Who the heck is this gal, and, is that really her name?
The short answer is, we're still discovering that, and yes!
You want more? Oh, I see... there's a lot of space here. Okay, let's start over. We get to do that, you know. Start over. And that, my friends, is the story of my life. Meet the writer, editor, and leading lady in this adventure. I am going to share what inspires me. You see, if you get that, you'll get me. Here goes...
MY INSPIRATION:
What inspires me? Nature and my romance with her. All things Mama Gaia...the ethereal, the unmanifest: seeds, seedlings, tiny eggs in nests, growing things, green shoots emerging from branches, freshly turned soil. Potential. Always potential.
Tapestries, Gregorian chants, ashrams, monasteries and sanctuaries. The Moola Mantra, Mooji, minimalism and spaciousness; room to breathe, to dance, to create. Open air, sunshine on my face, breeze on my skin, sand on my feet, and water. Always water.
​
Travel, cultures, stories, the texture of life and living. Tastes, experiences, adventure, spontaneity, saying "yes" to Life. Flow. Trust. Leaning in.
Crystals, women sitting in Circle, Grandmother Moon and the night sky, cycles, spirals, braiding hair, little girls in tutus and rain boots. Birth. Birthing children, birthing love, birthing ideas, birthing story, birthing courage and strength, sovereignty, conviction and vulnerability.
Love. The real stuff. Friends, late night calls and the cabs to be there, love notes left on kitchen counters and tucked into luggage and lunch bags. Vintage love songs. Cradling infants, holding, deep listening and making love.
Story time, fresh sheets, wildflowers, hikes, bicycling in autumn, swirling leaves, campfire smoke, rivers, the music of crickets, frogs and owls; snowflakes, children's laughter, birdsongs, wind chimes, freshly mowed grass, airport hugs, belly laughs, girlfriends, being behind a camera lens. Excellent espresso.
Having life cave in and rebuild itself. Saying goodbye. Saying hello. Breathing. Stillness. Life. Always, Life.

The life we see for ourselves is never a straight line. Mine certainly wasn't. I'm certain that many of my decisions were made because I felt stuck, and the discomfort of remaining where I was outweighed the big, scary unknown. We have to imagine. We have to pull the trigger, buckle up, and take the (oftentimes) harrowing ride, but I believe the risk is worth it.
Ultimately, anything that assists us in discovering more about ourselves, about life, and this world we live in, is worth the cost. Stretching, growing, learning, and expanding are why we're here, after all. My advice: surround yourself with supportive people and jump into your life. The truth is, we have no idea what is possible for our lives if we never try. Whatever feels too big, scares you, excites you, terrifies you, makes you come alive... Go for it! That's my big wisdom, Dear One.
