It’s Christmas Eve! My little boy is electric with excitement. It’s 7:25am and he can not be still. He’s downstairs in the kitchen pacing and walking vigorously in circles, talking his daddy’s head off. 🤗 He has even read his dad a 15th century Child Ballad about Mary and Joseph called The Cherry Tree Carol. He read it beautifully! The magic of Christmas is undeniable, and yet I find that, raising my children “non-religious” has taken some of the meaning out of Christmas. I hear talk of Santa and presents 🎁, fun and joy, but it seems that peace and good will toward all people has been lost. When I was little, those were the primary focus of the holiday season everywhere I went: school, church, and even stores and advertising. This year, my son’s Christmas concert at school had absolutely no reference to the meaning of Christmas – they didn’t talk about giving, about charity, about resolving differences, choosing grace, about peace on earth… In the face of all the evil done in the name of religion, I love all religion for what it does bring us – meaning and a focus on the things unseen. I want to do more at Christmas to keep the focus away from material things and, instead, on the Spirit, but when the rest of my society seems to have lost sight of the Spirit and let consumerism fill the void left behind, it can be hard. What do you think about the Christmas Spirit: whether that is the spirit of the winter solstice or the Spirit of Christ’s birth, of the spirit of Hannukah, or something else? What does Christmas mean to you? Does it have any meaning to you? And how do you live out that meaning during the holidays? Tell me your stories. ☺️🙏🏼🎄 #christmasspirit #christmas #christmastraditions #holidays #peaceonearth #goodwilltowardmen #cherrytreecarol

Back at the cabin. Feeling all the shifting energies. The wild Taurus moon. Pluto’s momentous shift. My own seismic rumblings. Time alone, removed and away, gave me space to process, to remember myself. Feeling deep peace, intense apprehension, willingness, adventure’s call, hope’s defiance, fear’s reservation, pain’s company and joy’s candle. 🕯️ Feeling so grateful. So full. And ready. #gratitude #pain #fear #hope #defiance #adventure #willingness #apprehension #intensity #peace #deeppeace #taurusmoon #plutoinaquarius #plutoincapricorn #cabin #presence #books #wisdom #life #health #joy #reading #michaelbrown #presenceprocess
“There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest.” – Anaïs Nin @writeyourselfalive #anaisnin

Redoing the wood on our rooftop deck. About 20 boards sanded and stained, and about 60 more to go 😅 #woodworking #diy #sanding #staining #project #homeproject
Once a year, I put away our annual keep-sakes and memorabilia, and I always take this moment to go through some of my memory boxes – pull them apart and remember. What riches there are in our memories. Moments that we do not have to fight for because they are already ours; nobody can take them from us. I have lived such a rich life already and I am so excited for what the next forty-five years of memories will bring. ✨ When was the last time you took a walk down memory lane? #memories #loveletters #motherhood #thesquickerwonkers #thehobbit #lost #marvel #fans #treasures

I don’t do band-wagons, so when one of my best friends recommended Miranda July’s “All Fours” to me, toting it as the new “menopausal anthem”, I was immediately resistant. More pop pith. But not at all. I read it and, fuck me, not at all. Talent like this is just profoundly defeating and annoying. I got to the end of the book asking myself, “how does a person do this??” The alchemy of truly good authorship is like the dark arts. To have something so fluid and creative hung so sturdily on a scaffolding of intention and razor sharp execution is more talent than I know where to put in my mind. It makes me want to draw near Miranda, sniff around the edges like a dog on the street – intrigued and wary at the same time. “How do you do it?” I want to ask her. But I know that question is moot before it’s asked. “How do you do it?” The question keeps ringing in my mind, and I want to find out if I can do it. So, both discouraged and inspired, I press on with my own writing and wait for the day when I will produce something that has half the merit of this masterpiece. It’s the not the first masterpiece I’ve ever read, nor will it be the last, but this is the most recent, and I just put the book down, and there’s “golden light everywhere”. Congratulations, Miranda. I hope you are so proud of your creation. It’s truly incredible. ✨ PS – I stole these images from your page. Hope you don’t mind. 🥸 (Scroll for the book cover) #novel #book #goodread #greatbook #perimenopause #menopause #midlife #midlifecrisis #secondhalfoflife #mirandajuly @mirandajuly

Tonight, I have been up all night praying, meditating, doing integration, visualization and manifestation work. I couldn’t sleep, I was buzzing with energy, excitement, fear, focus… And when I got out of bed and made space for it all, despite intellectually knowing I needed the sleep, so much moved inside of me. I cleared away so much inner debris. I feel alive! I feel calm. I feel clean. I feel HOPE. For five years now I have been doing the deep dive, the frigid plunge, the purifying fire. It has hurt, it has been hard to withstand, it has been glorious, it has been beautiful, it has been thrilling…it has deeply, deeply changed me. Now nothing looks the same, feels the same, and yet it has only brought me back to where I started…to myself…and this has been the greatest adventure of my life. Can anyone out there relate? Who else has been metaphorically walking on hot coals, lying down on a bed of nails, confronting the inner dragon, dancing with their own demons in the past five years? Where has it taken you? What burned away? What are you left with? Where are you going now? #carljung #change #innerwork #walkingthewalk #refinersfire #innerchild #innerdragon #shadowwork #pluto #plutotransition #plutoinaquarius

Do not fear losing love. Losing companionship, perhaps. Losing specific company, devotion, kindness, care…okay. But love is not something that can be gotten or lost. Love is. It is available at every moment to those who choose to feel it. -EL
LOST came out at the perfect time. I still remember all the talks and conspiracy theories me and my friends would discuss the day after watching the episodes each week! 🙌 Catch the first episode of ONCE AND ALWAYS A FANBOY, with my guest @evangelinelillyofficial!
