Jellyfish
December, 21 2026 It isn’t the giant tidal wave, the one that happens rarely, that signals an oncoming tsunami that scares me. It is the gentle whisper of intuition that causes ripples and real change, and it has me clutching the white poodle in my lap like a pillow. I once believed all the power Continue reading

The Road Not Taken
October 22, 2025 Sometimes, like a wet stone, etched and sanded smooth by water, I am tested and challenged so my life can flow again. Some things in life can hurt, and I’ve come to accept that. Like a punch to the gut, losing someone precious, swallowing harsh realities, and realizing that the world at Continue reading

Blueprints
10/11/25 Judge another and you judge yourself. When life teaches me this lesson of judgment, I remind myself that there is a gift in it. Early in spring, as life shifts from the cold and biting wind, I find myself bracing against the wave of pollen filling the air. I must stick to my allergy Continue reading

10/01/25 When life strikes its minute hand just before a new hour, you hear it tick. When subtle changes occur in your life that feel meaningful, you sense the gentle hand of life guiding you forward. You feel fortune like a path lighting up beneath your feet. Spending all your time repairing broken fences, mastering an Continue reading

Lack to Luster
09/16/2025 Much to my surprise, I’ve come to realize that money is a tool, not energy. Contrary to popular belief, the abundance we seek lives within us, and it is this inner abundance that fills our tools with magic. But yielding our own magic is no easy task. It is complicated, messy, and untamed. It Continue reading

08/20/25 I know that sometimes, when I am caught up in wanting and desiring, sighs slip past my lips as I piece together my peculiar behavior patterns and reflect on your initial reactions to my desires. At first, I take a deep breath, uncross my arms, and relax my shoulders. I lean into the freedom Continue reading

A Buttress Against Despair
08/08/2025 I have loved. I have lost. I have tried. But, time and again, what has failed me most consistently is my lack of motivation to build a life beyond my research, my art, and my fantasy future. I have locked myself in this glass box I inherited from my father, my mother, and my Continue reading

Catapult
08/06/25 Once, I was so terribly lonely that I decided to make friends with grief and sorrow. I had been scared of these underwater feelings, the kinds that take you down to the depths of the ocean, the kinds that block you from seeing the way forward. I had to learn how to live with Continue reading

Savage, Brave Actor
08/ 04/ 2025 Most of all, I want my time back. So much so that I was confused by a version of my past mirrored back to me in another person of the same age when I made a U-turn in life. An old reflection that lied to me that love was conditional based on Continue reading

Golden Bridge
08/02/25 My relationship with change is complicated because if I could only embrace change instead of giving in to my stubbornness, which feels like a raging waterfall flowing out of my chest, I would enjoy life much more. I would also save myself a lot of stress, tension headaches, and backaches. I’d probably get my Continue reading
