In order to help bring inner balance of respect for my energy and writing, most new writing will be behind a paywall. Having a paid subscription both encourages me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to continue sharing my work and offers reciprocity for my time and energy to produce this work. If you benefit from these resources and cannot afford the $7 per month subscription fee, please contact me directly and we can work something out.

  1. A thing about deepening and expanding our spiritual practices and our relationship with our ancestors, guides, spirit realms, and energy is that part of the deal is we are protected. Protection doesn’t mean nothing bad happens to us. It often means immense heartache as veils are lifted, deceptions revealed, and our metaphorical vision of ourselves, others, our lives come into finely tuned clarity. This often puts us in positions of needing to make hard or painful choices, have challenging, difficult conversations, and course correct our lives in ways that may be extremely uncomfortable.

  2. People who try to hide the truth about themselves do this from a self protective place. And when we know ourselves, are embodied and connected to our clair senses and deep inner knowing, we see through those self protective barriers others put up. It leaves us in a place of intentionally choosing how or if we have those people in our lives.

  3. Not everyone is always ready for the work of true (r)evolution or for the work of self awareness and self accountability that is required. Honestly I don’t know if we are really ever ready, and at some point we have to make the choice of whether we want to play the victim in our own lives, or the main character.

  4. Relationships require honesty. But we can only be as honest with another as we are with ourselves. An important thing to remember.

  5. The more we take responsibility for our own lives, peace, and happiness, the more our healing ripples through.

  6. Sometimes we just need to be sure of our people.

  7. No one ever deserves abuse. I don’t care what they may or may not have done. No one deserves abuse.
