if my subtext was screaming, ” please look! Please see! I’m trying to show you how beautiful you are!” “Cool,” he nodded. I had somehow failed the attempted connection with these men. I couldn’t share what I’d yearned to with them. Though the beauty of that moment was dominating my heart space. I got some felafel and now share it with you. #citylife

Caption : I’m doing this in b&w for those who don’t like blood. Partial amputation and a break. Dirt bike riding. It’s my middle finger. Kinda sums up 2017. Awesome help from trauma 2 hospital Henry Mayo. Thank you staff for realizing that you can be cool and pretty calm and losing a decent portion of a finger. My triage was pretty damn swift once I took off the gauze. I have trauma training to thank for my composure. Grateful beyond words for Somatic Experiencing and those who are training me. Thanks also to my bff @kristelsellsre ( best finger friend) for all your help and the second photo. It’s hurting like cray now though I’m still grateful as all heck. Could have been so much worse. Be safe this holiday. Be kind. Be adventurous yet intact. 🙏🏼💗🤞🏻🤷🏼♀️

Caption : My life was crashing hard and I really needed to function; the stakes could not have been higher. A friend at my sons’ school told me -out of the mystical blue – about a workshop Gina was holding for people in media and intuited that I should attend. Bless you @sabineelgemayel Bless you. I showed up that weekend with no clue as to what would unfold there, nor for me personally. I remember my jaw dropping as Gina discussed many aspects of SE and her work; the Trauma Vortex and a counter Vortex ( which she personally calls a Healing Vortex) within us all, as individuals and in the collective. She said that members of the media needed to understand this as we are generally feeding one or the other with our stories. Gina went on to explain that in conflict resolution we cannot hear each other or experience empathy for others if we ourselves are highly activated. SE and her tool Emotion Aid could help people in real time to down-regulate, empty and flush their systems and then listen more; and once we are more empty our cognition changes too, as do our stories. As a senior Somatic Experiencing Educator and founder of The Trauma Institute, Gina uses many SE tools in her private practice and global work and I could tell she had this burn Inside her to help the world and minimize suffering. This woman blew my mind. She needed a volunteer to demonstrate one of the tools. My hand shot up. I’d been having trouble getting back to sleep between 2-4 am each night for a month. She asked a basic SE question. And a whole process opened up. The event had been a recent home invasion. Rather than rehashing the whole event which could have been re-traumatizing, she guided me through my body to release any trapped energy as it came up. “Chick-Chack,” she said ( easy-peasy) and she was right. My sleep normalized again that evening. That event emptied from my body. It was not my mind that needed help, it was my nervous system. A day later I was on a hike with a friend when I came across a man frozen in distress on the edge of a cliff. There was a steep drop to his left. His boyfriend was getting increasingly stressed out. I overheard someone say he’d been there for two hours. 1/

Caption : The world is on fire and to add to it all, I know a lot of sisters who are currently working through heartbreak. Saw this in an exhibition a few weeks ago and it’s pretty much my current favourite thing. Trying to find artist’s name. Will add when I do. Ladies, everywhere with broken hearts…this is for you 🌺💋❤️

Caption : In other “news” my sons and I helped rescue an escaped chicken last night that had lost it’s home due to high winds. It ended up being a joyously neighborly effort. She has has been returned to her home. Her owners gifted us some very fresh eggs. I made egg in the hole. Side note: Apparently the chicken is somehow connected to the Kardashians. #truelastory #neighborhoodwatch #circleoflife
