February 15th, 2026 This year, the Fire Horse begins, beckoning our inner fire to rise and take action in whatever way is most accessible to us. Meaning, we will burn brightly, and it is up to us to hone and tame our inner flame so that we do not end up consumed by passion and… Continue reading

The Blatant Now
February, 9 2026 I ask myself this every day: What does it really mean to be present? What does it feel like? I know this from my time exploring various forms of art, that presence feels like flow. When I am one with the moment, my heart, and my head, I enter a flow state… Continue reading

Butterfly Wings
January 12th, 2026 I want to grow so large I can touch the sky with my fingertips, but parts of me yearn to reach the sky another way. A whisper says in the dark, traveling with a scent of vanilla-orange, “You must grow wings.” Right, I tell myself, because my destination is still far ahead… Continue reading

Jellyfish
December, 21 2026 It isn’t the giant tidal wave, the one that happens rarely, that signals an oncoming tsunami that scares me.

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

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

Recognizance
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

Painted Faces
08/19/25 My bedroom walls are painted with ghosts that howl at me and rush by whenever I need a solid interruption. I can’t tell why they choose to bother me—especially at night, when the moon has reached its peak in the sky. The moon rises and falls with the memories that put me to sleep,… Continue reading
